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.
