2025 Mgarr Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Mgarr is a small sea town of the Maltese republic located in the island of #gozo . Gozo is certainly different place than Malta. The ferry from the main island in the country stops right here in Mgarr so it is definitely impossible to miss this place on your way to the good beaches of the island. The place is very beautiful and I enjoyed it. #happynewyear

Hiking in Malta during the spring is a breathtaking adventure, where the golden sun shines brightly in a clear blue sky, and a gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of the sea and wild flowers. Trekking along the island’s dramatic coastline, you’re treated to stunning views of the Mediterranean while surrounded by fields of yellow flowers. The rugged limestone cliffs rise majestically from the water, their jagged edges shaped by centuries of wind and waves. As the trail meanders through the countryside, vibrant wildflowers add splashes of color to the rocky landscape. Some paths require a bit of scrambling over weathered stones, adding an exciting challenge to the journey. With every step, the beauty of Malta’s nature unfolds, making each moment along the coast a truly unforgettable experience. #springwander #malta #hiking

Probably the most photographed rocky outcrop in Malta is a promontory that sticks out from the coast between the Riviera Bay and Gnejna Bay. It really is a very photogenic geological feature. I’ve even seen people climbing onto the top, although I wouldn’t recommend it as I’m not sure how safe it is. There is a circular hiking trail that runs around this rocky Peninsula. #celebrateit #malta #mediterranean #beach #hiking

Qarraba Bay in the north of Malta is one of the lesser known beaches on the island and definitely has a bit more of a wild vibe to it. It’s not really maintained as many of the other beaches are as there are no facilities on this beach but if you would like to have a more ‘wild’ experience away from the crowds, it’s a great beach to explore and the hike down is to it is fun as well #celebrateit #malta #mediterranean #beach

On New Year’s Day 2025, I took a beautiful hike around Riviera Bay also called Ghajn Tuffieha on the Mediterranean island of Malta. It was a beautifully sunny day and warmer than usual for the time of year so I even took a quick dip in the water, although it was a little cold. As there can be quite heavy showers of rain in the winter in Malta, the hills around the bay were looking exceptionally green. If you’re looking for some winter sun, Malta is the place to be. #celebrateit #nature #hiking #malta #mediterranean

1. Address - Singita Miracle Beach 🏝️ Highlights - the most beautiful beach in Malta personally. The aesthetic is beautiful. There is a restaurant right next to it where you can enjoy beautiful views whilst eating - and at a good price! Rating - 20/10 2. Address - Valletta 📍 Highlights - would definitely recommend a day trip at the capital city - beautiful city with such amazing food! So much history behind the city, where you can also take a boat across the water to explore other sides of the city (soo cheap around €2!!) Rating - 10/10 3. Address - Blue Grotto Highlights - such an amazing place to visit when you don't have much to do in Malta. Views are breathtaking - there is a private beach on the way up to the Blue Grotto, definitely take a dive and enjoy! Rating - 10/10 4. Address - Paradise Bay Beach 🏝️ Highlights - stunning beach, rent a sun-bed and soak up the sun all day long! Music playing from speakers to liven the vibe and atmosphere! Restaurant and cafe at the top of the beach so you can enjoy drinks and food at the same time! Rating - 10/10

This time of year is one of the best times of year for hiking in Malta, the weather is mild around 15°C and there is often a gentle breeze to keep you feeling cool. One of my favourite hikes is from Riviera Bay (Ghajn Tuffieha) to Gnejna Bay on the north west coast of Malta. There are two main hiking trails here one that follows the shoreline, and another along the cliff top. My preference is to walk along the shoreline trail first, and then head back along the cliff top trail. Really looking forward to being back in Malta in February! #getgoing2025 #mountainhike #malta

Gnejna Bay is a popular sandy beach located in the North West of Malta, within the limits of Mgarr. The beach is mostly sandy and is the third sandy beach of the chain of beaches in the area, together with Golden Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha, however Gnejna is smaller, less crowded and offers the option to choose a quieter spot. The beach is surrounded by limestone cliffs and offers a picturesque view of the Mediterranean Sea. The beach is easily accessible by car and has a parking lot right in front of it. The beach is a perfect place for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the outdoors. The beach is also a popular spot for snorkeling and diving. #dreamvoyage

Lovely sandy beach! Went for a barbecue with family and friends and enjoyed the amazing view! The sunset was breathtaking
