Atlas Malta Accommodation – What You Need to Know [FAQ]

When studying abroad, your accommodation is just as important as your course. At Atlas Language School, we understand how vital it is for students to have a safe, comfortable, and social place to live — which is why we offer several student housing options, including our popular Atlas Student Apartments.

We offer three accommodation options in Malta:

Host Family (Homestay- during your studies, you will live with a host family, giving you the opportunity to experience their lifestyle, culture, and customs firsthand).
Own Accommodation (remember to arrange it in advance, especially during the summer season, as prices can be very high and the availability of accommodation in the area can be very limited).
Atlas Student Apartments– our most popular student housing option
