The Feast of St Paul’s Shipwreck
Valletta comes alive each year for the Feast of St Paul’s Shipwreck, as church bells ring out, streets are dressed in banners and lights, and the city fills with a deep sense of devotion and celebration.
The feast commemorates the arrival of St Paul in Malta following his shipwreck in AD 60—a defining moment in the island’s history that shaped its Christian faith and cultural identity. For Valletta, this day is both sacred and communal, uniting religious tradition with the vibrant spirit of the city.
At Iniala, we hold a deep appreciation for the way our community honours this cherished tradition. To mark this occasian, we are delighted to offer a carefully curated one-day itinerary, offering full immersion in the feast day celebrations on 10 February.
Through our Community & Social Responsibility partnerships, we proudly support the local organisations that steward the celebrations. These close relationships allow us to offer rare, behind‑the‑scenes access to sacred and social spaces not ordinarily open to the public, including private guided tours of the Collegiate Church of St Paul’s Shipwreck and a visit to the workspace where volunteers create the street decorations for the feast. Located on East Street, directly opposite the Iniala Spa entrance, this immersive tour reveals the craftsmanship, trades, and community spirit behind the celebrations.
We invite guests to arrive a few days before the feast, or remain after the feast, to enjoy these exclusive cultural experiences that offer deeper insight into the feast and its living traditions.
It is our genuine pleasure to share these meaningful experiences with you. Come celebrate with us.
