    You are going to struggle to get to get anywhere with the budget you have considering there are 5 of you and you want 10-14 days(14 are usually cheaper than 10) and you are wanting half board or above.
    To get anything half decent you are going to have to up your budget.
    Cheapest holiday to Malta i could find was with Chevron
    It was in the Sunflower Hotel 3 stars in Saint Pauls Bay,half board and it came to £1412 for 2 weeks,leaving on 29th June from the East Mids airport.
