Why Moving to Malta Could Be Your Best Decision Yet
If you’re considering a career move, Malta offers a unique blend of opportunity, lifestyle, and culture. Here’s why joining eCabs Technologies on this Mediterranean gem might just be the perfect choice for you.
Glorious weather
Malta is famous for its stunning weather. With an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, you’ll enjoy hot summers and mild winters. This means you can swim in the Mediterranean Sea—or an outdoor pool—nearly year-round, especially from early April to late October.
Outdoor activities and al fresco dining are part of everyday life, making it easy to embrace an active, sun-filled lifestyle.
Multilingual culture
Malta is a bilingual country, with Maltese and English as its official languages. Almost everyone speaks English fluently, ensuring a smooth transition for work and everyday interactions. Many Maltese also understand and speak Italian, adding another layer of linguistic accessibility.
If you’re comfortable with English, you’ll find navigating both your personal and professional life a breeze in Malta.
Heritage at your doorstep
Beyond the incredible weather, Malta boasts a rich history that stretches back to the Neolithic period. Archaeological sites, museums, and cultural landmarks are scattered across the islands.
In locations like Valletta, Mdina (see photo), the Three Cities, and Gozo, you can feel history come alive. Malta also has a thriving arts, music, and theater scene, with festivals and events happening year-round. Add to that the colorful village festas, and you’ll never run out of cultural experiences.
A paradise for sports lovers
Whether you’re into tennis, football, running, or hitting the gym, Malta has something for every sports enthusiast. Gyms are abundant, and sports complexes offer facilities for tennis, padel, football, and even golf.
Prefer outdoor adventures? The islands are a haven for runners, hikers, abseilers, cyclists, and more. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to stay active, both indoors and out.
Global connections
Malta’s strategic location places you at the heart of the Euro-Mediterranean region, offering seamless connectivity to Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The Malta International Airport connects you to countless destinations, with most European cities just a short flight away—perfect for weekend getaways or business travel.
Beyond air travel, Malta’s proximity to the Mediterranean opens up even more possibilities. Sicily is just a ferry ride away, and the wider region is easily accessible, making Malta an ideal base for exploring the cultural and economic hubs of the Mediterranean and beyond.
With its unparalleled access to such a dynamic and diverse region, Malta truly positions you at the crossroads of opportunity.
A reality check, please!
No place is perfect, and Malta has its challenges. The summer heat, while beloved by many, can be intense for those unused to high temperatures. Investing in air conditioning is essential for staying comfortable during humid nights, especially if you’ll be working from home.
Malta’s high car-to-person ratio can lead to traffic congestion during peak hours. Noise pollution is also a reality in busier areas, so noise-cancelling headphones might become your best friend.
And while Malta’s laid-back lifestyle is part of its charm, bureaucracy can sometimes be slow. Sorting out documents may take longer than expected—but our exceptional HR team is here to help smooth the process.
All in all, however, the pluses far outweigh the minuses, otherwise we surely would not have more than 22 nationalities working in our eCabs Technologies team!
