Malta
Why it ranks so highly
A strong option when the wedding is intended to feel like taking over a country estate, particularly if the celebration runs across more than one day. House, grounds and setting create a destination rather than somewhere that only hosts the reception. Useful when the guest list is substantial but the atmosphere still needs to feel private and residential.
Best for weekend weddings, larger groups, estate atmosphere.
When to look elsewhere
Most of your guests need effortless public-transport access, or your priority is a compact city-centre celebration.
