It takes an island to raise a child. Welcome to yours.
We started Island Bébé in December 2020 with one mission: to make parenting in Malta easier.
As parents ourselves, we know that Malta has so much to offer young families, but all the information is scattered around, difficult to find and often outdated.
We wanted to solve this problem by offering high-quality, relatable, local content in one accessible platform. Through this site and our social media channels, we share expert advice, suggestions for family activities and reviews of local brands and services, all within a fun, relatable parenting community.
From parks to packed lunches, product reviews and parenting lols, we’ve got your back.
When you have questions about your little one, you don’t really want to trust any old website or influencer with the answer. We get that.
Plus – most of the content out there isn’t really relevant to Malta and Gozo, is it? We have an excellent system of medical and maternity care which is so different to the rest of the world. It’s hard to know what advice counts for our little island.
That’s why we reach out to the local professionals: paediatricians, midwives, gynaes and educators. We ask them the questions you want the answers to, so you don’t have to.
We understand that all that content can take a while to read through – and who on earth has the time? That’s why we break down the wall of information into bite size, accessible content that tells you exactly what you need to know during your 5-minute social media coffee break.
You can never have enough parenting tools or resources, right? The educational kind. The entertaining kind. The “I need to get out of this house but have nowhere to go” kind.
We’ve got your back. We’re constantly on the lookout for new activities to keep your little ones happy and thriving, both inside the house and in our island’s great outdoors.
- Our news digests give you educational conversation starters to explore with your school-aged children.
- Our village guides give you day-long itineraries for the whole family to explore a new corner of the island (coffee breaks included).
- Our rainy day activity ideas will keep your little ones from climbing the walls.
- Our recipes help you make the most of Malta’s seasonal produce to boost your family’s nutrition.
Another birthday party. Another baptism. And before you know it, Christmas has come around again!
You must be bored of shopping at the same four stores every time, aren’t you? Plus, wouldn’t it be great if everything could be delivered to your door?
Turns out, Malta and Gozo are packed with options to keep your gifts varied, original and supporting local.
The good news is that we do all the digging for you, scouring the best our islands have to offer for any occasion and any recipient and putting it all together in our beautiful gift guides.
Listen up: You are not alone. You are on an island bursting with parents just like you.
We go straight to the source, gathering real stories from local parents who have been through the same thing you are experiencing right now.
They have tips to give, laughs to share and experiences that you will definitely relate to. We’ve created a space to share them – that way, you’ll know where to click the next time you’re feeling alone.
What’s the point of living on a beautiful island with glorious weather if we only ever spend our time at the same swing set and that coffee shop on the corner?
There’s so much to explore with your little ones, but we understand that you don’t have the time to go looking for it.
That’s why, as always, we do all the work for you:
- Our event calendar is your one-stop resource for family-friendly activities across Malta and Gozo – constantly updated for your convenience.
- Our activity guides give you the best options for every occasion and season, meaning that there is always something new to try with your family.
- Our ‘Bebe’s Day Out’ guides guarantee a full day of new experiences, encouraging the whole family to explore a new village on the island without having to plan a thing.
