Malta zen: April 22-28, 2027

Into the Wild Malta is going to be a real vacation for you. come explore one of europe’s best kept secrets at the best time of year, before it becomes too crowded!

Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, this small island nation offers a fascinating blend of cultures, stunning coastlines, crystal-clear water, and thousands of years of history. In just one week, we’ll explore ancient cities, wander quiet stone villages, cruise past sea caves and hidden coves, and experience the laid-back pace that makes Malta so special.

This trip combines the historic beauty of Valletta with the natural landscapes of neighboring Gozo, creating a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. We’ll spend our days exploring coastal trails, swimming in turquoise water, discovering UNESCO-listed landmarks, and enjoying some of the Mediterranean’s most underrated food and wine.

What we love about Malta is that it feels completely different from everywhere else in Europe. It combines Italy, Greece, North Africa, and the British influence into something entirely unique. If you’re looking for a destination that feels unique, easy to navigate, it’s totally relaxing and completely different from anywhere else in Europe, Malta delivers in a way few places can. Additionally, if you’ve traveled with us for Croatia, Slovenia, Mallorca etc- you are bound to enjoy this trip- it just includes a bit more of a slow pace.

From April 22-28, 2027, we’ll explore the very best of Malta together. This trip is categorized as a Zen trip- meaning that you can slow down, relax and opt in or out of as many activities you’d like- you’ll only be moving lodgings one time. Glorious!
