An enchanting island, with lovely beaches and mellow stone buildings glowing gold in the Mediterranean sun, Malta starts to weave its magic the moment you arrive; a canvas of lush green vegetation splashed with vivacious colour from the illustrious painted fishing boats in the bay, the island is alive with colour and vibrancy.
Arriving at the majestic Corinthia Hotel St George’s Bay, we were instantly in awe; a stylish modern building in a pale terracotta earthy colour, it flaunts graceful arched windows and perfectly embodies the charm of the island. Outside there is a choice of azure pools and loungers, all within view of the lovely blue bay and the castle on the promontory over the water. The sight of the old castle ramparts and the rest of the town glowing gold in the evening sun is just magical.
We were shown to our room, and found a lovely big room awaited us; stylishly furnished, it encompassed plenty of desk working space and a separate lounge area, with an atmospheric balcony boasting chic modern artworks and commanding stunning views over the glistening bay.
After a day exploring the enchanting area and soaking up the summer sun on a sumptuous poolside lounger, we soon discovered the range of wining and dining options on offer… spoilt for choice, doesn’t cut it! With several fantastic restaurants and great bars, there was no other solution than to try a different one each night! Concluding a day in heaven on earth indulging in culinary delights and the finest wines out on the terrace, in the glow of lamps around the balustrades and candle-lit tables…it doesn’t get any better!
Having finally discovered Malta, we will certainly be back, and making a beeline for Corinthia Hotel St George’s Bay.
