The monthly issue of Oh My Malta magazine is your go-to guide for everything exciting! Packed with must-do activities, stunning places to visit, and hidden treasures to discover, it’s all you need to experience Malta at its best. 

Welcome to Malta, and welcome to February!

If January had a personality, it would be dramatic. Record rain, wild winds, and skies that clearly wanted to make an impression. Now that the curtain has (hopefully) closed on that performance, we’re ready for calmer days, brighter skies, and the kind of winter magic Malta does best.

This issue arrives just in time for one of our loudest, boldest, and most beloved traditions: Carnival. Splashed proudly across our cover, Carnival takes over the islands this year from 13 to 17 February, landing right on Valentine’s weekend, because why choose between romance and revelry when you can have both? Expect colour, chaos, creativity, and a little mischief. From towering floats and extravagant costumes to late-night street parties and masquerade balls, Carnival in Malta is joy turned up to full volume. But when did it all begin, and why do we celebrate it? We’ve got the stories, the history, and everything you need to know to dive right in.

We also hop on the ferry to our sister island, Gozo, to experience Carnival there, wilder, and delightfully unexpected. Think tradition with a twist.

Beyond the festivities, winter Malta has plenty to offer. We take you through six picturesque countryside escapes, when valleys glow green and village life slows to a cinematic pace. And for families, we round up six brilliant things to do with kids, proving February is one of the best times to explore the islands, mild weather, fewer crowds, and plenty to discover.

So whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to familiar shores, we couldn’t be happier to welcome you home.
