Hotels in SARANDA

For a taste of the Albanian Riviera, look to Saranda. This sun-drenched port curves around a horseshoe bay, facing the Greek island of Corfu just a short ferry ride away. The main draw is the spectacular Ionian coastline, with beaches like Mirror Beach and Ksamil’s archipelago of tiny islets just south of town. History is close by, too; the ancient ruins of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are an essential half-day trip through layers of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history.

Saranda is ideal for sun-seekers and couples, with a relaxed pace that also works for families. The main promenade, Rruga Mitat Hoxha, is the heart of the action, lined with cafes and perfect for evening strolls. Staying near here puts everything within walking distance. The city is well-connected, served by Tirana International Airport about a three-hour drive north, with frequent ferries from Corfu arriving right in the center.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around ten hotels in Saranda, ranging from good-value guesthouses and apartments to modern seafront hotels with pools. Accommodation is generally mid-range and practical, with a few boutique options appearing, while the nearby Ksamil area offers more resort-style stays directly on the sand.
