Groups in Malta

inMalta organises and manages group stays in Malta, taking direct responsibility for creating the programme, coordinating services on the island and, if required, booking air travel. Operating in Malta since 2010 has given us first-hand knowledge of English language schools, hotels, residences, host families, student accommodation, transport companies, restaurants, guides and providers of activities and excursions. This network of partnerships allows us to create very different programmes, adapting them to the characteristics of each group, the length of stay and the available budget. We can manage groups of students travelling to Malta for a study holiday, schools wishing to organise an educational trip or language programme, Erasmus+ mobility programmes for students or teachers, as well as tourist groups, associations, parishes and religious organisations. The starting point does not necessarily have to be a predefined package. Especially for school groups and study holidays, we can start with the organiser’s requirements and build the stay by selecting accommodation, courses, meals, transport, activities and excursions separately.

Would you like to bring a group of students to Malta?

We can organise study holidays in Malta for pre-arranged groups from different countries: language schools, agencies, associations, organisations, clubs or other organisations wishing to bring a group of teenagers or young adults to Malta to study English. The programme can be completely customised. There is no single formula for organising a study holiday. A group may prefer a more affordable option or a programme offering a higher level of services; it may want a very intensive schedule or more free time; it may stay for one week, two weeks or a different length of time. One of the elements that has the greatest impact on both the programme and the price is accommodation. Depending on the participants’ age, the period, availability and budget, we can consider hotels and resorts of different categories, residences and student accommodation, campuses or host families. The English language school can also be selected according to the characteristics of the group. Malta has numerous schools specialising in teaching English to international students, and we can identify the most suitable option based on the participants’ age, travel period, location, number of students and budget. Lessons can be integrated into a broader programme of activities and excursions. We can create schedules that include the sea and beaches, cultural visits, boat trips, sports and water activities, evening activities, group experiences and visits to the main destinations across the Maltese Islands. We can also arrange full board or different meal plans, airport transfers, private transport for activities and any other services required during the stay. In this way, the budget is not simply adapted to an existing package: we can work on the individual elements of the programme to find the best balance between price, quality of services and the experience you want to offer participants.

Would you like to organise an educational trip or language study programme with your school?

Malta is also a particularly suitable destination for trips organised directly by schools. We can create programmes for schools from different countries, adapting the stay to the students’ age, educational objectives, number of participants, duration and available budget. Here too, we do not necessarily offer a standard programme. A school may choose to devote a significant part of the stay to studying English or prefer a programme in which lessons take up only a few hours of the day. Courses of different lengths and formats can be organised and combined with visits, cultural activities, educational experiences and excursions. Accommodation can be selected according to the group’s requirements and budget. We can consider hotels, resorts, residences, student accommodation and host families, also taking into account their location in relation to the school and planned activities. Similarly, the programme of visits can be created by selecting what is genuinely relevant and interesting for the group. Valletta, Mdina, the Three Cities, coastal areas, beaches and other Maltese destinations can be combined with language, cultural, environmental or recreational activities. We can also take care of airport transfers, transport around the island, meals, guides, entrance fees and the day-to-day organisation of the programme. Customisation also makes it possible to work around the overall cost. When a school has a maximum budget per student, we can start from that figure and identify the most appropriate combination of duration, accommodation, course, meals, transport and activities. The result can therefore vary considerably from one group to another: from a short stay focused mainly on education to a more comprehensive programme combining English, an introduction to Malta and its culture, and activities.

Tourist groups

inMalta can also manage groups visiting Malta exclusively for tourism, without an English course. We can organise stays for associations, pre-arranged groups, companies, clubs and organisations wishing to visit Malta with a programme coordinated before arrival. Depending on the group’s requirements, we can arrange accommodation, airport transfers, private transport, guided tours, restaurants, entrance fees and excursions. The programme can include the main cultural and tourist destinations across the Maltese Islands: Valletta, Mdina, Rabat, the Three Cities, villages and coastal areas, as well as excursions to Gozo and Comino. The duration and pace of each day are adapted to the characteristics of the participants. A group of adults primarily interested in history and culture requires a different programme from an association wishing to combine sightseeing, the sea, gastronomy and free time. For tourist groups too, we can therefore create the itinerary around the participants’ interests rather than offering the same standard programme to everyone.

Religious groups and pilgrimages

Malta’s history is deeply connected to the Christian tradition and to St Paul, who, according to the Acts of the Apostles, was shipwrecked on the island during his journey to Rome. For this reason, Malta can also be a destination for parishes, religious associations, communities and groups interested in a journey combining spirituality, history and an understanding of the destination. We can organise programmes dedicated to places associated with the presence and tradition of St Paul, combining them with visits to the many churches and the religious and cultural heritage of the Maltese Islands. The stay can naturally also include other aspects of the destination: Valletta, Mdina, the Three Cities, Gozo and the main places of historical and scenic interest. Depending on the group’s requirements, we can arrange hotels, transfers, transport, guides, meals, visits and excursions, creating an itinerary at a pace appropriate to the age and characteristics of the participants. The religious programme can therefore be the main focus of the trip or form part of a broader cultural stay.

One point of contact for your group in Malta

Organising a group means coordinating many services at the same time: rooms, meals, lessons, coaches, schedules, entrance fees, activities, guides and suppliers. inMalta can manage the services in Malta and act as a single point of contact for the group, from the initial planning of the programme through to the stay itself. For study holiday and school groups, we can start with just a few details: the number and age of participants, travel period, preferred duration, objectives and approximate budget per person. From these elements, we can develop different options and determine which services should be prioritised. One group may choose to invest more in accommodation and opt for a simpler activity programme; another may prefer more affordable accommodation in order to allocate a larger part of the budget to excursions; another may prioritise the English course or choose a longer stay. It is precisely this ability to work on every component of the trip that allows us to create a programme genuinely tailored to the group, rather than asking the group to adapt to a pre-arranged package.
