As Malta’s tourism grows, more travelers are choosing short-term rentals (STRs) like holiday apartments over hotels. STRs, fueled by platforms such as Airbnb, now require an estimated 4.7 million tourists annually to maintain 80% occupancy, according the Malta Chamber. This reflects a shift in traveler preferences for flexible and cost-effective options. Whether it’s for a holiday, a business trip, or a temporary relocation, short-term rentals offer flexibility and comfort. Luxfair Group recognises this trend and is actively developing properties that cater to this booming market.

Why Short-Term Rentals are Booming

Short-term rentals offer several advantages over hotels. Guests enjoy more space, privacy, and the feel of a home away from home. This makes apartments particularly appealing to families, digital nomads, and long-term tourists who want to experience Malta at their own pace.

At the same time, property owners benefit from higher rental yields compared to traditional long-term leases. With platforms like Airbnb making it easier to list and manage properties, investing in short-term rentals has never been more accessible.

Key Benefits for Property Investors

• High Occupancy Rates: Malta’s year-round tourism means a steady flow of potential tenants, especially in popular areas like Valletta, Sliema, and St. Julian’s.
• Flexibility: Owners can switch between short-term and long-term rentals, depending on demand, allowing them to maximise profits.
• Low Maintenance: Unlike long-term rentals, short-term tenants are less likely to cause wear and tear on a property, especially if you’re using a reliable property management service.
