How Malta works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Malta, Valletta leads at 70/100 — cost 56, climate 86, safety 76; warmest-month highs around 26.7°C and coldest-month lows near 12.8°C give you a feel for the seasons. Valletta is the pure-budget play at cost 56/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Malta before booking anything long-term.
