Expect €700–€1,000/month for a one-bedroom outside the centre, €1,000–€1,600 in Sliema, St Julian’s or Gzira, and €1,200–€2,500 for two-to-three-bedroom apartments in prime areas. Penthouses command a premium.

Most rental apartments in Malta are fully furnished, including appliances. Semi-furnished and unfurnished options exist and can often be negotiated with the landlord.

On long lets, water, electricity and internet are usually paid on top of rent. On short lets, bills are typically included in the quoted price.

Sliema, St Julian’s, Gzira, Msida and Swieqi are the most popular expat areas thanks to seafront living, offices, schools and nightlife — all areas where QuickLets has daily new listings.
