Ramla Beach, Malta

Ramla Bay

This golden stretch of sand encircled by lush green hills and engulfed by turquoise waters is a great spot to start your day in a relaxing way. If the water is calm enough, you can begin with a dip in the Mediterranean.

Xwejni Rock, Żebbuġ, Malta

Xwejni Salt Pans

It is said that they have been gaining salt on Gozo since Roman times. They’re still doing so now, so take a look at this special piece of coastline, including the quirky Xwejni rock that overlooks the salt pans.

Triq Is-Sagħtrija, Żebbuġ, Malta

Wied il-Għasri

A narrow, but picturesque gap that has a small beach where you can see and hear the thunderous sea coming in. To enjoy the views, you need to descend a staircase into the gap. Be careful though, as it might not be safe to enter when the sea level is high or the water is rough.

Dwejra Bay, Malta

Dwejra

This was once where the world-famous Azure Window stood. And while the biggest draw to come here has collapsed, it is still worth driving up to Dwejra for beautiful coastal views and a spectacular sunset.

Triq il-Kastell, Victoria, Malta

Il-Kastell in Victoria

Victoria is the capital of Gozo and Il-Kastell (the Citadel) is the jewel in its crown. We only made it here after dark as we were travelling in November, but even then this place blew me away.
