Cornucopia Hotel Gozo sits on the edge of Xagħra, one of the island’s most charming hilltop villages, overlooking a quiet valley carpeted with citrus groves and farms. You’re close enough to wander down to the main square for an evening spritz or a leisurely dinner, yet far enough away to feel cocooned in the countryside.

Gozo itself is all about a slower pace: honey-stone villages, dramatic coastal cliffs, red-sand Ramla Bay and some of the best diving in the Mediterranean. From the hotel you can easily explore Victoria’s Citadel, the Ġgantija Temples and tucked-away coves by local bus, hire car or taxi.

• 900m to Xagħra resort centre (restaurants, cafés and bars)
• 3.3km to the nearest beach (Ramla Bay area)
• 6.6km to Gozo Ferry Terminal (Mgarr)
• Surrounded by rural countryside and valley views

Approx. transfer time from Malta International Airport (MLA), including ferry crossing: 3 hours 40 minutes (subject to schedules and traffic).

The hotel’s Cornucopia Restaurant sits at the heart of the property, blending stone arches and warm lighting with homely Gozitan cooking and international favourites. Expect leisurely breakfasts and unhurried dinners, with local produce and seasonal dishes regularly on the menu.

The Cornucopia Bar and cocktail bar pour everything from local wines and spirits to international classics, open roughly from mid-morning until late evening (hours can vary with season and occupancy). Evenings often spill out onto the terraces, where you can sip a nightcap under the stars and enjoy the valley breeze.

A smart-casual dress code may apply at dinner, and reservations or supplements can differ depending on your chosen board basis. Operation and opening times are based on previous seasons and can change. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Life at Cornucopia tends to revolve around its two outdoor freshwater pools, tucked into stone terraces with valley views. One pool is more peaceful for quiet sunbathing, while the second features a children’s section and a whirlpool, ideal for a gentle soak.

Both pool areas offer sunbeds and parasols, with complimentary pool towels provided so you can travel light. Facilities or atmosphere can vary slightly between the two pools and by season.

The nearest sandy beach is about 3.3km away, with Gozo’s coastline easily explored by local transport or hire car. Ramla Bay, with its distinctive red-gold sand, and Xlendi Bay, loved for its swimming and seaside restaurants, are both within a short drive.
