Malta has earned a prestigious spot among the top ten countries in the world to retire in 2025, according to an international survey published by CEOWORLD magazine. The global ranking, which assessed 80 countries, placed Malta eighth, with a score of 63.2 out of 100.
This recognition reinforces Malta’s growing appeal as a retirement destination, offering retirees a safe, welcoming, and peaceful environment to enjoy life after work.
The survey drew on the opinions of 126,000 participants worldwide and evaluated countries based on a range of key criteria: political and economic stability, healthcare access, infrastructure, tax system, cost of living, climate, and the overall sense of community.
Malta stood out for its Mediterranean lifestyle, excellent public safety, and high level of English proficiency, which adds to its accessibility for international retirees. The island’s sunny climate, rich culture, and vibrant yet laid-back atmosphere makes it a comfortable and attractive place to settle down.
Often recognised as a popular holiday destination, Malta’s latest ranking cements its reputation as more than just a tourist hotspot. It is increasingly seen as a long-term haven for those seeking a high quality of life, stable governance, and a strong social fabric in retirement.
With its blend of tradition and modern convenience, Malta continues to shine as a top choice for retirement living on the global stage.
