Ghar Lapsi – The Mystic Past Married With The Simple Present

If you wish to visit a location which has practically everything and is conveniently located on the island’s South Western coast, then the picturesque hamlet of Ghar Lapsi is the place to go. The area is a lovely haven, right in the middle of nowhere but just a few minutes away from the village of Siggiewi which is also worth a visit. The sea is quite beautiful and with the little cave offering a kind of snug shelter, the area is definitely a swimmer’s paradise.

However Ghar Lapsi is famous for the stupendous view it offers of the island of Filfla, one of those mysterious landmarks which makes this country such a beautiful place. The islet is quite small but from this vantage point, it appears deeply majestic and imposing, a kind of phoenix rising out of the sea in triumphant glory.

The De Redin tower which is one of the last remaining coastal guard towers which were built in the 17th century and is still standing, is another interesting landmark and one can also go for a picturesque country walk around the area which will be blooming with flowers as autumn begins to set in. The garigue landscape is also imposing and beautiful in its own rugged way.

Apart from the scenic beauty of the place, one can also sample the culinary delights of the Blue Creek restaurant. Blue Creek is perfect for anyone seeking a dining experience to remember, relaxing lunch or sumptuous dinner, our welcome is always warm. Situated well away from the hassle of traffic and noise that most people are around every day, the drive to the restaurant will take you through some spectacular Maltese scenery and countryside along the coast, which in itself is enough to whet your appetite.

Designed with the intention to blend classic with modern the interior’s blue and white colour scheme that extends on to the terrace reflects the crystal blue water of the surrounding Mediterranean. The dining area is comfortably spacious. As you enter you will find a bar/light snack area which is perfect for anyone wanting a quick but appetising meal. Beyond this there is our à la carte restaurant, which enjoys panoramic sea views that must rate among the best in Malta. From the restaurant you can gain access to the terrace, which has an even more spectacularly beautiful vista; you can almost reach out and touch Filfla. Truly the perfect place to enjoy the cooling breeze and dine under the clear blue spring, summer afternoon skies or even more romantically under the stars in the evening.
