A pool day in Malta is one of summer's greatest pleasures. With spectacular settings, crystalline waters, and long, sun-drenched hours, the island offers an experience that's hard to match anywhere in the Mediterranean.
Pool Day Essentials
- Water — essential hydration when spending time in the sun
- Shades — larger, rounder lenses protect your eyes and prevent wrinkles from squinting
- Games — waterproof playing cards or pool games for entertainment with friends
- A good book or magazine — a poolside classic
- Sun lotion — critical protection, applied generously and regularly
