Exclusively Malta, creators of the Jewish Heritage Malta tour program, has been named Leader in Quality Tourism at the Malta Business Awards 2025. Founded by brothers Damon and Jason Camilleri Allan, the company has been instrumental in bringing Malta’s rich Jewish history and heritage to international travelers through immersive, meaningful experiences.
I had the incredible privilege of joining the first Jewish Heritage Malta press trip, hosted by the Malta Tourism Authority and expertly guided by Damon at Exclusively Malta. Damon’s deep knowledge of Malta’s history and Jewish heritage brought the island’s stories to life, uncovering hidden sites and cultural treasures that few visitors ever experience.
I warmly congratulate Jason and Damon on their remarkable achievements with Exclusively Malta. Their creation of the first Jewish Heritage Malta program is truly unique and has been instrumental in elevating Malta’s reputation in global luxury travel. Their innovative approach redefines how visitors engage with Malta’s heritage and landscape, combining cultural depth, authenticity, and immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression
This award, presented by Alaine Ciantar, Director of Visit Malta Incentives & Meetings and the Luxury Sector, recognizes companies that set the highest standards in quality, authenticity, and sustainable tourism. For Damon, Jason, and their team, this honor validates years of dedication to cultural preservation and innovative tourism, highlighting their role not just as luxury travel experts but as custodians of Malta’s heritage.
Through their Jewish Heritage program, travelers can:
- Explore historic streets and landmarks in Valletta, including the evocative “Jews’ Sally Port” street sign.
- Meet members of the local Jewish community and participate in prayer services at the Synagogue during the Sabbath and Jewish holidays.
- Savor kosher Mediterranean cuisine at the Chabad Kosher restaurant L’CHAIM.
- Gain exclusive access to the three private Jewish cemeteries.
- Explore Jewish hypogea and catacombs dating back to the 4th and 5th centuries.
- Discover the crystal waters of Comino’s Blue Lagoon, where the prophetic Cabalist Abraham Abulafia wrote his famed Imrei Shefer (“Words of Beauty”).
“Jason and I are deeply honored by this recognition,” said Damon. “It’s a tribute to our incredible team whose passion for authenticity and service excellence drives everything we do. Quality tourism is about more than luxury; it’s about cultural preservation, sustainability, and showing the true heart of Malta.”
