SHOPPING FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST? GIFT AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER!

This holiday season, shoppers are on the hunt for the perfect gift, and experiences are becoming an increasingly popular option on the list of Christmas gifts.

Research shows that this trend, fuelled mainly by millennials, is set to stay, particularly since the increasing awareness of the importance of sustainability.

Living a meaningful, happy life is also becoming increasingly important in our list of life priorities, as is creating, sharing, and capturing memories made through experiences.

Many are therefore choosing to spend money on experiences as gifts, rather than on physical products, which we already have so many of anyway. This is particularly attractive as a Christmas gift for someone who has it all!

If you’re looking for Christmas list ideas for your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or other special person, consider that thoughtful gift that will offer a special and unique experience.

If the person you are gifting loves to explore and experience new places, then the gift of travel is one that will make memories they will treasure for years to come. And what could be better than to share these unique experiences together!

Most of us budget for vacations anyway, so you could also combine your travel and Christmas gift budget into a lovely trip!

The Heritage Collection brings together a portfolio of historic and period properties in Malta and in London, that you can choose from, all of which have been restored and converted into distinctive residences. A weekend getaway at either of these properties will make a wonderful Christmas gift and will certainly not disappoint!

The distinctive House of W is situated in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Valletta. This fortified capital boasts a rich history, with its narrow streets lined with Baroque buildings and magnificent churches. Valletta is also at the heart of Malta’s gastronomy culture, offering remarkable quality and variety of restaurants. Its vibrant cultural scene, makes Valletta a must-visit destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike.

House of W is a 16th century palazzino forming part of the former private residence of Grandmaster Alof de Wignacourt when still Captain of Valletta. Converted in 2022 following meticulous renovation, House of W now offers five exquisite apartments, each unique and finished to the highest standards of comfort and understated luxury.

In Floriana, our Stylish Retro Suites form part of a newly refurbished 100-year-old townhouse, just a short 15-minute walk from Valletta. The building has been expertly renovated to reflect its Mid-century history and aesthetic and retains a hip and retro vibe throughout. These apartments are usually very popular with architects and design enthusiasts, who love the authentic period furnishings and fittings!

Our London property is situated in Kensington, close to the major museums and the Royal Albert Hall. With its upscale boutiques, trendy cafes and restaurants and beautiful parks, this property offers a perfect blend of history, culture and luxury, right on your doorstep.
