What It Means for Our Students at Berlitz Malta?

At Berlitz | English Language Academy in Malta, we are committed to providing our students with an enriching and safe learning environment—both inside and outside the classroom. This is why we are excited to share the news that Paceville, located in St. Julian’s, has achieved the prestigious Purple Flag Accreditation for 2024/2025!

What is the Purple Flag Accreditation?

The Purple Flag is an international award recognizing towns and cities that offer a safe, well-managed, and high-quality night-time economy. Similar to the Blue Flag status for beaches, the Purple Flag ensures that nightlife areas meet strict criteria for cleanliness, security, and visitor experience.

With this accreditation, Paceville becomes the first town in Malta and Southern Europe to receive this recognition, joining a network of over 100 cities worldwide that prioritize a safe and enjoyable nightlife.

Why is this Important for Our Students?

As a leading language school, Berlitz | English Language Academy welcomes students from around the world who come to improve their English while experiencing Malta’s vibrant culture. Many of our students stay in or around St. Julian’s and Paceville, which is known for its restaurants, cafes, entertainment hubs, and social scene.

With this Purple Flag status, students can now enjoy Paceville’s offerings with greater confidence, knowing that the area is actively working towards:

✅ Safer streets with well-monitored public spaces
✅ Better transport options for easier and more secure travel
✅ Improved cleanliness and waste management
✅ A more inclusive environment that balances nightlife with community well-being

Rules & Guidelines for a Better Paceville Experience

While Paceville is now recognized for its high standards, it’s also essential to follow local bylaws to ensure a positive experience for everyone. Some important regulations include:

🚫 No drinking alcohol in public streets
🚫 No carrying open alcoholic beverages outside venues
🚯 No littering or excessive noise
👕 Appropriate dress code – being shirtless is only allowed at the beach

By respecting these rules, our students can contribute to keeping Paceville a safe, clean, and enjoyable place for all.

What This Means for Berlitz | English Language Academy?

This achievement aligns perfectly with FELTOM’s (Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations in Malta) vision for maintaining a quality and safe experience for international students. We believe that this accreditation will further enhance Malta’s reputation as an excellent destination for education and cultural exchange.

We encourage our students to embrace this exciting news and make the most of their time in St. Julian’s while respecting the local community.
