Nothing says ‘summer in Malta’ like sipping gorgeous cocktails by the sea as a laid-back afternoon turns into a sultry Mediterranean night. With so many great places to try dotted all over the island, we thought we’d give you a few tips on where to get started when you’re in the mood for a cheeky cocktail (or three).

Another little gem located in one of Valletta’s many side streets, Cafe’ Society offers its patrons a refreshing alternative to your typical bars and lounges.
