Xewkija is a central, historic village recognisable for its Rotunda church, one of the largest unsupported domes in the world. It sits close to Gozo’s heliport and within easy reach of Victoria, giving it a practical, well-connected position within the island’s road network.

Property market

Price levels in Xewkija are moderate, with moderate rental demand consistent with a central, non-coastal Gozo locality. The village offers a balanced residential mix of townhouses, houses of character, apartments and terraced houses.

Who buys in Xewkija

Xewkija’s balanced housing stock and central location make it an accessible entry point for first-time buyers and growing families on Gozo, rather than a specifically holiday-oriented market. Its proximity to Victoria adds convenience without the higher pricing of the capital itself.

See Xewkija vs Sannat for how it compares against Gozo’s other most affordable locality.
