Holiday Apartments and Villas to Rent in Xlendi Bay, Gozo

Xlendi Bay is a stunning holiday destination. The resort on the southern side of the bay is built into the steep sides of the bay in tiers of buildings and consists of large number of private dwellings hotels and apartments . There is a low level walkway past a couple of bars, restaurants and boat houses to the lower lying headland. The northern side of the bay has very steep cliffs with steep steps and a footpath that goes along the cliff to the headland. There are no buildings on this side of the bay. Below the road on the southern side of the bay are two a paths leading to the headland. The higher path merges into the lower path via steps near the Ic Cima  restaurant. Both paths have steps either to reach them, or along the path. There are bench style seating at very regular intervals to enjoy the sunshine and view or the beautiful sunsets which are usually at there best in spring and autumn. Near the beach end of the lower path is the Churchill restaurant and a bar. A rougher path continues from the near southern headland round the next bay inlet to the watch tower on the next further headland. The flights of steps on the northern cliff side where the cliff is a shear drop are steep but the views from the steps, footpath and northern headland are stunning and worth the climb. The beach at Xlendi is at the landward end of the bay, which has an unusual rectangular end rather than the normal horseshoe shape of bays. The extremely small beach is divided by a very stone jetty style harbour wall. One side of the wall the beach is made of golden sand and on the other it is made of pebble. You can buy the essentials in Xlendi but if you are into wandering around the shops then head for the islands capital Victoria 2 miles away or take a trip to Valleta or Sliema on the main island Malta. Xlendi  is the perfect place to relax in, ideal for chatting with your family or fiends over a drink in a bar or an appetising meal in a restaurant. Because many tourists come for the day or afternoon you will find a large number of bars and restaurants through Xlendi. The largest concentration is on the seafront overlooking the bay and beach.
