RIVER ISLAND RESORT GUIDES: MALTA
Sandy beaches, historic streets and vibrant coastal towns – Malta has it all. Fresh from her trip, our Style Collective member Kalifa shares her must-visit destinations worth adding to your itinerary, alongside the holiday wardrobe heroes she relied on throughout her stay.
BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH
Located in the heart of Valletta, Muza serves incredible seafood and Italian-inspired dishes in a stunning al-fresco setting surrounded by historic architecture. The lobster ravioli is a must-try!

BEST SELFIE SPOT
St Julian’s is full of beautiful architecture and coastal views, but my favourite spot was actually the view from my apartment. Overlooking the most incredible stretch of blue sea, it felt like the kind of view that makes you forget you’re still in Europe.

WHAT TO WEAR BY DAY
The rust red co-ord is lightweight, breathable and perfect for wandering through historic streets of Malta in the heat. The warm tone fits right in with the surroundings. Paired with a woven black clutch, simple gold jewellery and oversized sunglasses, it’s the kind of easy holiday look that’s comfy enough for exploring during the day but still dressed up enough for sunset drinks by the sea.
