Is internet fast enough in Malta for remote work?

Yes. Fibre broadband is widely available in Sliema, St Julian's, Gzira, Valletta, and most main towns. GO and Melita both offer fibre plans with speeds up to 1 Gbps. In newer apartment buildings, fibre is standard. In older buildings, VDSL or cable connections are common. Gozo has slower and less consistent connectivity outside Victoria.

Are there coworking spaces in Malta?

Yes, but fewer than in major nomad hubs. Coworking spaces are concentrated in Sliema, St Julian's, and Valletta. Many nomads in Malta work from apartments, cafés, or hotel lobbies rather than dedicated coworking spaces. The iGaming sector has driven demand for flexible office space, which has slightly improved availability.

Which internet provider should I use in Malta?

GO and Melita are the two main providers. Both offer fibre plans. GO has broader coverage in some areas; Melita is competitive on pricing. Check which provider has already connected your building — switching can involve delays. Most rental apartments come with an existing provider connection.

Getting connected as a new arrival

Most furnished rental apartments in Malta include an existing broadband connection from either GO or Melita. In many cases, the connection is included in the rent or easily transferred to your name.

If you need to set up a new connection, GO and Melita both allow online orders. Installation typically takes 5–14 business days. Some buildings only support one provider due to existing cabling. Check with your landlord before signing a fixed-term ISP contract.

For short stays (1–3 months), a local SIM card with a generous data allowance is often more practical than signing a broadband contract. GO and Melita both sell pay-monthly data SIMs with 20–100 GB allowances. 5G coverage is available in the main urban areas.

Coworking spaces in Malta

Malta has a smaller coworking ecosystem than major nomad hubs, but options exist in the main business and expat areas. Expect to pay €100–€300/month for a hot-desk membership, or €15–€30/day for drop-in access.

Area	Coworking options
Sliema / Gzira	Several options — highest concentration of expat-focused spaces
St Julian’s	Some options, often mixed with serviced offices for iGaming companies
Valletta	Limited options — café-style working is more common
Msida / Birkirkara	A few affordable options near the University
Gozo	Very limited — mainly remote-work-friendly cafés

Working from cafés in Malta

Many cafés and coffee shops in Sliema, St Julian's, and Valletta have free WiFi and are tolerate of laptop workers, particularly during off-peak hours. This is a common choice for nomads who only need a few hours of focused work per day.

Be aware that some popular cafés get busy and noisy during lunch hours. For video calls, a dedicated coworking space or your apartment is more reliable.
