A lively fishing village turned summer hotspot, Marsalforn blends beachside living with local culture. Renters enjoy modern sea-facing apartments with balconies, while short-let flats near the promenade are perfect for weekend escapes. With its diving schools, paddleboarding spots, and relaxed nightlife, it’s ideal for active tenants and social lifestyles.
Xlendi Bay is made for sea lovers, tucked between towering cliffs and turquoise water. Dive centres, kayaking, and coastal trails are all within walking distance, as are Gozitan restaurants right on the water. Here, character apartments with traditional features sit alongside newer cliffside residences, making it a favourite for couples and creatives looking for a space with a direct sea view.
Set high on Gozo’s eastern side, Nadur has clifftop tranquillity and some of the island’s most impressive views. Apartments here range from spacious long term rentals to premium penthouses with wide terraces. A great choice for walkers, photographers, and anyone wanting a peaceful home base close to Gozo’s beautiful beaches and natural coves.
Qala’s allure lies in its peaceful pace and panoramic sea views. It’s perfect for those who want to unplug without being too remote. Renters can find both traditional limestone apartments and contemporary flats with private balconies overlooking the channel. Fishing, coastal walking paths, and views across to Comino make Qala a hidden treasure.
Mġarr gives the best of both worlds: coastal beauty and commuter convenience. Near the Gozo ferry, this area has apartments with stunning views of the harbour and marina. It’s ideal for professionals and anyone regularly travelling to Malta, with seafood restaurants and sea air just outside your front door.
This historic fortress turned lifestyle development offers refined coastal living with all the extras. Apartments here come with large terraces, luxury interiors, sea-facing pools, and secure amenities, all within a gated community. Fort Chambray is Gozo’s most prestigious location for sea view rentals, suited to tenants who want exclusivity.
Sea view apartments for rent in Gozo are available as either short-term or long-term rental agreements. Choosing the right one depends on how long you plan to stay.
Short let properties are ideal for holidays, visiting friends or family, or trying out island life before committing longer-term. These apartments are usually fully furnished, with utilities and Wi-Fi often included in the rent. You’ll find many short lets are in scenic hubs like Xlendi or Marsalforn, close to the coast, restaurants, and diving centres. Think cosy balconies with sea views, easy beach access, and everything you need for a laid-back island stay.
Long let properties are perfect for those relocating, retiring, or embracing a slower lifestyle. Long-term sea view rentals in Gozo tend to be better value month-to-month and give you a chance to truly settle in. Apartments are usually available furnished or unfurnished and can include everything from stylish new builds to character homes in quieter areas like Nadur or the outskirts of Victoria. These properties are popular with expats and remote workers looking for space, serenity, and a genuine connection to the island.
Many do, especially short lets and modern developments. Furnished rentals usually include sofas, beds, kitchen appliances, air conditioning, and outdoor furniture for balconies or terraces. Always double-check with your agent before signing.
Older properties may feature thick limestone walls and wooden beams, and while they’re full of personality, amenities like air conditioning or lifts may be limited. That said, they have unbeatable views and give a genuine taste of island life.
Gozo has excellent broadband coverage, even in rural coastal areas. Many sea view rentals cater to remote workers and digital nomads, so you’ll often find fibre-optic internet already set up or easy to install, especially in modern developments. Mobile coverage is also pretty good, but it’s worth checking the 3G, 4G and 5G coverage by provider too.
Areas like Xlendi and Marsalforn are diving hubs, while Mġarr has direct access to boating facilities and ferry routes. If marine activities are part of your lifestyle, let your agent know, as many apartments are within walking distance of these amenities.
Summer sees a spike in short-term lets, which can make long-term rentals harder to find or more expensive in popular spots. Planning ahead or searching in off-peak seasons (like autumn or early spring) gives you more options and better deals.
Most villages like Marsalforn, Xlendi, and Nadur are well connected by bus routes to Victoria and the ferry terminal. However, having a car or scooter is a big plus if you’re living in quieter areas or commuting daily. Parking is often included with rentals, especially outside central zones.
From the winding streets of Xlendi to the elevated terraces of Nadur, our agents understand the nuances of every coastal village: what it’s like to live there, what the sea looks like at sunrise, where the nearest café is, and which apartments book up fast. That’s the kind of knowledge that only comes from being on the ground, year after year.
Whether you’re relocating, retiring, or looking for a seasonal escape, our personalised approach makes sure you’ll feel supported, informed, and excited every step of the way.
Whether you already know which bay you want to overlook or you’re just starting your search, we’re here to help you find the apartment that feels right. Let’s talk about what you’re looking for and find it together.
