The Erasmus Party Guide to Malta 2026: Best Nights by Day of the Week
Studying in Malta might be the best decision you've made — the island is basically a campus with 300 days of sun and the Mediterranean's densest nightlife. This is the Erasmus party guide to Malta 2026: where to go, night by night.
Your week, sorted
Monday–Tuesday — recover (or don't)
Paceville bars warm up early in the week. Tuesdays often bring themed nights at Toy Room — check the calendar.
Wednesday — midweek madness
The unofficial student night. Neon and glow-themed parties love Wednesdays.
Thursday — Café del Mar Pool Party
THE Thursday plan all summer: the island's most famous pool party. Split a taxi with your flat and it's cheaper than a night out at home.
Friday — Ladies Night at TwentyTwo
Malta's highest club (top of Portomaso Tower) runs Ladies Night — free-flowing energy and skyline views.
Saturday — Starlight or Gianpula
Starlight at TwentyTwo for rooftop glamour, or the outdoor mega-nights at Gianpula Village.
Sunday — boat day
Weekend finale at sea: see our boat party comparison — the Mega Boat Party is the classic student choice.
