Nomad community
Growing
Valletta trades Sliema's modern seafront convenience for genuine Baroque architecture and sea views from nearly every street — Malta's actual capital, and the more soulful, less nomad-saturated base on the island. HUB Malta anchors a smaller but more community-oriented coworking scene here.
Why nomads love it
- Genuine Baroque capital architecture, quieter and more atmospheric than Sliema
- HUB Malta anchors a tight-knit, community-oriented coworking scene
- Same Nomad Residence Permit and 10% tax treatment as the rest of Malta
Watch out for
- Older limestone buildings aren't all well-wired — a backup hotspot is worth having
- Quieter nightlife and social scene than Sliema or St Julian's
