Malta Emerges as Top Autumn Getaway with 25°C Waters Now

UPDATE: As colder weather approaches, Malta has been identified as a premier autumn vacation spot, boasting stunning turquoise waters and temperatures reaching 25°C in October. With a surge in interest from British holidaymakers, car rental experts SIXT highlight Malta’s idyllic conditions as the perfect escape from the dreary UK climate.

Experts emphasize that the island, located just off the coast of Sicily, offers a diverse range of activities—from vibrant city life in Valletta to tranquil beach resorts in St. Paul’s Bay. In their latest analysis, they state, “With autumn temperatures averaging lows of 18°C, it’s an ideal time for many travelers.”

The jewel of Malta, the Blue Lagoon, is renowned for its breathtaking waters and is a must-visit for tourists. However, with 3.7 million visitors anticipated this year, access is now capped at 4,000 people per day, necessitating advance bookings. “The Blue Lagoon is famous for its turquoise waters and refreshing pineapple drinks, but visitors should plan ahead to avoid disappointment,” experts warn.

For those seeking a scenic adventure, the Blue Grotto in Wied iz-Żurrieq offers the second bluest waters in Europe. Visitors can explore stunning sea caves and natural rock formations while enjoying fewer crowds. The boat tour here costs just €10, providing direct access to a swimming area with no time limits.

Experts urge travelers to consider the Blue Grotto for its picturesque views and less congestion, making it an ideal setting for photography enthusiasts. “This is all the more reason to choose the Blue Grotto, where the vivid blue scenery can be appreciated without the crowds,” they add.

Travelers looking for another warm destination can also explore Sardinia, which remains inviting in October with its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Sardinia offers both urban experiences in the capital, Cagliari, and serene beach getaways.

As the autumn season unfolds, Malta stands out as an exceptional getaway. With its perfect climate, stunning scenery, and unique restrictions ensuring a more enjoyable experience, it’s a top contender for those seeking sun and relaxation. Travelers are encouraged to book now to secure their spot in this Mediterranean paradise.
