Offices with outdoor space in Malta
Offices with outdoor space in Malta give teams fresh air, sunlight, and practical spill‑over zones for calls, stand‑ups, or client time. This category curates workspaces that pair strong indoor specs with usable balconies, gardens, and terraces—so the outdoor area adds real value, not just a photo backdrop.
What counts as outdoor space (and what it’s best for)
Balconies
Compact and convenient. Best for quick calls, micro‑breaks, or a designated smoking area. Prioritise depth (not just width), privacy screening, and compliant balustrades. Where balcony use is central to your brief, compare options in prime zones such as Sliema office space and amenity‑rich Gżira offices, and shortlist units in our terrace and rooftop features.
Front gardens & backyards
Common with ground‑floor units and villa conversions. Useful for bike parking, outdoor coffee points, or one‑to‑ones. Villas often combine multiple external areas—ground‑level terraces, mid‑floor balconies, setback (receded) terraces, and a roof deck—giving flexibility for teams and client hospitality. Explore marina‑side Ta’ Xbiex offices and villa conversions within our offices for rent feed.
Mid‑floor terraces
Typically larger than balconies and easier to shade from summer sun or wind. Good for daily breaks, informal client time, and small team huddles. Look for external power, evening lighting, and outdoor Wi‑Fi if you plan to work there meaningfully. See live examples under terrace‑equipped offices.
Penthouse terraces
High‑impact settings with views—ideal for client hospitality or team events. Check load capacity for furniture and crowds, catering access, lift routes, and neighbour policies.
Rooftop terraces & amenity decks
Large “third spaces” suited to town halls, launches, or wellness sessions. A handful of business centres in Malta pair rooftop terraces with pools and fitness amenities—useful for employer branding and client events. Compare properties on business centres in Malta and cross‑filter with rooftop options.
Match the space to the use‑case
- Smoking / quick breaks: small balcony or Juliet‑depth balcony—low footprint, minimal upkeep.
- Everyday recreation & wellbeing: mid‑floor terrace with shade, seating, and outdoor Wi‑Fi for lunch breaks and stand‑ups.
- Client hospitality & brand moments: penthouse or rooftop with views; confirm event permissions and after‑hours noise rules.
- Work overflow: stable Wi‑Fi, weather protection, and power points if you plan to hold workshops, huddles, or quiet‑focus tasks outdoors.
- Occasional large events: you may not need a huge terrace year‑round. Some buildings rent expansive decks to tenants—and sometimes to non‑tenants—on a per‑event basis. Ask about availability, pricing, and service restrictions.
Location & lifestyle: where an outdoor area works hardest
Sliema — Walkable, amenity‑dense, and coastal. A smart choice if team lifestyle matters: cafés, gyms, and the seafront promenade support natural breaks. Shortlist via Sliema office space, pair with our seafront offices, and skim this guide to seafront offices. As a pragmatic alternative, if large private terraces are occasional‑use only, consider Sliema’s coastline as your “outsourced outdoors”—ideal from late spring to early autumn.
Ta’ Xbiex — Marina views and corporate neighbours make terraces valuable for client‑facing teams. Start at the Ta’ Xbiex offices hub and look for units combining private terraces with boardroom‑ready layouts.
Gżira — Central, well‑priced, and improving rapidly. Compare amenity‑rich properties around the Strand via Gżira offices, then filter for outdoor features.
St Julian’s / Portomaso — For brand prestige and hospitality access, larger terraces and tower floors stand out. Explore Portomaso office space and nearby options along the coast.

Event terraces: own vs hire when needed
A crucial question for many teams: do you need a large outdoor area all year? If the answer is “only monthly” (for all‑hands, launches, or client entertainment), weigh two routes:
- Lease a terrace you’ll use weekly—worth it when outdoor space supports daily culture, hybrid meetings, and informal client time.
- Hire when needed—some business centres offer very large terraces for event hire to tenants and, in some cases, to non‑tenants. Confirm lead times, guest caps, sound policies, and cleaning/catering requirements up front.
For offices with shared amenity decks and occasional‑hire options, start with the Business Centres in Malta overview.
Practical checklist before you sign
- Orientation & wind: afternoon sun and north‑westerlies drive shade and screening needs.
- Safety & compliance: balustrade height, anti‑slip surfaces, drainage, and structural load (kPa) for furniture and crowds.
- Power, data & lighting: outdoor sockets, reliable Wi‑Fi, and evening lighting for year‑round use.
- Exclusive vs shared: private terraces keep scheduling simple; shared decks require clear booking protocols.
- Fit‑out permissions: umbrellas, shade sails, planters, or branding may need building approval.
- Access & logistics: step‑free routes, lift size, and catering access matter for events.
- Noise & neighbours: set expectations on amplified sound and cut‑off times.
Final word
When shortlisting offices with outdoor space in Malta, think fitness‑for‑purpose first. A well‑oriented mid‑floor terrace with shade, power, and Wi‑Fi can beat a larger but impractical roof deck. If big‑event capacity is only a monthly need, use event‑hire terraces—and consider coastal localities like Sliema where the seafront effectively extends your outdoor options. Browse the full pipeline via offices for rent in Malta and filter by outdoor space, terrace, rooftop, and seafront to find a configuration that works week in, week out.
