Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon, located on the tiny island of Comino between Malta and Gozo, is one of the most iconic and photographed spots in the Maltese Islands. With its powder-white sand beneath shallow, crystal-clear turquoise water, it feels like a natural swimming pool carved into the Mediterranean. Accessible only by boat, the Blue Lagoon draws visitors from all over the world during the warmer months. The water is calm, warm, and perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and relaxing on floaties. The lagoon is surrounded by rugged limestone cliffs and small coves, creating plenty of space to explore or just unwind with a view. Though Comino is nearly uninhabited, the area buzzes during the day with food kiosks, sunbed rentals, and boat charters. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to enjoy the Blue Lagoon without the crowds. For more adventure, visitors can kayak or take boat tours to explore nearby caves like the Crystal Lagoon, or hike around the island to see the historic Santa Marija Tower—a 17th-century coastal watchtower with panoramic views. Whether you're up for a quick dip or a full day of sun and sea, the Blue Lagoon is pure escape—bright, beautiful, and unforgettable.
