Ciao ragazzi, mi chiedevo perché è così tranquillo sull’isola Manoel? Quest’isola è molto centrale a Malta, ma finora ho visto solo che c’è un tennis club, un porto turistico e una fortezza chiusa. Non ci va molta gente e la sera è piuttosto buio. Data l’altissima densità di popolazione di Malta, qual è la “funzione” di quest’isola?
Grazie molto!

Enjoy it whilst it is quiet. Whole island is going to be developed into some dystopian complex and mall soon.
Wish it would stay that way 🙁 there are plans to build a shopping centre, offices, apartments. So it will become like so many other parts of the island. I love that you can walk/bike right in and enjoy the sea with lovely views while not being sold anything. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful. What more could you want right off the noisy Gzira area?
25 years ago the entire island was given away to private developers to build luxury apartments and a hotel there, in return for restoring the fort that is on Manoel island.
The whole island was fenced off by the developers for many years until protestors ripped down the fence a few years ago. Now some people go swim there or walk around, but the whole place is more or less abandoned until works on the apartments start.
The Duck village used to be the highlight!
