Gozo is the second island of the Maltese archipelago and a world apart from the busier towns of Malta. It offers green valleys, sandy bays, traditional farmhouses and a slower pace of life, while remaining part of the same EU country, with the same residency rights and services.
What is life like in Gozo?
Days revolve around the landscape and the sea. Gozo is known for some of the Mediterranean’s best diving, coastal walks along dramatic cliffs and village squares where everyone knows each other. The fortified Citadel in Victoria, the island’s capital, looks out over the whole island, and local produce such as cheese, honey and wine is part of everyday life.
How connected is Gozo to Malta?
A regular car ferry links Mġarr in Gozo with Ċirkewwa in Malta in around 25 minutes, and a fast ferry connects Gozo directly with Valletta. Residents can work, study or fly from Malta International Airport and still be home for dinner.
Why do international residents choose Gozo?
- Space and character: farmhouses with courtyards and pools, often with countryside or sea views
- Value: property prices are generally lower than in Malta’s most sought-after areas
- Tranquillity: quieter roads, open countryside and a slower pace
- Community: a close-knit island where newcomers are quickly recognised
Is Gozo suitable for families and retirees?
Yes. Gozo has its own hospital, schools, health centres and shops, so daily needs are covered on the island, while specialist services in Malta are a short trip away.
