Why Malta

Concrete,
verifiable reasons.

Why more and more investors are looking at Malta for a property investment.

Favourable taxation

Unlike many European countries, Malta has no annual wealth tax on property. Your specific tax treatment depends on your personal situation, so it is always best to check with a tax adviser before deciding.

Close to the rest of Europe

About 1h25 by plane from Rome, with direct flights from many European airports, and in the same time zone as Italy and most of continental Europe.

Language and everyday life

The official languages are Maltese and English, understood by about 90% of the population. Italian is also widely spoken: settling in is easy.

European Union and eurozone

Malta has been an EU member since 2004 and in the eurozone since 2008: the euro, the same basic protections for EU citizens and no currency risk for euro investors.

Mediterranean climate all year round

Over 300 days of sunshine a year and mild winters make Malta pleasant to live in every season, not just during the tourist season.

A lively rental market

Tourism and international workers drive demand for both short- and long-term rentals, especially in the north of the island and around Sliema and St. Julian’s.

Invest with a method

First the goal, then the property.
