Things to Do Home Exchange in Malta
Homes near the attractions, sights, and activities that matter.
No listings matched yet in Malta — be the first host
Malta packs centuries of history into a sun-drenched archipelago small enough to explore thoroughly, yet dense with discovery. Wander the honey-coloured ramparts of Valletta, dive into crystalline Blue Lagoon waters, or descend into the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum's ancient chambers. The islands reward curiosity at every turn—medieval hilltop towns, baroque churches hiding Caravaggio masterpieces, and coastal paths that lead to hidden swimming coves. Evening brings harbour-side dining in Birgu and open-air cinema under the stars. For travellers who measure trips in experiences rather than distances, Malta delivers an astonishing density of wonder.
Why Malta works for things to do
Homes, not hotel rooms
Live in a real Malta home — kitchen, balcony, neighbourhood rhythm — instead of a generic hotel room.
Fair by design
1 credit = 1 night. Every home is worth the same. No bidding, no haggling, no price surges.
Curated for things to do
The page is tuned to show homes that genuinely fit this travel style.

Frequently asked questions
How does home exchange on SwappaHome work?
You list your home, then swap into work-ready places worldwide. Hosting earns 1 credit per night; spending a credit books 1 night anywhere in the network. No money changes hands between members. Join with LinkedIn — that's how we know you're a real person.
Is it safe to swap homes with strangers?
Everyone joins with LinkedIn, so you meet people with real names and professional profiles — not anonymous accounts. All conversations stay inside SwappaHome. Homes are reviewed before they go live, and after each stay guests and hosts leave mutual reviews. For extra peace of mind, we recommend a video call before you confirm a swap.
Do I need to swap directly with the same person?
No. SwappaHome uses a credit system, not direct 1-to-1 swaps. You can host a family from Berlin and use the credits you earn to stay with a completely different host in Tokyo six months later. It makes travel dates, destinations and group sizes much easier to match.
Can I join if I don't own a home?
Yes — you can earn credits by hosting in a spare room, a long-term rental (if your lease allows guests) or by gifting/receiving credits from other members. You can also buy a starter pack if you want to travel before you host. Listing your primary home is the most common path, but it's not the only one.
What are the must-see historical sites in Malta beyond the main tourist spots?
Venture to Mdina's silent streets at dusk when day-trippers leave and the medieval city becomes hauntingly beautiful. The Tarxien Temples predate Stonehenge and reveal Malta's neolithic sophistication, while the Three Cities—Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua—offer fortified waterfronts and narrow alleys steeped in Knights of Malta lore. Don't miss the Limestone Heritage museum in Siggiewi for insight into the golden stone that built these islands, or the Red Tower on Gozo for sweeping views few visitors climb to see.
