Introducing Xlendi

Development has turned the sometime fishing village of Xlendi into a popular resort town. Although the cluster of buildings won't win any architectural awards, the bay still enjoys an attractive setting. It's a favourite place for weekending Maltese and tourists to chill out by the sea, with good swimming, snorkelling and diving, and plenty of rocks for sunbathing. In the 19th century, this was known as 'women's harbour', as it was reserved for women-only bathing.

By the bus stop and car park, a block back from the waterfront, is an ATM, currency exchange machine and internet cafe.
