Blue Lagoon Malta

Located on the island of Comino, the Blue Lagoon is without a doubt the most famous cove in Malta and one of the most beautiful in the world. Find out how to get there and what to expect from your visit.

The Blue Lagoon is Malta's best beach. It's located between Comino and the islet of Cominotto. It's an authentic natural swimming pool ideal for taking a dip in crystal-clear waters and for snorkelling.

The seabed of the Blue Lagoon is home to numerous exotic species and plants native to the area. The beach has all kinds of services for swimmers and, although it's a rocky area, you'll also find sandy areas.

Our advice

The Blue Lagoon is one of Malta's main tourist attractions, so the flow of tourists is inevitable. If you're not fussy about what time you go, we recommend going to Blue Lagoon first thing in the morning or after 4 pm to avoid the crowds.

How to get to the Blue Lagoon

A very positive aspect of the Blue Lagoon is the ease of getting there from Malta. Just head for the Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal, on the northwestern tip of the island, and take one of the boats that leave every 45 minutes for Comino.

The port of arrival on this small island is the Blue Lagoon, so you won't have to go anywhere else. The price of the trip is 10 (US$ 10.70) return and the journey takes about 25 minutes. You can also get there from Gozo, taking the ferry from the port of Mgarr.

The most convenient way to visit the Blue Lagoon is to book a cruise to Comino which includes unlimited food and drinks. You can book it in advance on our website:
