A 7-day mid-range couple&rsquo;s trip lands around <strong>€1,400–2,000 all-in</strong> (excluding flights). Summer (Jul–Aug) adds 30–60% to hotel rates; winter (Nov–Feb) drops them by half. Eating local pastizzi-and-ftira costs a third of hotel-restaurant prices and is genuinely better.</div> </div> </div> <p>Malta is cheaper than it looks if you eat where Maltese people eat, take the bus until the bus stops making sense, and don&rsquo;t book a hotel on the Sliema seafront in August. It&rsquo;s more expensive than you&rsquo;d think if you do the standard &ldquo;stay on the waterfront, eat at the restaurants with English menus, taxi everywhere&rdquo; approach — at which point Malta in summer can quietly hit €300+ per person per day.</p>
