Property Management in Malta: Why CiaoStay Is the Smart Choice for Landlords in 2026
If you own a rental property in Malta, you already know how competitive and fast-moving the short-let and mid-term rental market has become. From St. Julian’s to Valletta, Sliema to Gozo, more landlords are turning to professional property management companies to maximize rental income and eliminate day-to-day stress.
Welcome to CiaoStay, Malta’s modern, tech-driven property management solution designed for landlords who want high returns, legally compliant operations, and zero hassle.
Why Property Management in Malta Is More Important Than Ever
The Maltese rental market has changed dramatically in the last few years:
Stricter regulations on short-let and holiday rentals
Higher expectations from international guests
Increased competition on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and Expedia
Rising operational costs for cleaning, check-in, maintenance and utilities
Managing your property yourself means constantly dealing with guest messages, cleaners, maintenance staff, dynamic pricing, regulatory requirements, invoices, and reviews.
And one mistake can cost you months of revenue.
This is where CiaoStay comes in.
