Gharb in Gozo, Malta

All Inclusive Gharb Holiday Style, Gozo – A Haven of Tranquillity and Calm – Discovering Gharb

Forget about the other resorts in Gozo, a holiday in Gharb is one of the best. Gharb is where you will find the true personality of Gozo, with quiet rural lanes, honey-coloured stone homes where time moves slowly.

This isn’t a place to go if you’re looking nightclubs and loud music, it’s for the discerning holidaymaker who is looking solace and tranquillity. A holiday in Gharb invites you to slow down to discover not only the island, but yourself.

A Destination Steeped in Legend

The heart of Gharb is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, which locals call the Gozo Cathedral. But where this destination shows its real character is in the surrounding countryside. This is where the legendary Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu rises from the landscape. This is a national shrine, a place of pilgrimage well-known for its miraculous healings.

Dramatic Coasts, Not Just Sandy Beaches

While the Għar Qawqla beach and the sandy bay of Ramla Bay is just a short drive away, Gharb’s own coastline is more of dramatic cliffs. A must-see is Dwejra Bay, in nearby san Lawerence. This is the home to the famous Inland Sea and the remnants of the Azure Window. Gharb is a holiday destination more for incredible sunset views and world-class scuba diving through the underwater caves, not for sunbathing on sand.

The Handicrafts of the Island

You probably will want to do some sightseeing while you there. Be sure to pencil in Ta Dbiegi Crafts Village. Here you can see handicrafts workers make Gozitan lace and other works. Here is a perfect place to bring back some souvenir that will remind you of your holiday in Gharb.

Ideal for active types, walkers and cyclists, or those who want to sit back and have nothing to do but dream.
