The story behind Malta's most thoughtful travel guide.
Lilodriftply was born from a simple frustration: most travel content about Malta is either superficial — "top 10 lists" recycled from other top 10 lists — or outdated. We wanted to create something different. A resource that treats Malta with the depth and respect it deserves. A guide written not by algorithms, but by people who've walked the streets, eaten in the restaurants, swum in the waters, and fallen in love with these islands.
We believe the best travel content does three things: it informs, it inspires, and it respects the place it covers. Every article on Lilodriftply is researched thoroughly, written with care, and designed to help travellers engage meaningfully with Malta — not just tick off a checklist, but genuinely understand and appreciate what makes this place extraordinary.
We also believe in honesty. If a place is overcrowded, we'll tell you. If there's a better time to visit, we'll share it. If a restaurant is overrated, we'll steer you somewhere better. Our loyalty is to our readers, not to advertisers or tourism boards.
Our focus is Malta, Gozo, and Comino — the three inhabited islands of the Maltese archipelago. We cover:
Every place we feature, we've visited. Every recommendation we make, we stand behind. We update our content regularly to ensure accuracy. And we never, ever accept payment to feature or promote a destination or business. What you read on Lilodriftply is our honest, independent perspective — nothing more, nothing less.
Welcome to Malta. We're glad you're here.
