Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village, is a purpose-built film set village that has been converted into a small attraction fun park, consisting of a collection of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings.

Best time to visit and holidays:
Spring and early summer, April, May, and June is the best time to visit Malta. The weather is not hot (sunny days and the nights are cool) and there are fewer tourists. You’ll able to swim if you don’t mind the slightly cooler waters.
We went at the beginning of April and the weather was PERFECT! The temperature was great for getting out and exploring without being miserable in the heat.
Love the colorful grounds at Popeye’s Village!

Corinthia St. George’s Bay– a resort-style stay right on the water with pools and restaurants, great if you want relaxation with easy access to nightlife.

🎟 Top Malta Experiences

Blue Grotto boat tour – Hop on a small boat and glide through striking sea caves with that signature bright turquoise water. Go early in the morning for the best light.
-
Gozo jeep day trip – A fun way to explore Malta’s sister island without worrying about buses or ferries. You’ll cover hidden beaches, Ġgantija Temples, and charming villages in one go.
-
Mdina walking tour – This medieval “Silent City” comes alive when you know the history behind the alleys, palaces, and fortress walls. A guided tour makes it extra special.
