We’re not here to answer those questions, but we’re here to help you find a great stargazing spot on the island.
1. Ħad-Dingli
Dingli is a favourite spots among star gazers all over the island.

2. Wied iż-Żurrieq
An underrated spot for star gazing, Wied iż-Żurrieq offers some of the most celestially breath-taking views on our island. Not only are the stars there very visible, but this wadi is among the most lush and green on the island.
People enjoy frequent walks here, because it’s amazing AF.
3. Selmun
This makeshift picnic/party/hike/bbq place is also great for stargazing. Which gives us another reason to love this secluded spot. Can we like Selmun anymore than we already do?
No.
4. Delimara
This south spot is a cool hangout and great camping area. Take advantage of this beautiful place and hang out there more often. It might seem a bit creepy at night, but that’s part of the charm ux.
5. Miġra l-Ferħa
Miġra l-Ferħa is one of those places completely blessed with beauty and nature. It’s a seldom visited spot, and that’s what makes it popular among local stargazers.
This spot has been popular for eons — even Count Roger was totally into it, legends say that that ruling beast landed there.
6. Anchor Bay
Another Mellieħa spot which people are totally in awe with. Apart from gazing at amazing stars you could also look over at Popeye Village and wonder about how that enigma survived.
Not only is it great for stargazing, but you can also hang around waiting for the sun to rise.
7. Tal-Merżuq
This Gozo spot is the only place with a giant Jesus statue on our islands. It’s also a convenient spot for star gazing, walking among nature and feeling peaceful AF.
When the visibility is good you can also see Mount Etna quite clearly. Isn’t that great?
8. Top of the World
Malta’s very own make-out spot is also great for stargazing. Who knew?
Għargħur’s answer to every 90s American movie is the perfect spot to chill out and look up at the skies with your favourite humans. Chances are that you’ll have company, but honestly, who cares?
9. Ġnejna
A favourite among swimmers and hikers. Ġnejna is one of those super far away lands which take ages to reach by car but are still totally worth it.
The drive may take literally forever, but once you get there you will feel like the view will stay with you for a whole lifetime.
10. Aħrax
Aħrax is a place truly blessed with natural wonders. From beautiful caves to mesmerising beaches, it truly has it all. You could watch the stars from the comfort of the super convenient campsite close-by.

11. Fomm ir-Riħ
This cool beach is an amazing spot to stargaze your night away. An unspoilt spot which will surprise you with some of the best views around the island.
It’s kind of super pebbly though so if you’re planning on lying on the floor take a towel with you. Trust us.
12. Baħrija
This cool spot in the limits of Rabat offers ample hikespace and comfort. You can snack your night away with coffee and food as you stare at the stars.
This is one of the few places on our island which remains untouched, making it also one of the prettiest.
