A recently refurbished four-star hotel in the heart of Mellieha with four pools, a spa and a rooftop terrace, a short walk from Malta's biggest sandy beach.

A gentle hour on a small Gozo farm where you actually walk and feed the alpacas, plus meet a whole cast of friendly animals.

A full day of self-drive buggy adventure around Gozo, with a boat crossing, a swim stop and a three-course lunch, run by Gozo Pride Tours.

A relaxed two-hour tasting of six Maltese wines paired with local cheeses and cured hams in the heart of St Julian's.
