Watch: Blue Lagoon Rehabilitation Proposal Officially Launched
A visual render by Mizzi Studio shows what Blue Lagoon could look like if its rehabilitation proposal goes through.
Earlier today, Deputy Prime Minister and Tourism Minister Ian Borg, together with architect Jonathan Mizzi of Mizzi Studio, announced a holistic rehabilitation proposal that seeks to strike a balance between protecting fragile ecosystems and improving the overall visitor experience.
The proposal includes the removal of existing kiosks along the main shoreline, opening up space for a scenic walkway with breathtaking views and improved accessibility.
Large areas of garigue landscapes are set to be restored and protected with traditional rubble walls, while boat operations will be moved away from the main swimming area to safer docking zones.
The swimming zone itself will also be expanded, while degraded sites currently occupied by buildings and concrete structures will be repurposed into low-lying facilities for seating, food and beverage services, waste management and information points.
Green roofs, sustainable materials, and the reorganisation of catering services to focus on reusable and biodegradable packaging will ensure that the new interventions remain sensitive to the natural surroundings.
The plan will now enter a permitting process that includes public consultation.
