Sliema is Malta's commercial seafront — the most English-speaking nomad base in the Mediterranean (Malta was a British colony until 1964), with the densest concentration of coworking, cafes, and modern apartments on the island. The promenade walks all the way to St Julian's (next-door, denser, more nightlife) and Valletta across the harbor (15-min ferry). Malta's Nomad Residence Permit (EUR 2,700/mo income, 1-year renewable, 10% flat tax) is the formal route — EU Schengen access included. The structural draws: English as official language alongside Maltese, year-round mild weather (15-30°C range), and EU paperwork. The structural friction is small size — you'll have seen everything in a month.
