If you’re not set on staying in a particular place in Malta (or Gozo) and just want to find something special on Airbnb, these are a few of the most amazing options
Amazing revamped townhouse in the old part of town. 10-min walk from the seafront and Ferries area.
A true gem. Expertly renovated traditional house of character in a rural village on the outskirts of Mellieħa and close to Golden Bay.
Hard-to-find penthouse in St. Paul’s Bay with open views over Xemxija bay. Well furnished and decorated.
Amazing penthouse (top floor) apartment with amazing views and modern interiors, across the harbour from Valletta.
Truly unique Airbnb in Malta: A converted 18th century windmill, close to Mdina. Nothing out there like it.
Stunning house in the historical Silent City of Mdina. Probably the most-Instagrammed house in Malta.
The most common options for vacation rentals with pool are either apartments that have a communal pool or villas or so-called farmhouses (traditional, renovated Maltese houses).
Alternatively, you can find apartments and penthouses (top floor apartments) with a jacuzzi (hot tub) on the outdoor terrace.
A magnificent newly refurbished detached villa set in an up market residential area.
Amazing renovated traditional villa in a quiet part of Gozo with pool.
Studio apartment within beautifully renovated house with shared pool.
Gozo is Malta’s smaller sister-island and is known to be a lot more quiet and rural. A good option all year round, most vacation rentals here are either apartments with sea view (for example at Marsalforn or Xlendi), or houses/farmhouses in more central areas.
Attractive mostly for (mature) couples and families with kids looking for a quiet place to stay. Usually 2nd time visitors to Malta.
Stayed here a few times on my favourites list. Amazing place, minutes away from the beach.
Hard to find house with pool and views, in quiet area.
Great apartment with sea and valley views in a nice part of Gozo.
Valletta is Malta’s capital city and is a popular destination for culture-seekers. It’s a historic city built by the Knights of Malta, with beautiful sights to enjoy and different types of museums to visit. To find a place here can be challenging if you’re on a budget, because inside Valletta’s walls you’ll mostly find expensive boutique hotels.
If you want to holiday in Valletta, you can find several options on Airbnb at a reasonable price instead. These are some of the best in town.
Studio apartment in superbly renovated old house on the eastern side of the capital. Well located!
Great example of value that you can find on Airbnb: A renovated townhouse in a quiet part of town.
Located in a quiet corner of Valletta but close to everything, this is apartment offers a great stay at a reasonable price.
Sliema is a popular town and tourist resort in the North of Malta that offers various hotels, restaurants and pubs. It’s also a busy side of Malta with high-rises along its coastline, and a few rocky beaches that are popular among locals.
Although it’ll be tempting to find an apartment or house with sea view here, the areas along the coast get very busy. The beauty of Airbnbs in Sliema is that you can find a traditional, renovate townhouse or apartment with colourful balconies in the much quieter heart of town, at a reasonable price per night.
Attractive mostly for couples and single travellers.
Beautifully designed apartment on the seafront with great views.
Nice 2-bedroom apartment close to the seafront and Ferries area.
Well furnished apartment within minutes from the sea.
Another busy seaside town, right next to Sliema, is St. Julian’s. Known for its three bays St. George’s Bay, Spinola Bay and Balluta Bay, its nightlife district Paceville is a big attraction.
With a mix of high-end luxury resorts, 4-star hotels and various restaurants, bars and pubs, it’s a popular option along holidaymakers. It’s probably not as attractive for culture-seekers looking for a place with easy connections for sightseeing, or looking for a typically Maltese place.
Attractive mostly for couples and single travellers looking for enjoyable nightlife.
Modern, luxurious studio apartment with views of Spinola Bay. Stylishly decorated, comfortable and great option overall.
Modern studio holiday let close to the seafront, close to amenities and public transport connections.
Well located apartment, between Spinola and Balluta Bay with sea view and close to amenities.
Mellieħa is Malta’s northernmost town and attractive to those wanting to be close to some of the best sandy beaches around.
Although visited by thousands of tourists a year, it doesn’t feel crowded during the high season and the village has retained its Maltese charm and life.
Perched high up on a hill, with the parish church as a focal point, there’s a good choice of apartments around here. They’re a great alternative compared to hotels when it comes to the average price per night. If you’re looking for a holiday house, however, you’ll find those pretty hard to find.
Attractive for people looking for a relatively quiet place close to the sandy beaches.
Modern, spacious 2-bedroom apartment with amazing views of the village and sea.
Apartment that’s part of a villa, with shared pool and stunning views
Great holiday let close to Malta’s largest sandy beach.
Buġibba is one of the most-advertised destinations for Malta holiday packages, and the mix of resorts and hotels you find here are generally more budget-friendly and family-oriented.
Although Buġibba (and its neighbouring towns of Qawra and St. Paul’s Bay) are a good base to explore the rest of Malta (and Gozo) from, the place itself isn’t typically Maltese, and very touristy.
Having a small bus terminus in the heart of town and boat trip and ferry options all within walking distance, you won’t have to worry about being able to get around easily.
Attractive for culture-seekers and holidaymakers on a budget. Also popular among families with children.
Well located, charming and comfortable apartment with one of the best sea views in the area.
Top floor apartment (penthouse) with sea views in a quieter part of Buġibba.
Well furnished apartment in Qawra (part of Buġibba).
Not to keen on tourist hotspots and prefer staying in locations where you can get a feel for daily life in Malta, its culture and its people? These are a few options to consider in the more quiet, rural villages.
Lovely apartment at great value in one of the nicest villages in Malta. Great host too!
Centrally located, large penthouse with panoramic views. 15 Mins by bus from Mdina.
Centrally located, renovated townhouse in the beautiful town of Naxxar
Newly designed apartment just across the Senglea Waterfront, part of the Three Cities.
Charming penthouse in a central but quiet location. Hard to find and good value.
Beautifully re-styled historical townhouse close to Mdina, in a more rural part of Malta.
