Malta is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world for many reasons. A year-round temperate climate adds to the appeal of the island, especially during the winter months. Temperatures may drop to as low as 49 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter and reach as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer. The lowest recorded temperature in the history of the island was just above 34 degrees Fahrenheit, while the highest temperature ever recorded was 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Portomaso is a 31-acre waterfront development that boasts luxurious accommodations, clubs and exciting activities. The primary goal of the developers of Portomaso was to become one of the most prestigious locations in all of Malta and the Mediterranean. Most attractions in the Portomaso area include activities for children as well as for adults.
The Casino at Portomaso
Aside from comfortable weather year-round and beautiful sandy beaches, Malta is a primary destination for people who like to try their luck at the gaming tables. All four of the island's major casinos have adjoining restaurants, bars and live entertainment.
Upon arrival, be prepared to show your passport or photo ID because casinos are only open to those who are 18 and older. The casual daytime dress code changes to a casual-smart or business-casual dress code in the evening. Admittance is usually free, even for the most extravagant casinos on the island. The Casino at Portomaso is one of the most popular casinos on the island. It offers a free shuttle service to and from Malta hotels and a newly implemented, upgraded surveillance camera system for the safety and convenience for all visitors.
The Portomaso Marina
The Portomaso Marina is a relatively small marina dedicated to the ultimate convenience and pleasure of the boaters docked there. Since 1999, the marina, comprised of three basins, has provided a safe home for boats of varying sizes. The south and west basins accommodate sailboats and motorboats up to 52 feet long. The south basin has space to accommodate 45 boats, and the west basin accommodates up to 60 boats. The north basin primarily accommodates small watercraft. However, larger boats and yachts may be docked on the quayside at the inner fairway. The marina provides around-the-clock security, pump facilities and hot and cold showers for yacht owners convenience.
Vacation in Portomaso Malta
The primary source of economic growth on Malta is tourism. The prime tourist season is summer, although the island hosts tourists year-round. Malta offers many activities for tourists, no matter what time of year they visit. Boating, cycling, snorkeling, diving, horseback riding and golf are some of the most popular activities enjoyed by tourists. Tours of various parts of Malta are available by air, water and land.
