Choose your baseMARSALFORN & XLENDI · YOUR KIND OF HOLIDAY
Marsalforn is on Gozo’s northern coast; Xlendi is on the south-western coast. Each has its own nearby places. Plan a real onward journey when visiting the other bay.
B&B BASE · WATERFRONT MEALS
Murella Living offers B&B accommodation on Triq il-Forn. Combine a bay base with a separate coastal outing towards Qbajjar and Xwejni.
Ask your host about the actual room, balcony, street noise and access.
Contact Murella LivingBAY HOTELS · SELF-CATERING
Hotel San Andrea and St Patrick’s offer hotels by the bay. BLOCK offers studios and apartments on Triq il-Gostra; compare the actual unit and kitchen.
Check room aspect and floor. A waterfront setting does not establish suitable swimming access for your family.

Respect the salt pans and choose your actual return connection before setting out.
Explore the salt pansYOUR DATES · YOUR PACE
Our planning suggestions. Choose your dates for your group, then check current conditions and opening arrangements.
Our suggestion: combine one beach or heritage outing with shade, water and a comfortable return. Confirm the actual room, kitchen, pool and access arrangements with your host.
With flexible dates, mix village meals, heritage and a walk chosen for your group. Check current paths and weather; a coastal orientation point does not establish a marked walking route.
Allow time for villages and indoor heritage, with outdoor visits when conditions suit. Check restaurant service and ferry notices for your dates rather than relying on summer opening.
