San Lawrenz (Gozo) holidays

Named after the village’s patron saint, Lawrence of Rome, San Lawrenz lies on the north-western edge of Gozo. Sitting pretty on a tree-clad hilltop, San Lawrenz is ideal for exploring by foot. The iconic sand coloured buildings and boats bobbing in the nearby harbour make for a postcard-perfect picture, too

Old-fashioned looks

Wrapped up between three hills, San Lawrenz is a particularly pretty resort with an overwhelmingly rustic aesthetic. Think sun-faded, beige-hued architecture in a verdant wilderness. Magnificent domed buildings map out this little village, and there are some relaxed-vibe sunbathing spots close by for after you’ve pottered about, too.

See so much more

This straight-talking scenic resort sees you conveniently placed for discovering more of Gozo’s dainty towns, but you’ll still find restaurants, bars and a sprinkling of shops.
