Holidays in Sannat

Retreating from the world? Or after truly rural holidays? In Sannat, you'll find what you're looking for.

Sannat's motto may be 'Work before everything' but this is as far from the rat race as you can get. This is rural life in the raw, untouched by conventional tourism and unperturbed by the pace of modern life. In the south of Gozo, beside a stunning valley and behind breathtaking cliffs, Sannat is an escapist's dream. Space to think. Sun to bath in. And surroundings that leave you refreshed and inspired.

Life in Sannat revolves around the square in front of the baroque Church of St. Margaret Martyr. If it's happening, it happens here - like the occasional religious festival. Let Sannat show you its stuff in the Lace House or Palazzo Palina. Stay somewhere rustic like the Ta Dun Nastas, a converted farmhouse – topped off with a rooftop terrace for that private patch of sun. You're only a short walk through quiet streets to the lone restaurant and bar that serve the town.

Sannat holidays are about going into Gozo's gloriously green countryside. Ta Cenc Cliffs are Gozo's highest point, and home to the prehistoric L-Imramma Temple, three Bronze Age burial dolmen and a mysterious menhir.

The Hanzira Valley leads down to the beautiful Mgarr ix-Xini Bay – the perfect spot for nature lovers and wannabe mermaids. Deep blue water laps the pebbly beach, and the diving round here includes the wreck of an old ferry. A stroll along the ancient footpath to the Watchtower is worth it for the views alone.
