The case
Why investors buy in Nadur
Nadur occupies the high ground in eastern Gozo, a large and prosperous village with farmland around it and the beaches at Ramla and San Blas below. It has long been one of the island’s more substantial localities.
Property here is mostly houses: farmhouses, village houses and converted stock, much of it bought as a second home by buyers from Malta and abroad. Land and outlook drive prices more than proximity does.
Demand is seasonal, as it is across Gozo, and the ferry governs the calendar. The case for buying is space and character at prices that would not buy the equivalent on the main island.

Is much new build coming to Nadur?
21 new dwellings were approved in Nadur in the first quarter of 2026, 42nd of the 68 localities the National Statistics Office reported. New build is a modest part of this market, so most of what trades here is existing stock.

Yes. Non-residents can buy in Malta, usually through an Acquisition of Immovable Property permit, though many apartments in designated areas are exempt and Special Designated Areas carry no restriction at all. We can confirm the position for any specific property in Nadur.
