Sunset Views on the Main Island
The western coast of Malta has some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. These three places are great for catching the last light of the day if you want to spend the evening outside:
- Dingli Cliffs: This is the highest point in Malta and a great site to see the sun set over the sea. The vistas are wide and calm, and the only sounds you can hear are the waves and the wind. Find a location on the rocks, bring a blanket, and enjoy the show.
- Għajn Tuffieħa: Għajn Tuffieħa is a sandy beach surrounded by rocks. It’s a great place to spend a calm afternoon that turns into evening. You can swim, eat lunch, or just sit back and watch the sky change colour.
- Fomm Ir-Riħ is a little more out of the way, but it’s worth the little hike. There aren’t as many people here, and it’s quieter and wilder than other beaches. The steep cliffs that surround the pebble shore make it feel like your own private sunset.
Romantic Views Beyond the Mainland
Gozo, Malta’s sister island, has a slower pace and even more breath-taking views than the mainland. It’s easy to get to by ferry, and it’s a great place to spend the day or the night.
- Ta’ Ċenċ Cliffs in Sannat: These cliffs are very high above the sea and are home to many birds and wildflowers. It’s a nice place to spend some quiet time because it’s calm and airy.
- The Citadel in Victoria: From the top of this old stronghold, you can see virtually the whole island. The fields and buildings below glow gold as the sun goes down. It’s a blend of love and history.
- Xlendi Bay: Xlendi is a beach community with restaurants directly on the water. It’s a nice place to have dinner after a walk at sunset. It’s colourful, pleasant, and laid-back.
Floating Feasts and Moonlit Memories
Malta has some great dinner cruises if you’d rather view the sunset from the water. There is something for every couple, whether they want to have a lively night out or a calm night in.
- Mowgli’s Romantic Sunset trip: This private sailing trip leaves from Marina di Valletta and takes you around Malta’s historic harbour and coastline. There are beverages, lunch, and swimming stops in peaceful coves. Fireworks, music over the boat speakers, and even surprise proposals have all been fun for past guests. It’s a great place for anniversaries, honeymoons, or asking someone to marry you.
- Sailing Charters: Want something private? You get a yacht all to yourself on this tour that leaves from Valletta’s Grand Harbour. Have a three-course meal, a bottle of wine, and beautiful views. It’s a terrific option for special events.
- Malta Excursion Sunset trip: This trip goes to St. Paul’s Islands and then back to the Grand Harbour at night. It also sails on a Turkish gullet. You get food and drinks from a buffet and a laid-back party atmosphere.
- BoatBooker lets you plan every part of your vacation, including the food and music, so you may have a cruise that fits your style. Pick your route, your food, and how you want the night to feel.
Budget-Friendly Sunset Cruises
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to see a sunset at sea. Malta’s ferries offer simple, beautiful rides at golden hour.
- Gozo Channel Ferry: Catch the ferry between Malta and Gozo in the early evening and watch the sunset from the deck. It’s short, delicious, and wide open to the sea.
- Sliema-Valletta Ferry: A quick crossing with great views of Marsamxett Harbour and Manoel Island, this is a lovely way to end the day.
- The Valletta-Three Cities Ferry route is very beautiful at dusk. As the sun sets, the historic buildings and fortifications light up around you.
Tips for a Dream Evening on Water
Picking the right cruise depends on what kind of night you want. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Group size: Private cruises are great for relaxing; group cruises are more social and enjoyable.
- Food style: Some have buffets, while others serve dinner on plates.
- Entertainment: You can go for music and dancing or something calm and quiet
- Price: Expect anything from €30 to over €600 depending on the experience. For the budget-friendly ones, you’ll pay around €5.
- Where to board: Most cruises leave from Sliema, Valletta, or Msida.
