Jan 20 2023

Whether’s it’s a spot of retail therapy or going to watch a movie, there are quite a few ways of how you can spend rainy days in Malta. Which one’s your favourite?

1. Go shopping

As temperatures continue to drop, a little bit of retail therapy is exactly what you need to raise those temperatures. Whether it’s just window shopping or a complete shopping haul, pay a visit to one of Malta’s many shopping centres will definitely help you pass the time this January.

2. Visit the National Aquarium

Escape Malta’s grey January skies and dive into a colourful undersea wonderland at the Malta National Aquarium in St. Paul’s Bay. While you’re at it, complete the outing with a meal at La Nave Bistro and secure a great outing for the entire family.

3. Book a spa day

Whether you want to go on an intimate date with your partner, book a pampering day with a family member or catch up with an old friend, a spa day is just what you need. A few hours of pampering in a delicate, professional environment will calm the nerves and leave you feeling 100% refreshed.

4. Go watch a movie

We know how it feels to have cinema taken away and now that it’s back in full force, we encourage you to appreciate it as much as possible. Grab a popcorn, some nachos and find a film which tickles your fancy and you’re in for the perfect Autumn-Winter outing.

5. Stay in

The easiest option of all and in this weather, the most enticing. Head on down to your nearest supermarket, grab a few fresh ingredients and cook a dish of your liking as you stay inside to play a few board games or watch a bit of Netflix: time well spent.
