The star got a Maltese-style send-off!

British actress Marisa Abela, whose Maltese roots make this celebration extra special, has chosen the islands as the destination for her hen do ahead of her upcoming wedding to fiancé Jamie Bogyo.

The rising Hollywood star, who shot to international fame portraying Amy Winehouse in the recent biopic ‘Back to Black’, shared a series of sun-soaked snaps from her time in Malta, which provide hard evidence that she and her friends made the most of every moment.

From wandering the historic streets of Mdina, to taking a dip in Malta’s seas, cruising along the island’s dramatic cliffs, soaking up the electric atmosphere at SummerDaze Festival, and even posing by stunning antique architecture, Marisa’s hen do was a true celebration of Malta’s best – and kind of made us wish we were part of the bride tribe!

Did you spot the star-studded bride tribe anywhere?
