The overseas travel to amber list countries is potentially a mess. See this for Malta and Spain (currently on the amber list whose advice has changed).

The Foreign Office advice (which tends to be the advice that insurers use to determine whether a travel policy is valid) say this about Spain (on the left) and Malta (on the right).
gov.uk/foreign-travel…
gov.uk/foreign-travel…

gov.uk/foreign-travel…
Yet both pages say 'you should not travel to amber or red list countries'
So for Malta we have:
"To prevent new COVID variants from entering the UK, you should not travel to amber or red list countries"
"Latest update:The FCDO no longer advises against all but essential travel to Malta,based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks"
*on same page*
"To prevent new COVID variants from entering the UK, you should not travel to amber or red list countries"
"Latest update:The FCDO no longer advises against all but essential travel to Malta,based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks"
*on same page*
The problem is the FCDO set one list, and DfT set another which are not necessarily consistent.
So, is your travel insurance valid in Malta? It's not clear to me. @SimonCalder
