Film locations in Xlendi

Xlendi is a small resort on Gozo's southwest coast, set in a narrow cliff-lined inlet. Its bay and cliffs have reportedly been used by The Madame Blanc Mysteries and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Xlendi was once a fishing hamlet at the end of a deep valley, part of the municipality of Munxar. Today it's a small resort with a horseshoe of cafés and apartments around a tiny sandy beach. High limestone cliffs line both sides of the inlet, and paths and steps climb them for views out to sea and to the 17th-century Xlendi Tower at the mouth of the bay. The sheltered water is popular for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Location guides say The Madame Blanc Mysteries filmed boat scenes in the bay. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen reportedly used the cliffs for a scene on the Nautilus. Route 306 runs from Victoria to Xlendi.
