Having an accommodation in Malta in one of the Malta Hotels gives travelers a chance to experience the wonderful island geography and two season climate of Malta. Malta is a densely populated island nation comprising seven islands namely; Malta, Gozo, Comino, Cominotto, Filfa and the St. Paul’s islands. Some hotels in Malta allow you to visit some of the uninhabited islands as some islands are restricted because they are protected and you would require a special permit to go there. Malta is located south of Sicily and north of Africa. Traveling to Malta by boat is no problem because some Malta Hotels arrange for transport from the island of Sicily to Malta.

Malta mainly relies on its underground fresh water reserves. Even with its vast plains Malta is only able to produce 20% of its food needs. Due to its dense population and low resources Malta is largely dependent on foreign trade and tourism. As a result of its dependence on tourism its government ensures quality hotels in Malta are built for the benefit of their country’s guests.

The arrival of winter in Malta means that there is heavy rainfall but this doesn’t help Malta’s water problems much because rain falling as heavy showers doesn’t get absorbed by the ground but it instead flows off to the sea. It is said that places with a Mediterranean climate are associated with the five large subtropical high-pressure cells in the oceans and that this also results in the formation in the world’s major deserts. For the Mediterranean basin there is the Sahara desert, for California there is the Sonoran Desert, and for western Australia there is the Great Sandy Desert. This effect can be seen all over the world especially in other parts that have the same Mediterranean climate.
