Gozo receives nearly 300 days of sunshine each year, so there’s rarely a bad moment to visit, but each season has its own personality, and knowing what to expect helps you plan the perfect trip.
Summer
June to September is peak season, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C and little rain. It’s also festa season, when villages all around the island celebrate their patron saints with fireworks, brass bands, and street celebrations. Beaches such as Ramla Bay and San Blas Bay, as well as diving spots surrounding Dwejra, are all at their peak right now; however, you can expect the busiest crowds and highest rates of the year.
Spring and autumn
May-June and October-November are ideal months for a more relaxing vacation. Temperatures change from 20–27°C, the countryside is green and wild with spring wildflowers, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming well into the autumn months. October can bring the occasional brief, heavy rain, although it rarely lasts long.
Winter
Gozo’s off-season lasts between December to March, when temperatures are cooler (15-17°C), breezier, and there is more cloud and rain than the rest of the year. It’s not beach weather, but it’s ideal for affordable accommodations, calm sightseeing, and experiencing the island at its most authentic, especially around Christmas. Staying somewhere with a hot tub or heated indoor comfort also makes a big difference; several Gozo Self Catering Holiday Homes homes provide just that, allowing you to warm up after a day of touring rather than walking around the street.
Wherever you checking the calendar, a self-catering stay makes the most of it: your own pace, your own pool, and a place to relax in between beach days or local festivities. Gozo Self Catering Holiday Homes has handpicked farmhouses and villas throughout the island for just that purpose.
