Indulgence Divine - Malta holiday rental

25/08/2026

When we admire the splendour of a Maltese feast, we rarely see the craftsmanship behind it. These pedestal structures, created for the Feast of St Dominic in Birgu (always the last weekend of August), begin as beautifully crafted wooden forms. Skilled artists then use traditional painting techniques to transform them into what appears to be richly coloured marble.

A reminder that some of Malta’s most fascinating cultural heritage lies not only in the celebrations themselves, but also in the remarkable talent that brings them to life.

Explore the Inquisitor's Palace

While Valletta gets most of the attention, one of Malta's most fascinating museums sits quietly in Birgu.

The Inquisitor's Palace offers a rare glimpse into the social, religious and political history of Malta. Wander through its chambers and discover stories that shaped everyday life on the islands centuries ago.

Perfect for travellers who enjoy peeling back layers of history rather than simply ticking off landmarks.

Follow the Footsteps of Sailors

One of the best ways to experience Birgu is simply to wander.

Forget maps for an hour. Explore the narrow streets behind St Lawrence Church, discover old doorways marked with centuries-old details, and imagine the merchants, sailors and Knights who once walked the same routes.

The most memorable travel experiences are often the unplanned ones.

Sleep Inside History

There's something special about staying in a place that belongs to its surroundings.

Birgu isn't a resort town. It is a living historic community where every limestone alley tells a story. Staying at Indulgence Divine means waking up within walking distance of fortifications, churches, palaces and maritime history that shaped the Mediterranean.

For history lovers, location isn't just convenience. It's part of the experience.

Discover a Different Side of Birgu

Tucked away in the quiet streets of Vittoriosa is the beautiful Oratory of St Joseph, a small and often-overlooked treasure filled with history and atmosphere. It's the kind of place you won't find on most tourist itineraries, which makes discovering it all the more rewarding.

At Indulgence Divine, we love sharing the hidden corners of our historic city with guests who appreciate authentic experiences over crowded attractions.

Two Bad Tourists recommend Malta as one of the The Best LGBTQ+ Honeymoon Destinations - "Malta is the romantic gift that keeps on giving. With its blend of cultures—from Italian and Arabic to British and North African (everyone seems to have ruled Malta at some point)—the archipelago is the perfect backdrop for letting out some post-wedding passion. Its natural beauty is rivaled only by its man-made marvels: the romantic cobblestone streets of Valletta (horse-drawn carriages and everything), golden beaches (like Golden Beach), hidden coves and lagoons (like the crystalline beauty that is Blue Lagoon), and majestic fortresses (like those found in “the Silent City” of Mdina) overlooking sky-blue seas."

When you enter Indulgence Divine and look up before climbing those old uneven steps, your mood is lifted and it's a fabuolus start to the stay. It always helps if the sun is shining of course but not even rain could dampen (see what I did there?) the spirit - the glass ceiling shelters well.
