Travel Adapter for Malta: Do You Need One? (Cyprus → Malta)No Adapter Needed

If you're heading to Malta from Cyprus, sorting out the power situation is one of the easiest pre-trip wins. Below you'll find the plug types, voltage, and frequency used in Malta, whether you need an adapter, and which devices are safe to plug in.

Do you need a travel adapter for Malta?

Good news: you generally don't need a plug adapter. Both Cyprus and Malta use Type G outlets, so your existing plugs should fit Malta's sockets directly. A universal adapter is still worth keeping in your bag as a backup for future trips.

What plugs and sockets does Malta use?

Malta uses the following power plug: Type G: three rectangular pins with a built-in fuse, the British/Irish plug. Outlets run at 230V and 50Hz. Since Cyprus also uses Type G, your plugs already match.

Voltage and frequency in Malta

Malta runs on 230V at 50Hz, the same as Cyprus (230V, 50Hz). That means voltage isn't a concern here, since your appliances won't be over- or under-powered, so no voltage converter is needed.

Will your devices work in Malta?

Phones, tablets, laptops, and camera chargers are nearly always dual-voltage (100-240V), so they work in Malta with just your existing plug, and no converter is required. Even heat-based appliances like hair dryers and straighteners should run fine given the matching 230V supply, though it's always worth a quick label check.

What travel adapter should you buy for Malta?

Because Cyprus and Malta share Type G outlets, you don't need a special adapter for this trip. A universal travel adapter is still a smart, inexpensive backup if you plan to travel elsewhere, and the better ones add USB-C fast charging to free up your charger.

Tips for charging your devices in Malta

Pack at least one adapter per traveler, and consider a small power strip from home, which turns a single Malta outlet into several. Ordering online before you fly is almost always cheaper than airport kiosks.
