Gozo, Malta Kempinski


In search of a little late September sunshine, Waterfront jetted across to the Maltese island of Gozo and were not disappointed with what we found


and a half hour ferry trip from Malta. At only 26 square miles, Gozo off ers the


T


chance to truly escape from the pace of mod- ern life. T e minute you step onto this sleepy little island it’s like stepping back in time and you instantly relax – there’s no rush here. We hired a car and set off on a drive


through traditional Gozatian scenery of yel- low stone buildings set along small streets and winding alleyways.


his largely rural island set in the sparkling Mediterranean Sea is only a three hour fl ight away from Liverpool John Lennon Airport


It is highly religious with 46 beautiful


churches – a high concentration for such a small island - and various religious festivals are held in villages throughout the year. T e hotel for our stay was the Kempinski in


San Lawrenz and we were shown to our de- luxe suite overlooking the pool. T e Kempinski has a choice of accommoda-


tion including the exclusive Residences, off ering luxury apartments and penthouses with a private pool and your very own chef, while still allowing access to all the hotel amenities including its restaurants and spa. T is option is clearly popular and Residences


are regularly booked for anything from two weeks up to fi ve months at a time. After a few hours at the pool we were ready


for lunch. T e Kempinski has a choice of el- egant dining options but we selected the laid back pool bar and bistro. With its open kitch- en and shaded seating it was the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch and we enjoyed grilled garlic prawns, fresh salad and spaghetti and meat balls to share. T e menu off ers snacks and sandwiches plus a variety of larger dishes so there’s something for every appetite. Known for its salt fi elds, lagoons and beauti- ful bays, there is plenty to explore in Gozo.
