This is my first post so just some general info for you. The hotel in St. Julians already mentioned is really beautiful plus I saw ads somewhere for spa hotels, so just ask any travel agent but be sure to specify what type of resort you want. We stayed in Quawra near Bugibba and it was quiet for nightlife. Malta tends to get a lot of Italians on holiday and they prefer drinking wine in restaurants as opposed to pubs, there were no Irish bars in our resort. You can also take a day trip to Sicily (we didn't as it was August and too hot), but we did go to the neighbouring island of Gozo, which was beautiful. If you get the chance, head to the capital Valetta, great shops and a lovely marina with restaurants, one day out won't do it justice. Hope this gives you a few pointers!
