We would recommend to stay in St Paul’s Bay, as there are shuttle services between daytime and night time venue (at an additional price). Please see our recommended accommodation:  https://go.kaboodle.co.uk/defected-malta-22-accommodation

-The shuttle bus is the easiest way to get between the day and night time venues. It runs for all 3 nights of the festival for the same price as it would likely cost you for one round trip in a taxi.

Please follow the link to buy a shuttle pass:  https://go.kaboodle.co.uk/defected-malta-shuttles

Festival shuttles are the best way to get around the island, to and from your accommodation and between the main resort and festival site. This shuttle pass includes unlimited travel from 7th-9th October. 

Your shuttle pass will be in the form of a wristband, and should be collected when you get your general festival wristband at the Box Office

Information surrounding shuttles will be made available closer to the time
