Long overshadowed by the glitz and glamour of the Amalfi Coast and Balearic Islands, Malta – the tiny archipelago suspended between Sicily and North Africa – is finally getting its moment. And thanks to its authentic baroque architecture, intriguing cocktail of cultures and upsurge of eclectic bars, it has never looked more alluring. Laid back and low-key, this is a country that doesn’t like to brag.

Big bang fact, not theory... According to legend, Odysseus fell under the seven-year spell of the sea-nymph Calypso on the Mediterranean island of Gozo. Nowadays the smaller sister island of Malta basks in relative anonymity, and diving and spas have replaced sea-nymphs as the main lures for travellers. Glastonbury it's not... The diving is regarded as the best in the Med, while the Kempinski san Lawrenz hotel has, arguably (and pretty randomly), the finest Ayurvedic spa outside the Indian subcontinent, but for us at OT the highlight is the island festival season each summer.
