Malta with friends is the perfect combination. The island is small enough to do everything without exhausting yourself, large enough to never get bored. In a week, a group can fit in the Blue Lagoon, jet skiing, a full day in Gozo, a boat party, three different club nights and still find time to sunbathe. That's why Malta has become such a popular group destination.

🎯 Why Malta is perfect for groups

🏴‍☠️ The Boat Party — The night everyone remembers

If you do one thing as a group in Malta, make it this. The Lazy Pirate Boat Party brings hundreds of people together on a massive pirate ship at sunset. Unlimited alcohol, DJ on deck, entertainment, diving into 26°C Mediterranean water, completely wild atmosphere.

What makes it special for a group: you're all together in the same space, sharing the exact same moment. The Boat Party is one of those experiences where the whole group lives through something simultaneously — and that's what creates lasting memories.

€69/person · Unlimited drinks included · DJ · Sea swimming · Book for groups of any size

🏍️ Jet ski — Guaranteed thrills

Jet skiing in a group is a completely different experience. You end up racing each other across Malta's waters, pulling stunts, getting soaked and finishing in fits of laughter. Perfect for a high-energy morning before an afternoon on the beach.

Solo sessions (one rider per jet ski) are especially popular with friend groups — everyone gets their own machine and you can race or cruise in formation. Duo sessions are available too for those who prefer to share.

20 min from €55 · 30 min from €75 · 45 min from €110 · Multiple jet skis available simultaneously

🌊 Blue Lagoon — The group photo moment

Non-negotiable. No group trip to Malta ends without the group photo in the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon on Comino. The question is how to get there.

For groups, we recommend two options:

💡 Group tip: if you're 6+ people, a private boat can sometimes work out cheaper than the all-inclusive catamaran — and you get complete freedom over your stops. Ask us for a quote.

🏍️ Gozo Quad Tour — Group adventure

The Gozo Quad Tour is one of the best group experiences in Malta. Picture a convoy of quads winding through Gozo's green hills, stopping at viewpoints over the sea, swimming at Comino on the way back, and finishing with dinner together at a local Gozitan restaurant.

It's a full day that's both physically exciting and visually stunning. The kind of day that generates the best videos of the whole trip.

🏍️ Gozo Quad Tour — Full day

Return transport · Ferry included · Comino swim stop · Sunset · €115 solo / €195 duo

⛵ Private boat — The VIP group day

For a birthday, bachelor/bachelorette party or just a premium group trip, a private boat rental is a dream option. Your boat, your pace, your stops.

❓ FAQ — Malta with Friends

Why is Malta great for groups of friends?
Malta combines everything a group of friends looks for: quality water activities (jet ski, boat party, Blue Lagoon), some of the best nightlife in the Mediterranean, affordable food, and a lively international atmosphere. Everything is close, and transport is easy.
How many people do you need to rent a private boat in Malta?
There's no legal minimum, but it makes economic sense from 4–5 people for a standard boat (€250–350/half day, so €50–70 per person). For a Gullet (traditional large boat), you'd want 10–25 people to share the €1,000/day cost.
Can you do the Blue Lagoon AND nightlife in the same day?
Yes — and it's actually the most popular combo: Spirit of Malta catamaran during the day (morning departure, back by 5pm), then Flo Skypool rooftop at 7pm or Hugo's pool party at 9pm, then a club. One unforgettable day.
