Nearby Alternatives if Mġarr Isn’t Your Style

If you like the sound of Gozo but feel Mġarr might be a bit too quiet or too hilly, there are a few nearby areas that could suit you better:

  • Nadur & Qala – Hilltop villages overlooking the same channel, with lovely views and a more traditional village feel. You’re still a short drive from the ferry, but in a quieter, more local setting.
  • Victoria (Rabat) Gozo’s main town in the centre of the island. Ideal if you want buses in all directions, shops, cafés and restaurants all around you, and you don’t mind driving or taking a bus to beaches.
  • Marsalforn – A small seaside resort with a promenade, more restaurant choice, and easy access to swimming and coastal walks.
  • Xlendi Bay A pretty small bay surrounded by cliffs, great for sunset, coastal walks and a few seafront restaurants.

Mġarr is a good location if you want to spend a very short time (one or two nights) so that you can easily connect to the ferry. You could stay your first or last night here to be close to the ferry.
