As travelers increasingly seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint, sustainable travel is no longer a niche trend—it’s a movement. Gozo, Malta’s tranquil sister island, offers a perfect blend of untouched landscapes, eco-conscious activities, and accommodations that honor tradition. At Gozo Stays, we’re proud to provide farmhouse rentals that celebrate sustainability while immersing guests in the island’s rustic charm.

Why Gozo is a Sustainable Travel Destination

1. Low-Impact Accommodations:

Our restored farmhouses use traditional Maltese architecture, featuring natural limestone walls and solar-powered energy. By staying in a heritage property, you’re preserving history *and* reducing modern resource consumption.  

2. Farm-to-Table Culture:

Gozo’s small-scale farms supply fresh, hyper-local ingredients. Pair your stay with visits to family-run wineries (like Ta’ Mena Estate) or a cooking class using seasonal produce.  

3. Car-Free Exploration:

With compact villages and scenic trails, Gozo is ideal for walking, cycling, or electric buggy tours. Skip the rental car and hike from your farmhouse to landmarks like the Ġgantija Temples (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).  

Top Eco-Friendly Activities 

Snorkel at Xwejni Salt Pans: Discover these 350-year-old salt pans, still harvested by hand, and swim in nearby crystal-clear waters.  

Volunteer with Local NGOs: Join beach cleanups or tree-planting initiatives with organizations like Żibel.  

Stay Connected to Nature: Many of our farmhouses feature private gardens or rooftop terraces—perfect for stargazing or enjoying homegrown citrus.

Choosing sustainable travel in Gozo isn’t just about reducing your impact—it’s about deepening your connection to the land and its people. Ready to plan your eco-conscious getaway? Browse and book a stay that aligns with your values.
