The clocks have changed and soon it will be dark at 4pm, which can only mean one thing: winter is coming. But Brits have found an escape route, by means of a budget trip to Malta for just £69 per person.
Just a three-hour flight from London, the Mediterranean island is renowned for boasting 300 days of sunshine a year, great news if you're craving a last-minute dose of vitamin D.

Weather aside, Malta is also known for its buzzy restaurant scene, historic architecture, and some of the world’s best diving sites. The fortress city of Valletta is particularly beloved, as visitors flock to see its baroque and neo-classical architecture up close.
The holiday package everyone is talking about includes a two-night stay at four-star Solana Hotel which boasts a panoramic pool, fitness centre, and spa. And just one scroll of the reviews told us everything we need to know.
One visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: “I don't have a single negative thing to say about this hotel. On the contrary, it's one of the nicest I have stayed in and I've stayed in a fair few. The staff are very professional within their roles, and are all friendly and helpful. I would definitely come here again and don't want to go home.”

Another five-star review reads, “My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel for a week and honestly it blew our expectations out of the water. The rooms were well furnished, even including a small enclosed kitchen, and the staff were extremely friendly and professional.”
“It's a rare occasion that the hotel is a highlight of one's trip but on this occasion it shines through. The food was honestly the best I’ve had in my life and I’m no stranger to lavish restaurants.”
A third traveller simply wrote: “Fantastic little gem of a hotel.”
