Weather in February: Average high 14.7°C, 66.2mm rainfall.

# Comino in February: Pretty Much Just You and the Rocks

Let’s be honest about what you’re getting here. Comino in February is essentially a ghost island. The handful of permanent residents rattles around to maybe four or five people, the one hotel is completely shut, and the famous Blue Lagoon — that impossibly turquoise cove that fills your Instagram feed — will be almost entirely yours. Whether that sounds like paradise or a bit bleak depends entirely on what you’re after.

The weather sits around 14-15°C, which feels perfectly mild if you’re escaping northern European winter, but genuinely chilly when a wind comes off the water, which it frequently does in February. Pack a proper jacket rather than just a light layer. The 66mm of rainfall means you’ll likely see at least a few grey, drizzly days during a week’s stay — not constant rain, but enough that you can’t just assume sunshine. When the sun does appear though, the light on that water is genuinely something else.

Crowds are basically nonexistent. The summer ferry services running constantly from Malta and Gozo are reduced to a skeleton schedule, so double-check timings carefully or you’ll be stranded longer than planned. There’s essentially nothing commercially open on the island itself — no cafés, no restaurants, no tourist infrastructure whatsoever. Bring everything you need.

Is it worth it? For hikers, photographers, birdwatchers, and anyone who actively enjoys solitude and dramatic, slightly melancholy landscapes, absolutely yes. Walking the island’s trails with nobody around and watching migrating birds pass through is genuinely special. For anyone expecting beach holiday vibes or easy convenience, genuinely no — you’ll just feel the absence of everything that makes it lively.

**Practical tip:** Don’t rely on the Blue Lagoon boat services alone. Contact a water taxi operator in Gozo directly and confirm your return pick-up time before you step off the boat. February scheduling is inconsistent and you do not want to improvise this particular detail on a cold February afternoon with nothing open and your phone losing battery.
