Malta’s summer sun is no joke, and sometimes not even a refreshing swim can help you beat the heat.
Having a list of go-to activities to entertain yourself with when it gets blisteringly hot out there is the best way to ensure that you can protect yourself whilst still enjoying the summer months.
That being said, here are eight fun indoor activities you can get up to this summer to stop you from feeling bored:
1. Make ice lollies
There’s nothing better than a rejuvenating ice lolly on a summer’s day - especially if it’s homemade.
This can be the perfect healthy alternative summer snack since you get to choose your own ingredients. Just pour some of your favourite fruit juice into a popsicle mode, stick it into the freezer, and enjoy!
2. Have an at-home spa day
Pampering yourself doesn’t need to cost you an arm and a leg.
Run a refreshing bath, make a homemade facial mix, and give your feet a well-deserved break by soaking them in some salt water.
3. Host a movie marathon night
Lights, popcorn, play.
It’s nice to take a break from all those fast-paced summer events just to stay home and watch a movie. Simply switch on the AC, pick your film of choice, and the rest is history.
4. Tie-dye some t-shirts
This fun project will keep you busy for a few hours and leave you with a colourful new wardrobe.
Tie-dyeing old clothes is a great example of upcycling that will reward you with some great summer pieces.mer.
5. Get baking
This is the perfect time to try your hand out at baking!
Even if you don’t exactly consider yourself to be the next Gordon Ramsay, trying a simple cookie recipe is bound to be loads of fun. Just make sure to share your product with your nearest and dearest.

Bring the beach to your home!
