What hardly anyone explains: since May 2025, to land at the Blue Lagoon you need a free QR code booked on the Government of Malta website, with a time slot (morning, afternoon or sunset), up to two months ahead and a maximum of four people per booking. No cruise includes it, and without it you stay on the boat. How to book it, step by step.

Comino from the channel. Four square kilometres, no cars and hardly any shade.

Buġibba, Sliema or Ċirkewwa

The boats do not leave from Valletta. Which harbour suits you depending on your hotel and your pass slot.

In wind the lagoon loses its colour and the boats change plan. Check before booking your slot.
