Xlendi Bay

Xlendi Bay is one of Gozo’s most charming seaside villages, famous for its picturesque bay, crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs, and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Once a small fishing harbor, Xlendi has grown into one of the island’s most popular coastal destinations while still preserving its traditional character and peaceful charm.

Surrounded by steep limestone cliffs and scenic walking paths, the bay is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, diving, dining by the sea, and evening strolls along the waterfront promenade. The area is especially beautiful at sunset, when the cliffs and calm waters glow with warm golden colors. Visitors can also explore nearby attractions such as the historic Xlendi Tower and cliffside hiking trails offering breathtaking views over the coastline.
