Whether you’re an avid photographer, a nature lover, or simply looking for the perfect sunset spot, here are five must-see viewpoints that capture the soul of Gozo.
Tal-Mixta Cave
Perched about 100 metres above sea level, Tal-Mixta Cave offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the iconic orange-red sands of Ramla Bay. While a beach day at Ramla is always a treat, the view from this natural cave (called Għar in Maltese) adds a whole new perspective. If the heat allows, lace up your trekking shoes and make the short climb; photographers and nature lovers will be rewarded with one of Gozo’s most photogenic views. If it’s too warm, no worries, just relax on the beach and take it in from below!
Ta’ Ċenċ Cliffs
For dramatic seascapes and unforgettable sunsets, head to the Ta’ Ċenċ Cliffs on Gozo’s southern coast. These towering limestone cliffs plunge steeply into the deep blue, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. Ideal for a romantic evening walk or a quiet moment of reflection.
The Citadel (Cittadella), Victoria
This UNESCO World Heritage Site sits atop a flat hill in the heart of Gozo. From the ancient fortified walls of the Citadel in Victoria, you can enjoy sweeping views of the entire island, from rolling hills to distant valleys.
Dwejra Bay
A stone’s throw from where the legendary Azure Window once stood lies the spectacular Dwejra Bay. Towering cliffs, stunning sunsets, and the mysterious Fungus Rock guarding the entrance make this bay a must-see. Whether you’re here for the geological beauty, a photo session, or just the peaceful atmosphere, Dwejra delivers.
Wied il-Mielaħ
This is Gozo’s last surviving natural window, a stunning limestone arch sculpted by wind and sea. Found at the end of the Wied il-Mielaħ Valley near Gharb, it’s easy to reach by road and offers a striking contrast of rugged rock against crystal-clear waters. Perfect for adventurers, the area promises exciting dives, rock climbing, and scenic walks.
