Location:

Calypso Retreat is situated on the quaint island of Gozo, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. The absence of an international airport on Gozo lends an air of remoteness and tranquillity to the island's character. Travelers are advised to fly to Malta and then conveniently catch a short ferry ride to reach Gozo.

Located on the outskirts of the charming village of Xaghra and 3.6 km east of Gozo's capital, Victoria, Calypso Retreat offers a prime position. It rests adjacent to the iconic "Calypso Cave" viewpoint and is a stone's throw from the renowned Ramla Bay, known for its distinct red sand. Additionally, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ggantija, is close by, with all essential amenities conveniently within walking distance.

Despite Gozo's compact size—just seven kilometers in length and slightly over thirteen kilometers wide—there is a wealth of activities to suit all preferences. From historical sites, religious structures, and natural trails to city exploration, shopping, and savoring local cuisine, Gozo offers abundant options. To fully uncover the island's treasures, a car is recommended.

Indulge in the unhurried pace of life and bask in the Gozitan sunlight. Pristine waters grace each beach and cove, inviting you to relish their serenity through swimming, snorkeling, or even diving. Gozo is renowned as a favored diving destination, catering to beginners and seasoned divers alike. Traverse underwater caves and explore sunken WWII aircraft alongside vibrant schools of fish. Families with young children will delight in the famous Ramla Bay, boasting expansive stretches of striking red sands, guarded by lifeguards. The realm of water sports is boundless, encompassing paddleboarding, kayaking, tubing, wakeboarding, and water skiing.

Gozo boasts captivating hikes, revealing the peaceful countryside punctuated by fascinating geological formations. Embark on a hike from Xaghra to Ramla Bay or challenge yourself with a trek to the Sanap Cliffs, each rewarding with breathtaking vistas. Post-hike, relish delectable, freshly prepared Gozitan cuisine, reflecting the locals' renowned hospitality that beckons visitors to return time and again.

From natural marvels to ancient remnants and culinary delights, Gozo caters to every guest, making it an ideal holiday destination.
