Kemmuna Essentials

Kemmuna, the smallest inhabited island of the Maltese archipelago, is defined by its limestone cliffs and clear coastal waters. The island features the world-renowned Blue Lagoon, characterized by shallow white sands and turquoise sea. Historical landmarks include the 17th-century Torri ta’ Santa Marija, a critical link in the Order of St. John’s coastal defense system, and the 1715 St Mary’s Gun Battery. The rugged coastline is perforated by the Santa Marija Caves, a complex of ten sea caves known for natural light effects and diverse marine life.

Blue Lagoon

Probably the most beautiful bathing and diving spot on the islands. It lives up to its name with the cyan water and white sands.

Crystal Lagoon Dive Site

A sheltered lagoon with depths ranging from 5 to 15 meters. It features high underwater visibility, limestone tunnels, and a 30-meter swim-through leading to the open sea.

Torri ta’ Santa Marija

A 17th-century watchtower built by the Order of St. John to defend the channel between Malta and Gozo. It stands 80 meters above sea level and remains a prominent maritime landmark.

St Mary's Gun Battery

A coastal fortification completed in 1715 to protect the South Comino Channel. The site retains its original semi-circular gun platform and stone blockhouse overlooking the sea.

Santa Marija Caves & Dive Site

This diving spot has over ten caves - and each one is special. The animals here like to get fed by divers.

Santa Marija Caves

A system of ten sea caves on the northern coast of the island. These limestone formations are accessible by boat and offer numerous swim-through passages and natural light displays.

Chapel of Our Lady's Return from Egypt

A small Roman Catholic chapel dating back to at least 1618. It features a simple barrel-vaulted interior and serves as the primary place of worship for the island's few residents.
