5-Star Hotels in Sarande

Facing the Ionian Sea along the Albanian Riviera, Sarandë is a sun-drenched coastal town where relaxed beach days meet fascinating historical day trips. The main draw is its stunning waterfront promenade, lined with cafes and bars perfect for watching the sunset over Corfu. Just a short drive away, you’ll find the extraordinary archaeological site of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage city with ruins spanning from Greek to Venetian eras. For a change of pace, take a local ferry to the pristine beaches of Ksamil, known for their clear, turquoise waters and small offshore islands.

The town is ideal for couples and solo travelers seeking a mix of culture and coastal charm, with a lively but manageable atmosphere. Most visitors stay near the seafront boulevard for easy access to restaurants and the main ferry port, which connects to Corfu. While there’s no airport in Sarandë itself, the city is well-connected by bus along the coastal highway from Tirana, and the Greek island is just a 30-minute ferry ride away.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 93 places to stay in Sarandë, ranging from good-value guesthouses and apartments to modern mid-range hotels with sea views. Luxury resorts are less common here than simple, friendly accommodations that put you right in the heart of the action.
