Atlas Language School in Malta is located in Pembroke, a very small town of around 2.3 sq km in the northern region of Malta. It is known as one of the newest localities in Malta. Pembroke used to be a British military base from the 1850s until 1979, so you can still see some remains of its British influence today.

The area is quiet, safe, and close to beautiful natural spaces such as the Pembroke Natura 2000 Site, where you can go for a walk, have lunch by the rocky beach, or simply enjoy the weather. It is also an amazing place to watch the sunset, so we highly recommend visiting this part of Pembroke.
