Workation in Malabo: the essentials
Malabo lies on the north shore of Bioko, a volcanic island in the Gulf of Guinea, and it is the oldest city in Equatorial Guinea, with about 297,000 people in 2018. It held the title of capital until Ciudad de la Paz on the mainland took over in 2026. Spanish colonial streets and the cathedral of Santa Isabel survive in the centre, while oil and gas money built the newer districts to the west. Spanish is official and Pichinglis is widely used. Malabo International Airport is about 9 km away. Equatorial Guinea remains tightly controlled, with few independent travellers, and getting a visa takes planning.
