Location

The small village of Kercem is excellently located in the centre of the island, just a short walk away from the bustling town of Victoria which lies beneath Gozo’s major landmark; the Citadel.

There are some great hikes on Gozo that let you see the peaceful countryside, peppered with remarkable geological features begging to be explored. Kercem is said to be one of the most picturesque parts of Gozo, sitting between Lunzjata Valley and three green hills, stretching as far as the Xlendi cliffs. Relish in nature at Lunzjata valley. This lush valley in Kerċem is one of the most picturesque in Gozo. It is one of the few places on the island that has a continuous supply of water for the surrounding agriculture, while aqueducts line the valley where you can enjoy a walk to the sound of trickling water. Kercem offers easy access to some of Gozo’s best country walks and cycling, visitors can easily reach the village of San Lawrenz or head down to Dwejra Bay. Alternatively, hop in the car and explore a different part of Gozo. Enjoy the hike from Xaghra to Rambla Bay or challenge yourselves and hike up to the Sanap Cliffs. At the end of the day, each hike is bound to reward you with captivating views. Afterwards, find a spot to eat some delicious, fresh Gozitan food. The locals are well known for their incredible hospitality, encouraging visitors to come back time and time again.

If you are on the hunt for the ultimate cultural activity, be sure to stay at Kercem Townhouse in July. Kercem hosts a village festa in July and a traditional fair held in the months of April to May. Alternatively, the adventurers among you will enjoy visiting On the Ghar Ilma and the Il-Mixta caves, found on the outskirts of Kercem.

Xlendi Bay is just under 3 km away and has become a popular spot for swimming and snorkelling. This sandy beach is perfect for children with its calm, shallow waters. For the more adventurous, visitors enjoy snorkelling in the deeper water off the long stretch of rocks bordering the beach. It also makes a fantastic diving site, even for beginners! For the adrenaline junkies, mountain biking, kayaking, horse riding and clifftop hiking are all opportunities for active visitors.

With natural wonders, ancient ruins and delicious food, there is something for every guest – it truly is the perfect holiday destination!

Getting to and around

Experience the diverse coastline, rich history and stunning landscapes of this beautiful island, often referred to as the quieter little sister of Malta. Gozo is reached by ferry from Cirkewwa, the northernmost point of Malta, or from Valletta’s port on a highspeed ferry service to Mgarr.

Although Gozo is a small island, there is so much to see and do whether you are seeking sunny beaches and snorkelling spots or hoping to learn about Gozo’s cultural heritage and rich history. The gastronomic scene will also excite you with a wealth of delicious local products. Try the traditional ftira usually baked in a wood-fired oven, served with Gozitan cheese or anchovies, possibly accompanied by a glass of wine produced from vines by the sea or craft beer inspired by the island.

Crystal-clear water will draw you to Gozo’s array of beaches from the wild yet popular Ramla Bay, so loved for its red-hued sand and natural surroundings, to the remote gorge at Wied il-Ghasri reached via a staircase cut into the cliffs. What’s more, the island attracts divers from across the world who come to experience some of Europe’s finest diving sites.

Outdoor adventurists will adore the range of cycling and biking trails, walking paths, horse-riding opportunities and watersports. Meanwhile, boat trips allow you to appreciate Gozo from a different point of view and visit yet more spectacular attractions including the little island of Comino and its Blue Lagoon.

Step back in time as you explore the fortified city, Cittadella, with its baroque cathedral and museums, before heading to the pre-historic Ġgantija Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. To soak up yet more culture, spend time in the historic village of Xewkija with its magnificent limestone church and iconic dome.

When planning your luxury getaway on the island, bear in mind that Gozo is a delightful destination to enjoy throughout the seasons. Bask in the mild winter sunshine, hike through the spring flowers, embrace vibrant summer festivities or swim in the warm turquoise sea as autumn gently approaches.
