Experience St. Julian's, Malta Like Joey Graziadei & His Women Did on ‘The Bachelor’
Your romantic island escape!
Malta is a stunning, historic island in the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and the North African coast. The island is home to a colorful history, including Roman remnants, gorgeous churches, and the legacy of their knights. The beautiful landscape is surrounded by the sea, where there are countless caves and rock formations to explore. Talk about a dreamy location to fall in love! Malta is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of big metropolitan cities and an ideal place to enjoy a drink at an alfresco bar while watching the sunset over the water.
On Season 28 of “The Bachelor,” Joey Graziadei and his women visited the unique island, and Joey couldn’t get enough of everything Malta has to offer. During the episode, Joey says, “I am so excited to be in Malta. I can tell why people love to come here. It’s absolutely beautiful. It has that old-school vibe to it and you can tell there’s a lot of culture. It’s also close to the water and there is a ton of beauty. Something about it just feels right.” So if you and your boo are looking for the perfect escape to fall even more in love, visit Malta! Here’s how you can enjoy the island just like Joey did on “The Bachelor.”
Where to Stay: InterContinental Malta
The perfect hotel! Joey and the women of his season stayed at the InterContinental while in Malta. The hotel’s prime location in St. George’s Bay in St. Julian’s makes it the ideal place to stay while soaking up everything the island has to offer. Not only does the InterContinental have 481 elegantly furnished rooms but the amenities are dreamier than you can imagine. The hotel has a spa, gym, three swimming pools, fine dining restaurants, and a private beach club. The InterContinental has really thought of everything because there is also a hair salon, on-call doctors, laundry services, nanny services, dieticians, and more. Every need will be met if you’re staying at the InterContinental Malta! During the Bachelor's stay, the women shared the Presidential Suite and Penthouse Suite, while Joey stayed in the Panoramic Suite. So if you and your partner want the perfect getaway destination, look no further than the InterContinental Malta.
Date Ideas: Explore the Island!
For his dates in Malta, Joey wanted to see as much of the island as he could. For his first one-on-one date of the week, he invited Lexi to explore the city with him. The two walked through the streets of Malta, tried Maltese cuisine, danced with locals, and visited the Church of St. Paul’s Shipwreck. For his group date, Joey invited his women to Fort Manoel, built by the Knights of Malta. The ladies were trained to be knights so they could fight for love with Joey. The girls got fully decked out in swords, shields, boots, and armor. How fun! For his last date of the week, Joey took Sydney and Maria on a boat, where they explored caves like The Blue Grotto and saw Malta from the sea. We couldn’t get enough of all of these dates! Sooo, are you ready to book your trip to Malta?!
