Leave the crowds behind and take the ferry to Malta's sister island of Gozo. Tourism has not made much impact and the rural pace of life is blissfully relaxed. The craggy coastline is beautiful too, with secluded coves, including the lovely red-sand beach at Ramla Bay.
What's to love: Short-haul but far enough south for guaranteed sun. It is the prettier and more chilled-out of the three Maltese islands.

Best beach: Ramla Bay is an unspoilt and not too touristy, and the clear water is ideal for snorkelling. Head up to the coastal path for stunning views.
See & do: Marvel at the ancient Ggantija Temples at Xaghra, swim in the lagoon at Dwerja, or travel to mainland Malta and go bar-hopping on the Valetta Waterfront.
