Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LuminaryGozo is Malta’s smaller, quieter and greener sister island and offers a wonderful escape in an enchanting unspoilt sunshine destination. Frequent ferry services from Cirkewwa Port on the North side of Malta and fast boats from Malta’s capital city, Valetta will take you across to this natural, unhurried oasis.
Villa Luminary is in a lovely spot close to the charming village of Sannat which is set within an area of natural beauty and is the gateway to the Ta’ Cenc plateau and Cliffs which is Gozo’s primary birding site. There are a few local bars and restaurants to enjoy and the delights of Victoria the capital City are only a short drive away.
The Island is just 26 square miles and very easy to drive around with hardly any traffic. Gozo is blessed with some beautiful sandy beaches and the Blue Flag certified Ramla Bay is the largest sandy beach located on the north side of the Island. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, the long, wide beach has a reddish hue next to shallow clear waters and is a popular destination for families, locals and snorkelers.
Gozo is said to have been the home to Calypso the nymph from Omer’s Odyssey and is a Mystical and magical Island to explore.
A magical attraction is Dwejra Bay, with its dramatic coastal formations and sea spilling over the rocks. Here you can swim in the stunning deep sea of the bay, in the calm shallows of the inland sea or in the foamy waters around the Blue Hole – one of Gozo’s top dive-sites. Other attractions include Fungus Rock, a 60 metre high rock feature and Dwejra Tower a 16th Century watchtower that is open to the public to explore.
The heart of Gozo lies at Citadel in Victoria the capital city. The ancient fortified town has witnessed many historical moments yet has stood the test of time and is rich in history with its own cathedral, dungeons, battlements and museums to visit. Set on one of the most central hilltops on the island you will find amazing views in all directions.
The Fortress was constructed in the 15th century and settlements have been present on the hill since the Neolithic period.
Today there is a good choice of bars and restaurants and shoppers can checkout Gozo’s only shopping Mall and daily market which is a great spot for picking up fresh local produce. Don’t leave without sampling pastizzi, Malta’s best-loved snack!
Eating out in Gozo is a real treat and there are delightful trattorias and cafes in Victoria.
Elsewhere, sample beautiful seafood restaurants in Xlendi Bay and fine dining at Mgarr Harbour.
To find the perfect gift, Ta’Dbiegi Crafts village in Gharb showcases local artists at work manufacturing lace, silver, knitwear, art, leather and glass which can be purchased at affordable prices.
Also worth a visit is Ta’Mena in Xaghra which produces DOK wines, virgin olive oil, sweet tomato paste, Jams, liqueurs and offers food tastings and tours of the vineyards, a delightful way to spend an afternoon!
