Romantic Beach Weddings in Gozo: Top Venues & Insider Tips for Your Dream Day

Imagine standing barefoot on soft golden sand, your hands wrapped around your partner’s, a Mediterranean breeze gently tugging at your veil, and the sea whispering behind you, “This is it—this is love.” Sounds like a scene from a Nicholas Sparks novel? Nope. Just your beach wedding in Gozo.

If you’ve never heard of this sun-drenched gem in Malta’s archipelago, let me tell you why Gozo is one of the most magical spots in Europe to tie the knot—and how to find the perfect beach to say “I do.”

Why Gozo for Your Beach Wedding?

Because it’s charmingly small, impossibly beautiful, and blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Gozo is Malta’s more relaxed and rustic sister island—a hidden treasure that’s still (somehow) under the radar of most mainstream weddings.

It’s perfect for couples dreaming of a laid-back, intimate beach ceremony that feels personal, poetic, and far from cookie-cutter. Whether you’re eloping or bringing 50 of your closest people, Gozo brings the backdrop—you bring the magic.

Top Beach Wedding Venues in Gozo (Each With Its Own Personality)

1. 🌺 Ramla Bay – The Golden Red Dream

Oh, Ramla. The beach with red-gold sand that looks like it was painted by a romantic god. This wide bay offers space, drama, and the kind of Mediterranean palette that’ll make your photos look like fine art.

📝 Pro Tip: Try a sunset ceremony mid-week (fewer beachgoers) and book a local planner to help with permits. Ramla is public, but you’ll want to secure a section for your vows.

2. 🌊 Xlendi Bay – Coastal Charm With a Side of Seafood

This quaint bay is known for its cliffside views, boats bobbing in turquoise waters, and a postcard-worthy promenade. Have your ceremony on the rocky outcrop or sandy edge, then wander to a seafront restaurant for fresh-caught sea bream and Gozitan wine.

3. 🧡 San Blas Bay – Go Barefoot & Boho

Tiny, hidden, and wildly romantic, San Blas is for couples who want to keep things offbeat and raw. There’s a steep hill to get there (hello, wedding workout!), but the reward is ultimate privacy.

📝 Note: Not wheelchair-friendly. Ideal for elopements or very small groups.

📍Explore San Blas

4. 🌿 Mgarr ix-Xini – For the Adventurous Romantics

This cinematic cove (yep, Angelina Jolie filmed here) is the stuff of Mediterranean legends. Tucked between cliffs and lush slopes, it’s wildly atmospheric. Whisper your vows where pirates once hid their treasures—and maybe steal a kiss in a sea cave.

📍Visit Mgarr ix-Xini

5. 🌌 Dwejra Bay – Where the Sea Meets the Stars

Though the famous Azure Window collapsed, Dwejra’s magic is very much alive. Get married by the Inland Sea, with epic limestone formations and shimmering tide pools all around. Honestly, if Poseidon planned a wedding, this is where he’d do it.

Planning Tips from Someone Who’s Seen It All (And Photographed It Too 😉)

✅ Timing is everything: May, early June, and late September are warm, romantic, and less crowded.
✅ Permits: Most beaches need one for ceremonies. A local planner is your secret weapon.
✅ Footwear: Think barefoot, boho sandals, or wedges. Leave the stilettos at home.
✅ Local Touches: Add Gozitan lace, citrus details, or a Limoncello toast for a Mediterranean vibe.
✅ Photography: The golden hour in Gozo is basically a free filter.
