A melting pot of colour, character and culture.
Culture, History & Luxury Living
Currently, Valletta is undergoing what can be considered as a true cultural revolution, particularly in anticipation of the awaited V18 events when the city will be the European capital of culture. The artistic scene is being boosted through various ongoing initiatives in this regard, while the new city gate and Parliament project designed by Renzo Piano are practically in their completion stages. It is safe to say that Valletta is being given an intensive facelift and several of its architectural jewels are being restored and brought back to life.

Malta has long been famous for its rich culture and history and anyone visiting the island is sure to appreciate this evident aspect. In addition, it is noteworthy to point out that Malta's historical background and island status push these important aspects to be present even around our shores. Along the years, Malta has grown into an attractive destination for those arriving to our island by boat or yacht as well as those who are keen on maritime activities.
Malta is an attractive destination for sea lovers - Rolex Middle Sea Race 2014
The Rolex Middle Sea Race is now virtually a tradition taking place each year, starting in Malta. It was first co-founded by the Royal Malta Yacht Club and the Royal Ocean Racing Club in 1968. Last year's race saw a record number of 122 entries. This is only one amongst several high-end activities and other examples of luxurious living in Malta. This leads us to state that other than the romantic tourist and the adventurer, Malta has shown its worth by attracting the wealthy.
Lifestyle & Fiscal Benefits
As it happens, interest in Malta on the international scene is ever-increasing, both for what Malta has to offer to those looking towards our shores as well as for the way in which the international community is contributing to our beloved island.
