October in Malta is a quiet revelation. As the summer crowds thin and the searing heat softens, the island reveals a more authentic side of itself. For travellers seeking warmth, charm and cultural colour without the high-season bustle, October is the perfect month to visit.

The sea remains invitingly warm, making it one of the best months for swimming, snorkelling, or simply lounging by the rooftop pool at Alexandra Hotel. Early mornings and late afternoons offer the perfect conditions for hikes along Malta’s dramatic coastline – from the majestic Dingli Cliffs to the peaceful paths at Għar Lapsi.

Culture lovers are in for a treat with Notte Bianca lighting up Valletta in early October. This night-long celebration transforms the capital into an open-air museum, alive with music, dance, art, and food. With Alexandra Hotel just minutes away, guests can enjoy the festival atmosphere and then retreat to calm, comfortable surroundings.

Better still, visiting in October means better rates, more space to explore, and easier reservations at restaurants and attractions. From rooftop breakfasts overlooking the sea to unhurried strolls through historic streets, Malta in October is an insider’s experience.
