Wied il Mielaħ Window
Wied il Mielaħ Window is a natural limestone arch on the northwest coast of Gozo that appears as an opening cut into the cliff face. The formation stands solid and allows visitors to view clear blue waters and rocky terrain from various vantage points along the cliff edge.
The formation developed over many years as the sea, wind, and rain worked on the limestone. After the famous Azure Window collapsed in a storm in 2017, this natural arch became widely known and draws visitors seeking an alternative to that lost landmark.
Visitors come here to experience quiet and a connection with nature rather than crowds. The area remains a space where local people walk, fish, and enjoy the outdoors in a simple, unpretentious way.
The site is easy to reach by road with parking available nearby and straightforward walking access to the viewpoint. Spring and autumn offer the best conditions with mild weather and clear visibility over the water.
After the collapse of the famous Azure Window in 2017, this arch became a hidden alternative for those seeking similar natural beauty without the expected crowds. The site remains relatively unknown to many visitors despite offering views as compelling as its lost predecessor.
