Holiday Overview
Join us on the delightful island of Malta and enjoy pleasant temperatures under the winter sun. We stay at the 4-star Db San Antonio Hotel & Spa, boasting an excellent range of facilities including a large outdoor pool, an indoor pool and Moroccan-style spa, and a private beach. The all-inclusive board is excellent value, and we enjoy our varied programme of bridge in the spacious Casablanca conference room.
Ideally located in the heart of Qawra, the hotel is close to many shops and all of the tourist facilities. The stunning 3.5m seafront promenade, passing Bugibba and St Paul's Bay and its islands, is the perfect place for an afternoon stroll in the sunshine.
The bus terminal is just 100m from the hotel and offers direct transportation all over Malta, making it exceptionally easy to explore this fascinating island steeped in history and colourful towns and villages abundant with churches and local festivals. Frequent buses will take you into the historic capital Valletta, where you can meander through this incredible walled city, or take a boat trip around the deep harbour and experience the views from the Upper Barrakka Gardens.
We include a full day excursion to Gozo, a three-hilled island that is much greener than Malta and very picturesque. Enjoy breathtaking views as you embark on a guided tour, stopping in the capital of Victoria. We also visit the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin and a local craft centre where we experience local traditions of trade and cuisine. Not to be missed is our optional excursion to Rabat and the Silent City of Mdina, with its alleyways and infamous Mdina Gate.

Please Note: Flight-inclusive packages are available at an extra cost, with flights from London Gatwick and other regional UK departure airports and one piece of checked-in luggage included.
Your Bridge Programme
Our bridge programmes will vary according to the length of your break, and, in addition to playing bridge, we try to include interesting bridge seminars, hosted by your EBU-qualified director.
Your duplicate bridge will be available every evening between 7:45pm and 11:15pm. We endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs and featuring at least one Swiss event during a two-week break.
Bridge will also be offered on some mornings or afternoons. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams.
Masterpoints are awarded on evening bridge sessions, and on day sessions with over 5 tables.
During your bridge holiday, nothing is obligatory, and you can play in as many or as few bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our bridge programmes also allow time to relax, giving the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area.
With our flight-inclusive package, today you will board your flight to Malta Luqa Airport. From here, you will be transferred to the Db San Antonio Hotel & Spa.

Alongside your varied bridge programme, enjoy a selection of excursions.
Rabat, Dingli and Mdina (Day 3)
On our optional half-day tour, we visit the historic town of Rabat, famous for its well-preserved catacombs that date back to the Roman times. We will learn about traditional food and enjoy a taste of pastizzi and specialities cooked by a family for generations, all set in a traditional little bar on the outskirts of Rabat. This unique experience will give you a moving, heart-warming taste of rural and family life in Malta. Our final destination will be Mdina, famously referred to as the Silent City. This former capital is essentially a living museum, enveloped entirely by fortified walls and boasting a labyrinth of narrow passageways adorned with elegant Patrician homes, Baroque churches, convents, and opulent palaces. A leisurely walk through this city of contrasting shadows and brilliant illumination will provide us with a deeper insight into the captivating history of Malta.
Gozo (Day 5)
We include a full-day excursion to Gozo, a three-hilled island. Much greener than Malta and very picturesque, enjoy breathtaking views on our guided tour, stopping in Victoria the capital. We also visit the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin and a local craft centre where we experience local traditions of trade and cuisine.
