Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz Gozo Malta

The Sanctuary of Ta’ Pinu is an architectural masterpiece built in an isolated site in the island of Gozo, in the valley between the villages of Gharb and Ghammar. It is a shrine to Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu, that welcomes all the visitors who wish to pray or simply admire the splendid sculptures and craftsmanship of designs on the Maltese stone inside the church.

Discover Dwejra Bay and its fascinating area chosen as a backdrop for popular TV series, that features the fallen Azure Window, an Inland sea, Fungus Rock, the Blue Hole, a watch tower and cart ruts.

On the north coast of Gozo, near the village Marsalforn, the coast is characterised by a chequerboard of rock-cut saltpans protruding into the sea. These 350-year-old salt pans, which stretch about 3km along the coast, are more than just scenic. They are part of the centuries-old Gozitan tradition of Sea-Salt production that has been passed down within certain families for many generations. During the summer months, locals can still be seen scraping up the crystals of salt.

Revel in the abundance of marine life and dramatic underwater scenery around Gozo; discover mystic caves, mysterious grottos and fortified wrecks. Or take your first scuba diving lessons and get hooked for life. At the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz there is a dive centre onsite.

Rummage through small local stores or shop in one of Victoria’s modern outlets and malls. Watch Gozitan glassblowers at work in Crafts Village, or observe how an intricate piece of lace takes form - then take home a precious handmade souvenir for family or friends – or for yourself.
