5 Reasons Why Malta Is The Perfect Destination For Your Next Corporate Event

These past two years have been anything but easy for businesses around the world. Now that the world is opening up again and life is getting back to normal, there’s no better way to make your company stand out than by enlisting the help of our team of event planning professionals to organise an unforgettable corporate event overseas.

Whether you’re planning a conference, celebrating an important company milestone this year, or if you’d just like to treat your employees to an exciting team-building island retreat, here are our top 5 reasons why your company should choose Malta for your next corporate event:

1. 300 DAYS OF SUNSHINE TO ENJOY

That’s right. The island enjoys long hot summers, while winters are usually mild and relatively sunny, which means that there’s very little chance of bad weather raining on your event.

JUGS suggests: Take a sunny day, add a spectacular backdrop, and throw in a couple of bottles of fine local wine. What do you get? A successful event that your colleagues will be raving about for years to come. Get inspired by checking out some photos we’ve taken at one of our previous events at a local vineyard here.

2. YEARS OF HISTORY TO UNCOVER

If the island’s walls could talk, they’d have some of the most impressive stories to tell. Having been ruled by numerous foreign powers, from the Phoenicians and the Romans, to the Knights of Saint John, the French and the British, remnants from Malta’s vibrant history can still be found scattered around the island, with megalithic temples and fortresses dotting the islands and spectacular centuries-old shipwrecks hiding below the surface.

JUGS suggests: Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in the country’s history by giving your boring employee award ceremony a fun Medieval twist this year. You can also consider ending a conference or an evening get-together on a unique note, with a knighting ceremony to reward (and entertain!) attendees. With our Master of Ceremonies taking charge of your corporate event, you and your team are sure to be in for a memorable treat!

3. IDYLLIC BEACHES TO EXPLORE

Thinking of swapping winter blues for Mediterranean blues? You’ve come to the right place. Exquisite stretches of crystal-clear waters and golden sandy beaches await your team’s arrival in Malta.

JUGS suggests: Nothing boosts employee morale like a get-together in a non-work environment, particularly if it’s set on a dazzling beach in the heart of the Mediterranean. Spend a day together exploring the Maltese coastline with our Stand-Up Paddleboards and Tandem Kayaks, then end the day sitting by a bonfire and unwinding over a drink on the sand. But what would a teambuilding event be without a little healthy competition? Make the most of the sunshine and sparkling waters surrounding the islands with a Battle at Sea, and watch the Pirates and the Knights battle it out in a water fight unlike any other.

4. PICTURESQUE CITIES TO ADMIRE

Although the island may be small, there’s so much to see in so little time. From the UNESCO World Heritage listed capital city, Valletta, to the beautifully fortified cities of Mdina and Cittadella in Gozo, Malta is truly a feast for the eyes.

JUGS suggests: Time to sit back, relax and enjoy the view. Well, maybe don’t relax too much – we’ve got work to do! Get your team’s creative juices flowing by tasking them with painting different landmarks in Malta, then bring all the works of art together to create a unique, 360° collaborative painting. If you’d like to spend more time exploring the islands instead, you might want to take on the JUGS iChallenge; an iPad treasure hunt which takes place in one of Malta’ most iconic cities, and will allow your team to learn a thing or two about Malta’s history (and their colleagues) along the way.

5. THREE ISLANDS TO CHECK OUT

Three islands means three times the fun! Why limit your corporate events to just one island when you can easily hop from one island to the other? Take a trip to Gozo to discover Malta’s less developed sister island or, if you’re looking for a calmer atmosphere, spend some time on untouched Comino.

JUGS suggests: There’s no better way to get to know an island than to get lost on it… Grab your clues and get on your tuk tuk to start making your way around Gozo. If you’re after a more laid-back team event, grab your trekking boots and head to Comino for some spectacular views and uninterrupted time with your colleagues.
