Malta's most iconic destination — crystal-clear turquoise water, dramatic limestone cliffs and unforgettable scenery
Comino is the smallest of the three Maltese islands, covering just 3.5 square kilometres between Malta and Gozo. Almost entirely uninhabited, it is a protected nature reserve with no cars, no noise and extraordinary natural beauty.
The island is famous worldwide for its Blue Lagoon — a sheltered bay with water so clear and so intensely turquoise it almost looks artificial. On a calm sunny day it is one of the most beautiful places in the entire Mediterranean.
Beyond the Blue Lagoon, Comino offers walking trails, the 17th-century Santa Maria Tower, secluded coves and rich birdlife. Most visitors come for the day but it is possible to stay overnight at the island's small hotel during summer.

Browse Comino Trips on Viator →The star attraction — swim, snorkel and float in impossibly clear turquoise water. Best before 11am to avoid the crowds.
A quieter, less crowded bay on the east of the island — worth the 20-minute walk for calmer water and fewer visitors.
A 17th-century watchtower built by the Knights of St John. Climb for panoramic views across all three Maltese islands.
A smaller, even clearer inlet next to the Blue Lagoon — often overlooked by visitors but absolutely stunning and less busy.
The whole island is walkable in under 2 hours. Spring brings wildflowers; birdwatchers visit for migratory species.
