The Albanian Riviera is located on Albania’s southwest coast, directly over the Adriatic Sea from Puglia in Italy. It is peppered with powder-soft beaches and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Even in the height of summer, you may still find a secluded beach here, albeit it isn’t as unspoiled as it previously was. In light of this, below are the top hotels along the Albanian Riviera that can all be reserved through Culture Trip.
Marina Premium
When looking to combine city conveniences with a beach vacation, Marina Premium is the ideal option. It overlooks Valour beach and is only a short stroll from some of the top restaurants and bars in the area. There are snorkeling, sea fishing, and cycling opportunities here; after an action-packed day, unwind in your light-filled, roomy room. If you’re hungry, head over to La Logetta, a pizzeria that serves genuine Neapolitan pizza.
A&G Hotel
A&G Hotel, which is perched on the Valour seashore and offers sea views, is conveniently situated. Although it isn’t the biggest hotel in the neighbourhood, its attentive staff more than makes up for its size. Additionally, it offers a variety of cosy rooms and suites, each of which has a hot tub. Additionally, the hotel includes a secluded section of beach with plenty of sun loungers if you want even more leisure.
Hotel Utopia
A short distance from Paradise Beach, Hotel Utopia offers contemporary lodging with a view of Ksamil’s crystal-clear seas. Standard features include balconies, and family rooms with cribs are available. The white cabanas on the hotel’s private beach are a nice perk. When dusk falls, go up to the terrace bar surrounded by olive trees for a sundowner.
Illyrian Boutique Hotel
The Illyrian, a boutique hotel on Sarand’s north shore, is among the best in the region because of its elegant rooftop patio and contemporary white rooms. Epidemic, the outstanding on-site restaurant, offers a blend of traditional Albanian fare and Mediterranean favourites. During your stay, breakfast and parking are complimentary.
Yacht Hotel
The appropriately called Yacht Hotel is a chic alternative on the riverfront, towering over Vlor beach like a huge wind-filled sail. Luminous floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light in the roomy suites. The on-site cafe serves breakfast; at 11 am, you can look forward to barista coffee and delectable pastries. If you wish to fully enjoy the exciting nightlife in the neighbourhood, the Yacht Hotel is conveniently located just steps from coastal bars and eateries.
Hotel Summer Dream
Grab a sunbed for a peaceful afternoon at Hotel Summer Dream, which is just a few sandy-footed steps away from Drymades Beach’s crystal-clear seas. Some of the hotel rooms have very nice sea views, but others are fairly plain and decorated in a subdued palette of black, white, and grey. Visit the adjacent Lucianos for a top-notch seafood selection for dinner.
Bougainville Bay Hotel
You should get a room at Bougainville Bay if you’re seeking a spa retreat in Strand. With three pools, three restaurants, a kids’ play area, and the option to book scuba diving, snorkelling, and fishing trips through the hotel, it has more of a feel of a resort. The spa, which offers a variety of massages and aesthetic treatments and has a sauna, hammam, and hydromassage bath in the shape of a flower, is a highlight. Additionally, Bougainville Bay showcases displays of vibrant artwork created by regional artists.
Hotel Oasis
Hotel Oasis is the ideal location for a peaceful retreat, as it is perched elegantly above the lake in Strand. It’s the greatest combination of cosy guest accommodations and a prominent position, only steps from a beautiful white-sand beach and with good transportation links to the surrounding area. Make sure to order the local, daily-delivered fresh seafood from the on-site restaurant.
Hotel Luxury
Hotel Luxury is an excellent starting point for visiting the magnificent lagoons and Roman ruins of the Unesco-protected area because it is located at the entrance of Butrint National Park. Simple double rooms in the hotel include balconies, many of which have views of the ocean. After a day of trekking around the national park, relaxing on the sun terrace below with an ice-cold beer is the ideal way to wind down.
