At Cugó Gran Collection, we invite you to immerse yourself in the unique charm of Malta during Easter, where history, luxury, and hospitality come together to create an unforgettable experience.
A spiritual journey through Malta’s Easter traditions
Malta’s Easter celebrations are deeply rooted in its Catholic heritage, and the island is known for its grand religious processions and rituals. The highlight of the Easter weekend is the Good Friday procession, where towns and villages throughout the island are adorned with candles, flowers, and religious statues. The solemnity of the occasion is felt through the streets, and witnessing these centuries-old traditions firsthand is an experience like no other.
For those seeking a more intimate experience, the island’s churches host special Easter Masses, offering a chance for reflection and connection with the island’s spiritual history. Many of these services are held in beautiful, historic churches, some dating back to the 16th century, which is perfect for those with a love for heritage and architectural beauty.
Indulge in culinary delights
No Easter celebration is complete without a sumptuous feast, and in Malta, the holiday is synonymous with rich, flavorful dishes. During this time of year, the island’s kitchens come alive with traditional Easter foods, and at The Little Bastion Restaurant at Cugó Gran Macina Malta, we offer a chance to experience these culinary delights in the most luxurious of settings.
