01/05/2025
Looking to escape the crowds and discover Gozo's untouched coastal beauty? Beyond the well-known Ramla Bay and Xlendi, the island is full of hidden coves and secret beaches—perfect for a quiet swim, a romantic sunset, or a moment of pure Mediterranean bliss. Here are our top 5 hidden beaches in Gozo you definitely need to explore:
Mgarr ix-Xini
1. San Blas Bay – The Little Sister of Ramla
Tucked away in Nadur, this secluded red sand beach is smaller than Ramla Bay but just as beautiful—and far less crowded. You'll need to walk down a steep hill (or brave the bumpy path by quad), but the peace and natural beauty are worth it.
👉 Tip: Go early in the morning for the calmest sea and softest light.
2. Mgarr ix-Xini – Where Angelina Jolie Once Filmed
A narrow inlet surrounded by cliffs, Mgarr ix-Xini is a favourite among locals and snorkelers. It's also where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie filmed parts of By the Sea. The water here is crystal-clear and the surrounding nature is pristine.
👉 Tip: Bring your snorkel gear—there's plenty to explore underwater!
3. Dahlet Qorrot – A Local's Fishing Spot
Located between Nadur and Qala, Dahlet Qorrot is a peaceful cove used mostly by fishermen. Its concrete jetties and turquoise water make it a great spot for a quiet swim and sunbathing on the rocks.
👉 Tip: Pack your own snacks—there's usually a food truck but it's seasonal.
4. Hondoq ir-Rummien – Hidden Coves Near Qala
This beach isn't totally unknown, but walk a few minutes past the main bay and you'll find hidden swimming spots carved into the limestone. It's ideal for kayaking, snorkelling, and sunset views over Comino.
👉 Tip: You can rent kayaks here and explore nearby sea caves!
5. Wied il-Ghasri – A Fjord-Like Treasure
This stunning, narrow inlet near Zebbug (very close to Haven Farmhouse!) is perfect for adventurous swimmers. It feels like a miniature fjord, with cliffs on either side and clear blue water.
👉 Tip: Avoid it during rough seas—this spot is best when the water is calm.
Gozo is full of natural gems—and if you're staying at Haven Farmhouse, many of these hidden beaches are just a short drive or quad ride away. Pack your sunscreen, water shoes, and a sense of adventure—and start exploring the quieter side of Gozo.
