Two terraces, a penthouse, and a rent that starts with a one. Somebody’s going to be very pleased with themselves.
Let’s be direct about what makes this one interesting: €1,350 buys you a penthouse in Marsaskala with outdoor space on both sides, and that combination simply does not exist in the north of the island at this price. Marsaskala is Malta’s quiet arbitrage — the sea, the promenade, the bays, a proper town that runs on its own rhythm rather than on tourism — and the money you save on the postcode goes straight into the square metres.
The front terrace is the centrepiece. It’s a genuinely large outdoor room, laid in pale timber-effect tiles, with a deep wicker corner sofa at one end and a full dining table and chairs at the other — all of it included. Wide sliding doors connect it straight to the living room, so in practice the apartment doubles in size from April through October. The back terrace is a second, separate outdoor space with its own furniture and a BBQ area, tucked up among the rooftops.
Inside, the whole floor is open-plan and unusually bright, finished in pale wood-effect tiles with bursts of yellow on the walls and a wall of glass at the terrace end. The living area runs to a dining table for six under three pendant lamps, and there’s a pellet stove built into the feature wall — which, in a country where most apartments have no heating at all, quietly transforms January and February.
The kitchen sits in the same open run: a full L-shaped layout in light timber and grey with yellow accent units, generous counter space, integrated oven and hob, extractor, and a dishwasher.
Both bedrooms are proper doubles with fitted wardrobes and air-conditioning — one with its own desk and study corner, so working from home doesn’t mean working from the dining table. The bathroom is a striking recent finish in black and white, with a large walk-in shower, wall-hung vanity and a big backlit mirror; there’s a second bathroom besides.
The apartment is fully air-conditioned throughout and comes furnished and ready to move into.
Available from 20 October 2026, and offered as a long let on standard Malta residential lease terms — we’ll take you through the contract properly before anything is signed.
Who this is for: a couple or small family who want outdoor space and a penthouse feel without the northern price tag, or two people sharing who’d each like a real bedroom and somewhere to sit outside at the end of the day.
