The case
Why investors buy in Żebbuġ (Gozo)
Iż-Żebbuġ sits on high ground in the north of Gozo, looking down towards the coast at Xwejni and the salt pans cut into the rock along it. It is a small village with wide views in most directions.
Property is village housing and converted farmhouses, with the usual Gozitan mix of local buyers and second homes from Malta and abroad. Position and outlook drive value more than square metres do.
The coast below draws a summer crowd while the village stays quiet, which suits buyers looking for the setting without the season on their doorstep. Letting, as across Gozo, is largely seasonal.
