Family-Friendly Activities in Malta During July and August 2026

If you are planning a family holiday to Malta this summer, July and August are the perfect months to visit. With long sunny days, warm Mediterranean waters and a packed calendar of family-friendly events and attractions, Malta offers something to keep visitors of all ages entertained.

One of the island’s most popular attractions for families is the Malta National Aquarium, located just a short drive from Salini Resort. Home to hundreds of marine species from the Mediterranean and beyond, it provides an educational and engaging day out for children and adults alike.

For families who enjoy spending time outdoors, a boat trip to Comino’s famous Blue Lagoon is a must. The crystal-clear turquoise waters provide the ideal setting for swimming, snorkelling and creating unforgettable holiday memories. Families can also visit the sister island of Gozo, where beautiful beaches, scenic countryside and family-friendly attractions offer a more relaxed pace of life.

Throughout July and August, Malta’s traditional village festas bring the island to life. These colourful celebrations feature spectacular fireworks, marching bands, street decorations and family entertainment. Children are often fascinated by the vibrant atmosphere, while parents can experience an authentic part of Maltese culture. Many villages host festas during the summer months, meaning there is always a celebration taking place somewhere on the island.

Families visiting in July can also enjoy the Farsons Beer Festival at Ta’ Qali National Park. While adults can enjoy live entertainment and food stalls, the festival’s open-air setting and family-friendly atmosphere make it an enjoyable evening out for everyone.

Malta’s beaches are another major attraction during the summer. Golden Bay, Mellieħa Bay and Għajn Tuffieħa are among the island’s most popular family beaches, offering shallow waters, soft sand and plenty of facilities. Water sports, boat trips and beachside dining ensure there is something for every member of the family to enjoy.

For those looking to explore Malta’s history, Valletta offers a fascinating day out. Families can wander through the capital’s charming streets, enjoy panoramic views from the Upper Barrakka Gardens and learn about the island’s rich heritage through its many museums and historic sites.

After a day of exploring, Salini Resort provides the perfect place for families to relax and recharge. Among the leading hotels in Malta, the resort offers spacious accommodation, family-friendly facilities, swimming pools, excellent dining options and a convenient location close to many of Malta’s most popular attractions.
