🌿 Sustainable Travel in Malta

Malta is committed to sustainable tourism — here is how to enjoy the islands responsibly and make a positive impact

Travelling Sustainably in Malta

🚌
Use Malta Public Buses

Malta bus network covers the entire island for just EUR 1.50 per journey. It is the single biggest step you can take to reduce your transport footprint.

🚶
Walk Valletta

Valletta is just 900m end to end. Walking is the best way to explore and generates zero emissions. Most key sights are within 15 minutes of each other.

🛍️
Buy Local

Choose Maltese-made products — gbejniet cheese, local wines, ftira and handmade crafts. Your money stays in the Maltese economy and reduces food miles.

🏖️
Respect the Blue Flag Beaches

Malta has 10 Blue Flag beaches. Follow posted rules, take your rubbish with you, and never touch or remove coral or sea life from the water.

🤿
Choose Responsible Dive Operators

Look for PADI or CMAS certified dive centres that follow environmental protocols. Never touch marine life or remove anything from the sea.

🏨
Choose Eco-Certified Hotels

Several Malta hotels have achieved Green Key certification or EU Ecolabel. Ask your hotel about their sustainability practices before booking.

💧
Avoid Single-Use Plastic

Malta tap water is safe to drink. Bring a reusable bottle and refill it — this eliminates hundreds of single-use plastic bottles during your stay.

Consider Slower Travel

Malta rewards slow travel. A week of exploring deeply is far more sustainable and more enjoyable than cramming in as many sights as possible.
