Public Holidays in Malta — 2025
There are 14 public holidays in Malta in 2025 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
4 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 10 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 8 before July and 6 after it — with December the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 78 days, from Sunday, September 21, 2025 to Monday, December 8, 2025; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.

Malta sits in Southern Europe, is run from Valletta, pays in Euro, and has about 442,000 people planning around these same dates.
