For such a tiny island, Malta has a huge appeal.

Situated in the depths of the Mediterranean between Sicily and the north coast of Africa, the country has a long and fraught history. You wouldn't guess it, but this island has actually been inhabited since 5900BC and over its lifetime has played host to a great number of civilisations - from the Greeks and Romans, to the Phoenicians and Carthiginians.

But today you'd be unlikely to find any warring nations on this small island. Instead, you're more likely to be faced with swathes of sunburnt tourists, since modern Malta is now a popular holiday destination! And it seems it's just as popular for work-ations, with 6 stunning coworking spaces spread across the island. Read to the end for more details on how to book.

Starting off this list we have Grand Central in Valletta. This funky space offers a bright coworking area with fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding skyline - definitely not your average office! And if you're looking to take a meeting, you can do so in their unique boardroom - a fully-equipped space situated in a medieval-looking stone alcove. This one will definitely wow your clients.

The historical harbour of Marsamxett is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll. Not quite as busy as its neighbour, the Grand Harbour, which sees plenty of sea traffic, Marsamxett is a calm spot where you can recollect your thoughts after a long day or during your lunch break, with it being located so closely to Grand Central cowork. 

Did you know, taking in the sea air can be good for your health? You might have heard of people moving to warmer climes for their health in Victorian times, but it wasn't just a silly fad. Studies have shown that breathing in sea air helps you to sleep better, relax easier and keep you feeling calmer! Plus, if you live by the seaside you're more likely to exercise.

This cosy space a little ways away in Marsa is perfect for anyone looking to generate or hone their business ideas. Inhabited by a range of entrepreneurs, innovators and even 'intrapreneurs' (your guess is as good as ours), working here will certainly have you feeling energised and ready to make your mark on the industry. 

Plus, they have all the necessary amenities - like fast wifi, lots of coworking space and disabled access ways - as well as some more unique features - such as parking, an outside terrace, and even pet-friendly status!

Malta's largest coworking community, SOHO's first office in Gzira, The Strand, is one you shouldn't miss. With trendy modern interiors and furnishings, this is the perfect space for younger workers out there (or anyone with a youthful spirit). 

We especially love their cool glass-walled meeting room spaces, which you can either leave open to enjoy the business of passers-by, or shut their handy curtain if you're hoping for a more private affair. Oh, and did we mention they have a beautiful outdoor terrace? Anyone fancy catching some sun after work?

Just a short journey away from SOHO you'll find Mint Cafe. Situated on the waterfront of Sliema, this sweet cafe is the perfect place to grab a bite. They strive to provide the finest fresh, seasonal produce, serving a range of savoury and sweet treats. Whether you want a light lunch of a cous cous salad, or perhaps a jam-packed sandwich, Mint will certainly have something to suit.

The second SOHO space in Gzira, Savoy Gardens maintains that same trendy feel that The Strand has honed. Though this space is much more light and airy, with plenty of natural light able to pour in from the large windows that connect the coworking space to the sunny outside views. 

Savoy Gardens might also be your perfect fit if you work in finance or technology. The office is closely located to several businesses in the commercial district, including those in gaming, finance, blockchain and AI.

Trying a new activity isn't only a fun thing to do - it's important for our work lives too. Research show that people who routinely try new things have more chance to grow as a person, are more fulfilled and less bored. Now this might seem like a long-winded way of telling you to give the activities at Neptunes Waterpolo a go, but trust us, you won't regret it. 

Located on the waterfront of Saint Julian's Bay (not far from Gzira), Neptunes has a long history on the island, being established in 1929. While waterpolo is in the name, it's not their only game - you can also learn to scuba dive, go swimming or just kick back in their gym if you prefer to stay on land.

Not far from Gzira you'll find The Hub, in San Gwann. Spread over five floors of offices, this space includes a coworking area, recreational lounge, meeting room, kitchenettes, and a roof terrace. You'll truly be spoilt for choice. 

All their spaces have been furnished to a high (and fun) standard, with plenty of pops of bright colour throughout to keep you feeling alert. We especially love the outside canopy area that adjoins the coworking lounge. The perfect place to put your feet up after a long meeting.

The newest SOHO offering, St Julian's (located in Saint Julian's, of course) is the swankiest yet. Following the latest design trends, this space will feel like an urban jungle, with plenty of natural woods and dark greens to go round.

As well as coworking facilities, they also offer a well-equipped kitchen, an in-house bar, an internal yard space and a roof-top terrace. Well, you'll certainly know where to find us next time we're in town.

If you've been inspired to head out to Malta on your next work-ation, you'll probably need somewhere to stay, right? Luckily, be.HOTEL in Saint Julian's is the perfect lowkey venue for your trip. Combining urban comfort with practical amenities, their affordable rooms cater to singles, couples, and families. You can also enjoy their luxury facilities, like their heated rooftop pool, on-site restaurant, and amusement arcade.
