Pop The Question!

Planning to pop the question on Valentine’s Day? Malta offers plenty of memorable settings, from a quiet spot overlooking the sea to a rooftop restaurant or a private hotel terrace.

You could choose a sunset beach, a scenic viewpoint near Dingli Cliffs, or a place that means something special to you both. For an outdoor proposal, check the weather and have an indoor alternative ready, as February can bring rain and strong winds.

Adventurous Couples Activity

If you both enjoy adventure, plan an activity you can experience together, such as a guided quad bike tour in Gozo or a scuba diving session with a qualified instructor.

For outdoor activities in February, check availability, any experience requirements and the operator’s weather cancellation policy. Keep your plans flexible, as wind and sea conditions may affect activities.

Intimate Couple’s Massage

A couples massage is a relaxing way to spend Valentine’s Day together. Some spas offer treatments for two in the same room, with packages that may also include access to an indoor pool, sauna or steam room.

Check the treatment details and which facilities are included before booking. If you would like your massages at the same time, confirm this with the spa when making your reservation.

Wine Tasting For Two

Spend some time together over a wine tasting, sampling Maltese wines and learning about how they are made. A tasting at a winery, historic cellar or cosy wine bar can make a lovely addition to your Valentine’s plans.

For an option in the capital, explore this wine tasting experience at Koccio Valletta, which pairs wines with food in a charming setting.

Check availability for your chosen date and what is included before booking. If you are both drinking, arrange transport so you can enjoy the experience.

Home Date With Your Partner

A cosy evening at home can be just as special as going out for Valentine’s Day. Cook a favourite meal together, set the table with candles or settle down for a film with your favourite snacks.

You could look through old photographs, play a board game or simply enjoy a quiet evening together. You do not need to spend a fortune to make time for each other.
