About Albania
Albania is a Balkan gem the world is only just beginning to notice. Here, the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea, ancient fortresses stand alongside beach clubs, and contrasts define the landscape — from the timeless beauty of Berat to the vibrant pulse of Tirana, from alpine lakes to the raw wilderness of the Albanian Alps. Still largely untouched by mass tourism, the country offers a rare chance to see Europe differently — unfiltered, unspoiled, and utterly real. Visit now, before the secret gets out.

Main resorts Albania
Durrës is Albania’s most popular coastal resort, where wide sandy beaches stretch along the warm Adriatic Sea. It’s a perfect spot for a family holiday — gentle shores, plenty of cafés, hotels, and summer festivals fill the days with ease and color. The city blends leisure with history: a Roman amphitheater, Byzantine walls, museums, and a seafront that still breathes old Mediterranean charm. Just 30 km from Tirana, Durrës offers a sun-soaked escape where ancient echoes meet the lull of the sea.
Saranda is the jewel of Albania’s Ionian coast, where turquoise waters meet lush green hills. Facing the Greek island of Corfu, this coastal town draws sunseekers, romantics, and lovers of the unhurried southern summer. Saranda is known for its clean beaches, cozy promenades, seafood tavernas, and sunsets that linger above the sea like watercolor. Nearby, you’ll find the ancient city of Butrint, the Blue Eye springs, and hidden coves of the Riviera. It’s a place for those seeking not crowds, but calm, beauty, and southern light.
Vlorë is the city where the Adriatic merges with the Ionian Sea, creating stunning seascapes and a mesmerizing blend of water hues. Known for its wide beaches, modern hotels, and lively seaside promenade, it’s perfect for evening strolls or relaxed moments in waterfront cafés. Vlorë also holds historical weight: it was here that Albania declared its independence in 1912. Nearby, the scenic Karaburun Peninsula and the Narta Lagoon—home to flamingos—add natural charm. It’s an ideal destination for those seeking a beach holiday with a touch of history.
Shëngjin is a cozy, fast-growing resort in northern Albania, embraced by the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea. With its wide sandy beaches, gentle waves, and calm atmosphere, it’s an especially comfortable choice for families with children seeking a peaceful getaway. Surrounded by pine forests and rolling hills, the town also borders the protected Kune-Vain lagoon, a haven for wild birds and rare plant species. Shëngjin is the perfect retreat for travelers looking to escape the crowds and soak in nature, quiet, and authentic local charm.
