Which Malta area is right for you?
The remote worker dilemma: Malta's north offers space and scenery with easy mainland access; Gozo offers even more tranquillity and lower cost at the price of a ferry.
Our Verdict
Choose Mellieha for north Malta's best beaches and quality of life without a ferry dependency. Choose Gozo if you want maximum value, the slowest pace of life in Malta, and don't mind the ferry for mainland visits.
