Albania has some amazing hotels and the great thing is that even the five star ones are excellent value compared to other tourist hotspots in Europe. This video includes the best hotels in the regions I visited, which is mainly seaside beach resorts, apart from capital Tirana. Al are good value luxury hotels...they are:
1. The Sky Hotel, Tirana - this is centrally located and has a great revolving bar at the top of its tower
2. Premium Beach Hotel, Durres - this is a 5* seaside hotel in Durres, only 30 minutes from Tirana. It's got a great beach, food and spa
3. The Marina Bay Hotel & Casino in Vlora - this has an amazing pool and beach and even a casino
4. Bougainville Bay Hotel, Saranda - I LOVED this hotel. It's the best value with amazing facilities including 5 swimming pools, one amazing infinity pool, a stunning beach rooms...they even have Jo Malone toiletries which I LOVE. It's right opposite the Greek island of Corfu
5. Poda Beach Hotel, Ksamil - this is a boutique beach hotel in Ksamil which is considered the 'Maldives of Europe' at the southern tip of the Albanian Riviera. It is a stone's throw from the beach but also has a large pool.
6. Zoe Hora Hotel, Dhermi - Albanian popstar Dua Lipa was the first guest at this amazing hotel in the hills and village of Dhermi. It feels like Provence here with incredible views of the bay from everywhere, including the pool.
ALL the food I ate everywhere was excellent and such good value too...
