What a place!, I planned to visit Malta for 10 days. Then I heard about the house, after the first visit I decided to stay one month there, because why not? to Live and work in that awesome community. It was more than a place to stay, it was the perfect place for life balance, everyone there has a unique talent. I got inspired by the great people there and shared a lost of activities like cooking, Yoga, workout, hiking and a new ways to start your own business. Will definitely recommend it for everybody, specially digital nomads. Last but not least, Thank you Matt and Ola for creating such a good community 😍
Highly recommend if you're a digital nomad or just looking for somewhere to live while remote working and doing some traveling. Also great for solo travelers as well. It's an instant built in community with all the amenities! There are so many organized activities that there's never a dull moment. Made some great friends while here. It made my visit to Malta very memorable. Might book another month for next year 🥳
Stop searching for your next Co living and book here! We loved the fact that the enviroment was so warm and natural. It's like a ready made home and community you can just walk into and be a part of. Everything was is good condition and working order, there were a couple of issues that come with a huge property of this nature, but as soon as it was raised the manager acted promptly to resolve them. The community whatsapp group where everyone arranged activities was especially cool, and very active. Great stay. Highly recommend!
Evolve is an amazing community that I would recommend to anyone looking to meet new people and explore Malta. I've stayed there twice now and have met so many wonderful people from all over the world. The house is great, the rooms are big, and the whole place is kept well stocked and clean. Matt and Ola are great hosts and very welcoming. If you're considering staying there you definitely should!
I absolutely love this community, the people, same thinking type of people, good vibes, good tribe. There are always some activities to socialize together, either free or with a fee. Location is just perfect to me, in the quiet district of San Gwann, 25 min walk from St Julians or Paceville (if you are the type to party hard), the Villa is huge and gorgeous (any influencer or photographer here?), and the place is always clean. I met great and lovely people there. So grateful for that 🫶🏻
I originally booked to stay at Evolve for a month and ended up staying 13 months! This was my first coliving experience and exceeded my expectations. It was exactly what I needed for moving to a new country without knowing anyone, and I would recommend this place to anyone else doing the same. The community is truly amazing. Everyone is so warm, friendly, and welcoming - within a week, it felt like I was part of a family. Some people stayed more long term like me, while others stayed just a month or two, which was a good mix. Many also returned because they enjoyed it so much the first time round. The vibe changes when people come and go but there was never a bad group. I've made lasting friendships and I really can't emphasize enough how incredible this experience has been because of the people. The location is great, mid way between Sliema and St Julians. You can walk 20ish minutes downhill to either if it's not the height of summer (note: uphill on the way back!). San Gwann is quiet and there are plenty of shops/cafes around, including supermarkets and grocery stores. There are several bus stops nearby. Bolt/Uber is good value and can even be cheaper than buses if you're in a big group. Cleaners clean the common areas 6 days a week, which is definitely necessary in a house of this size and with so many people. Personally, one thing I really appreciated was that I became a cat mom during my stay and Matt and Ola supported that. To give a well-rounded review, I also need to be honest about the negatives - nowhere is perfect. Things break a lot: dishwashers, laundry facilities, Internet, vaccuum cleaners, pool filter, jacuzzi, coffee machine, fireplace, air conditioners, electricity outages, rain through the windows... sometimes it felt like as soon as one thing is fixed, it sets something else off. This isn't Matt and Ola's fault - some of this is just how things in Malta are built and getting good labour to properly fix the issues is harder than you think, however it was frustrating over time. For internet, it's best to come with your own backup or get a good data package, just in case. Noise: the way the house is built means that noise really travels. The doors can slam and get really noisy, especially when it's windy. Also, beds so squeaky. So. Squeaky. Mosquitos: they love me; they also love the house. Winter is fine, but from May-November they are around. If you're prone to bites, make sure you keep your room windows and doors closed, especially early morning and evening/night, and pick up spray, burners, candles, plug-ins etc. Mosquito nets would be a great upgrade. Having experienced a full year, I can say that it's a very different experience in the winter vs summer but both were great and had their benefits. Summer was all about bbqs, pool dips, dancing on the roof, late night drinks etc. Winter was quieter with cozy movie nights, more shared meals, game nights, activities like lazer tag and escape rooms, and hiking on the weekends. Overall, I loved my stay at Evolve. I'll cherish the memories and friendships made, keep in touch, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
