Malta sits in the mid-range band on the ground. These are planning estimates, not quotes.

Daily spend per person

Budget — about $60 a day
Mid-range — about $135 a day
Comfortable — about $270 a day

A 7-day trip, excluding flights

Multiply the daily figures out and a 7-day trip lands near these totals per person.

Budget — around $420
Mid-range — around $945
Comfortable — around $1,890

Flights

Flights are not included in these estimates. Fares move far more than on-the-ground costs, so check live prices from your departure city before you commit.

Where the money actually goes

Transport between places is the line item most people underestimate. In Malta that usually means public buses cover the main island and are the cheapest way to move

Easy savings

Travel in April, May rather than the busiest weeks, base yourself in fewer towns to cut transfer days, and book accommodation just outside the headline neighbourhoods.
