Region
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.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith its private swimming pool and idyllic setting, Villa Cassar is sure to delight visitors of all ages!

Later on, the gas barbecue on the terrace is ideal for whipping up a family feast, which everyone can enjoy al fresco as the sun begins to set over the island!
Older children and teenagers will have a ball visiting the valley known as Wied il-Ghasri, a coastal treasure situated between high cliffs, with crystalline waters and plenty of walking trails for active families to enjoy. Snorkelling is another popular activity here, thanks to the clear and calm waters of the bay. Roughly ten minutes away from Gharb by car, the striking red and gold shores of Ramla Bay offer plenty of family-friendly watersports activities, with kayaking and windsurfing facilities on offer.
The rustic ambience of the village of Gharb is ideal for families seeking quality time together amidst the spectacular natural beauty of Gozo.
