Properties for rent in Xaghra put you in Gozo’s second-largest town, and one of its oldest. This is a place shaped by five thousand years of history, from the Ġgantija Temples to the carved stone doorways along its older streets, yet it’s very much a living place rather than a museum piece. Victory Square anchors daily life, with cafés, a parish church and shops nearby, while Ramla Bay’s red sand is a short drive away. Renters here get a proper mix: heritage on the doorstep, room to breathe, and everyday life that doesn’t revolve around visitors.

Ref | 66750Xaghra has its own primary school, health services and everyday shops, so you’re not reliant on Victoria for daily essentials. There’s a pharmacy, banking services and a good spread of grocers and bakeries around Victory Square, with Tal-Furnar’s stone-oven ftira among the local favourites. For families and anyone renting long-term, that self-sufficiency makes a real difference to day-to-day life.
The Ġgantija Temples, one of the world’s oldest free-standing structures, are a short walk from most homes in Xaghra. Ta’ Kola Windmill, Xerri’s Grotto, Ninu’s Cave and Calypso’s Cave overlooking Ramla Bay all sit within the town’s boundaries, too. Xaghra draws visitors throughout the year for these sites, and renters get to enjoy the same heritage as a backdrop to everyday life rather than a one-off day trip.
Victory Square is where the community comes together with cafés filling up in the day and evening, the parish church anchoring the square, and band clubs that have been part of town life for generations. The Feast of Our Lady of Victory each September brings the whole town out for band marches, decorations and fireworks. It’s a place with a strong sense of itself, and renters tend to feel that within the first few weeks.
Villas for rent in Xaghra with a pool and garden are common on the town’s outskirts, where there’s more land to work with. Many come with country or sea views, private outdoor space and separate garaging, making them a popular choice for families or anyone wanting room to spread out.
Apartments for rent in Xaghra with views tend to be in newer blocks, with open-plan living, air conditioning and a terrace or balcony looking out over the town or countryside. These suit tenants after something modern and low-maintenance.
Penthouses for rent in Xaghra with views sit on the top floor of apartment blocks, usually with a wraparound terrace that takes in long views across the plateau towards the coast. They’re a good fit for tenants who want extra outdoor space without a garden to maintain.
Houses for rent in Xaghra with a terrace often come as part of a farmhouse or house of character, built from local stone with exposed features and a private outdoor terrace. These properties suit tenants who want something with more history and personality than a standard apartment.
Maisonettes for rent in Xaghra are self-contained and often come with a small garden or yard, so they’re a practical middle ground between an apartment and a full house.
Terraced houses for rent in Xaghra follow the traditional Maltese layout, sharing side walls with neighbouring properties and running front to back. They’re generally good value and well-suited to families.
Renting close to Victory Square puts cafés, restaurants and the parish church within walking distance. It suits tenants who want to step outside and be part of the town’s daily rhythm, especially in the evenings when the square fills up.
Move a few streets out from the centre and Xagħra slows down. This is where older houses of character and farmhouses tend to sit, often with more outdoor space and a quieter, more residential feel.
Properties on Xagħra’s northern edge sit closer to Ramla Bay, Gozo’s largest sandy beach. Renting here works well for tenants who want a short walk or drive to the sea without giving up the town’s amenities.
Xagħra sits close to the Ġgantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and some of the town’s older buildings fall under conservation guidance from the Malta Planning Authority. This mainly affects structural changes and renovations rather than everyday tenancy, so it’s rarely something a renter needs to worry about day-to-day. If you’re unsure about a specific property, it’s worth asking your agent before signing.
Quite a few of Xagħra’s villas, farmhouses and terraced houses come with a private garage or dedicated parking space, more often than you’d find in denser towns like Victoria. Apartments and penthouses vary more by building, so it’s worth checking parking specifically when you view. If parking matters to you, mention it early to your agent so they can filter listings accordingly.
Bus routes connect Xagħra to Victoria and on to other parts of Gozo, so getting around without a car is possible. That said, most residents drive, since Gozo’s towns and beaches are spread out and buses run less frequently than in Malta. If you’re relying on public transport, it’s worth checking routes and timings before committing to a property.
Xagħra is a short drive from Victoria, Gozo’s main town, and from the Mgarr ferry terminal that connects Gozo to Malta. That makes it a practical base for commuters, regular travellers, or anyone who wants easy access to the rest of the island without living in the town centre.
Malta Property’s team knows Gozo as well as Malta, from the best coffee stop off Victory Square to the farmhouses that come with plenty of outdoor space. With over 30 years in Malta’s property market and offices across both islands, we’re experts in helping long-term tenants find their ideal real estate. Whether you’re moving to Xagħra for its heritage, its schools or its pace of life, we can help you find a property that fits.
