Where to buy a yoga mat in Malta

Go to Decathlon or Eurosport if you want a mat this week. Between them they cover nearly every budget, and both offer free collection, so you avoid paying to have one delivered. If you would like advice from a yoga teacher with your purchase, two providers in our directory also sell mats.

We could not find a dedicated yoga shop in Malta, so these are the options we could verify. We checked prices online on 2 November 2026. We have not handled these mats, and we earn nothing from these links. This page covers where to buy. For help choosing between materials and brands, read our guide to the best yoga mats.

Where can you buy a yoga mat in Malta?

Decathlon has the widest range we found, including a 1.3mm travel mat and an XL mat measuring 200cm by 75cm, which is useful if you are tall. Its delivery page gives free delivery over €100 and charges of €4 to €10 below that, based on weight, so a single mat is normally better collected. Click and Collect is free, and orders placed before 17:00 can usually be picked up the same day. Decathlon’s site also lists a second store at San Ġorġ, but its pages do not agree on that store’s status, so ring before going. The return policy gives you 365 days, as long as the mat has its original packaging and labels.

Eurosport is the handiest choice in Gozo, and for many people in Mosta. Its product pages give free delivery over €50 in Malta and Gozo, and free pickup at any order value, though processing can take up to five working days. The category page does not show stock, and individual mat pages we opened, such as the Tunturi 8mm mat, were marked out of stock. Open the product page before you plan a trip.

Studio shops give you something the chains cannot: a teacher who knows how you practise. Lotus Room says it sells various colours of mat at the centre, and asks students to bring their own anyway, so you can buy one and use it straight away. PowerYogaWorld has an online shop, but stock is not shown and the studio has been placed in more than one location, so contact it before setting off.

What should you pay for a yoga mat in Malta?

Listed prices and sale prices change often. Colour can matter too: at Decathlon, one 8mm colour was listed for less than the others.

Be careful with very thick mats. Eurosport’s 15mm NBR fitness mat at €27 will feel lovely on a tiled floor, but that much foam is unstable in standing poses. It suits floor exercises better than a class with balances in it.

Which mat copes with Maltese heat and sweat?

Summer here is what separates mats. Even a gentle evening class can leave your hands wet, and few providers say whether their rooms are air-conditioned. Three things help on a budget:

• Choose a surface you can wipe. A closed-cell mat keeps sweat on the surface, which suits humid flats, because it dries faster than an open-cell one. Decathlon’s and Eurosport’s listings do not always give the material or cell structure, so check the product page or ask.
• Add a towel before you upgrade. Eurosport lists a Tunturi yoga towel with carry bag at €22, and Decathlon’s non-slip yoga towels run from €11.99 to €24.99. A €25 mat with a towel will often serve you better in August than a pricier mat on its own, and it can go in the wash.
• Think about the bus. If you carry your mat from Mosta to Sliema in July, weight matters more than a few extra millimetres. An 8mm mat is comfortable on stone floors at home, but it is bulkier to carry.

If you mostly practise at the seaside, buy cheaply. Salt, sand and rock are hard on a mat, so save the good one for indoors. Our guide on how to clean a yoga mat covers what to do after a beach class.

Do you need to buy a mat at all?

It depends where you go, and checking could save you the money. Island Yoga includes Manduka mats with a booking, Zen Yoga Studio in Mellieħa has Manduka mats, and Ananda Marga in Gżira and Chrysalis Studio in Gozo provide them. Single passes at Momos HotYoga Malta include a mat, and Tropical Temple provides mats for hot classes, so a towel may be all you need for heated yoga.

You will want your own for Lotus Room and Echoes of Calm at heritage sites. Malta Yoga in Mellieħa and Yoga Malta studio on Manoel Island ask you to bring a mat, or a towel at a pinch. Practising at home on tiles is also a good reason to own one. Our what to bring guide has the full list.

Can you order a yoga mat online to Malta?

Yes, but read the shipping terms closely, because a mat is heavy and Malta is an island.

• Check the word “mainland”. Manduka’s EU store offers free shipping from €150 to mainland EU destinations only, and it adds a fee for islands, shown once you enter your address. Malta is not named on that page, so confirm it at checkout.
• Stay inside the EU if you can. Your Europe warns that VAT and customs duty are due on goods bought online from outside the EU, which now includes the UK. A cheap-looking mat can stop being cheap on arrival.
• Look at who is sending it. Price comparison site Skroutz shows Malta prices for many mats, but several listings ship from Greece and add a charge, as much as €14 on some. That can double the price of a budget mat, so buying it locally may work out cheaper.
• Price the return. Posting a 3kg mat back to the mainland can cost a fair part of what you paid for it. Buying in Malta avoids that, and it is a good reason to start locally.

How do you buy the right mat first time?

Try before you spend. If you go to Island Yoga or Zen Yoga Studio, you can practise on a Manduka for the price of a class. Ask your teacher what they would buy for your style, since a hot yoga regular and a yin student want different things. Unroll a mat in the shop too, if you can, and press your hand down at an angle to feel the grip.

Then look after it, because damp can do as much harm to a mat in Malta as regular use. The cleaning guide explains how to dry and store one in a humid flat. If a mat turns out to be the easy part and you are wondering about the rest, our page on yoga props in Malta covers blocks, straps and bolsters.
