4Blue Lagoon, Comino, Malta

Small but breathtaking, Malta’s Blue Lagoon is famed for its crystalline water that shines in every shade of blue.

The lagoon is shallow and sandy-bottomed, making the sea appear even clearer than it already is. Surrounded by rugged limestone and caves, it feels like nature’s infinity pool. Boats dock here daily, but in the early morning or off season, it’s pure Mediterranean bliss.
