**Please note the local payment is part of the holiday cost and payable to the Mango co-ordinator on arrival in resort. We have to make some payments in cash in resort and collecting this part of the holiday cost this way enables us to keep our overall prices down.
Flights and Transfers: Flights are available from Manchester, Birmingham, Stansted, Luton, Heathrow and Gatwick. Flights may also be available from other airports. Some flights may be subject to supplement. You are advised to book early in order to avoid flight supplements.
Prices include: flights, transfers, half board accommodation and a Mango co-ordinator who will be with the group. We include a trip to Valetta by local bus and a trip to Gozo by local bus and ferry. Each morning after breakfast we meet up with the co-ordinator who will organise a programme of activities and visits. There will also be a get together before dinner so that the group can go into the dining room and eat together.
Malta has lots to offer and lots of fun things to do. There’s the fantastic Water Park and Popeye village, where the Popeye filmset is now open to visitors. There are great boat trips, including being a pirate for the day. Why not try snorkelling, scuba diving, or sailing or one of many more activities on offer. A holiday on Malta is as lively or as tranquil as you choose to make it, with charming towns and villages as well as bustling towns with shops and seafront cafes. It is hot but never too hot as the cooling breezes drift in from the sea.
Accommodation
We will be staying 7 nights half board at the 4 star Qawra Palace Hotel in Salina Bay. Salina Bay is a quiet secluded area on the outskirts of St Paul’s Bay with a rocky cove. The hotel is situated right on the sea front. The hotel is privately -owned by the Vella family and has 3 seafront pools, an adult pool, a children’s pool and a toddler pool as well as an indoor pool. There’s a pool bar, coffee shop, hairdressing salon, lounge bar and nightly entertainment programme. It also has Tennis court, mini-golf and pool table. Malta’s sandy beaches at Mellieha Bay and Golden Bay are about 12km away and can easily be reached by bus.
The Maltese Islands have often been called the island of sunshine and history. With a history boasting 6,000 years of civilisation, every inch of its land, its temples and monuments bear witness to past civilisations. For those of you with an appetite for culture, Malta and Gozo are strewn with fascinating historical and archaeological sites, some of which date back earlier than the Pyramids! Visit the Mdina, the old capital and take a step back in time in the Silent City. Visit the new capital, Valletta a World Heritage Centre and great for both shopping and sight-seeing with tiny shops in narrow streets, where you can see craftsmen at work (especially the jewellers making fine filigree silver pieces), churches, Baroque buildings, street cafes and elegant gardens. The fishing village of Marsaxlokk in the south of the island is pretty and has a busy fish market every Sunday.
The old buses are a unique feature of Malta and offer a great network of routes, with cheap fares and frequent services, making it easy to see any part of the island. Gozo, Malta’s sister island, is greener and more tranquil than Malta with sweeping views of terraced fields, glimmering shore-lines, imposing churches and a Neolithic Temple. A regular ferry service links Malta to Gozo.
We include a trip to the island of Gozo and a trip to Valetta by public bus and Ferry in our holiday .

Mango Holidays sometimes referred to as MangoKids run holidays for single parents with their children. Small families with just one or two children are often penalised by the big tour operators who charge for two adults. Mango is the only tour operator to offer a discount to these small families for all children up to the age of 16 travelling with just one adult. Going on a Mango Holiday is an opportunity for single parents to meet other single parents and many single parents become friends and stay in touch after their holiday. Mango is not a single parent dating organisation. If you are interested in single parent dating you should check out our links page, which recommends a few organisations helping single parents meet. Being single with kids can be a daunting experience but it can be fun and we have designed a programme of holidays and weekend breaks for solo travellers with children to make sure they have some fun. Our solo holidays for single parents with children consist of adventure and activity breaks, ski holidays and holidays in the sun. Mango single parent holidays take place in the UK and overseas. In the UK we have holidays in Devon, Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire and we have a Christmas Party weekend in Warwickshire at the end of November. Mango holidays for single parent families overseas travel to Mallorca, Malta, Cyprus, Jersey, Morocco and Lapland to see Santa.
