Discover the Best
Durrës is Albania's classic seaside resort, where the Adriatic Sea meets ancient history – and where a new, sophisticated range of luxury hotels has firmly established itself. Iconic beachfront hotels sit alongside newly opened resorts in pine-shaded coves, complete with private beaches, world-class spas and elegant rooms with sweeping sea views. Several all-inclusive hotels are also available in Durrës. The level of service is personal, the atmosphere refined, and the pricing often considerably more appealing than at many of the more familiar Mediterranean destinations. For travellers seeking to combine a proper beach holiday with genuine comfort, high standards and a sense of tranquillity, Durrës is a remarkably compelling choice.

Attentive service in a relaxed yet distinctly exclusive setting
Our Selection Criteria
Standards and ratings
Our selection is based primarily on hotels with a clear five-star profile in Durrës and its nearest premium areas. We have prioritised hotels that combine consistently strong guest satisfaction, reliable quality over time, and a standard of rooms, spa facilities, pools and service befitting the discerning luxury traveller. Hotels with persistently high reviews and a well-established premium reputation have been weighted most heavily.
Distinctive advantages
We have also looked carefully at what genuinely sets each hotel apart in practice: private beaches, larger pool complexes, indoor pools, signature spas, multiple restaurants, adults-only areas, private pools or particularly appealing suite categories. A luxury hotel in Durrës should not merely look impressive in photographs; it should deliver a tangibly elevated experience throughout one's entire stay.
Location and surroundings
Location has also played a significant role in our assessment. Certain hotels stand out for their direct beachfront position in established resort areas, others for their more secluded settings in Lalëz Bay, or for their proximity to the restaurants and sights of central Durrës. We have therefore carefully weighed seclusion, proximity to the sea, views and access to local amenities against the type of luxury experience each hotel actually delivers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, particularly if you're after a five-star beach holiday with spa, pool and private beach in a more laid-back setting than many of the established premium resorts around the Mediterranean.
That rather depends on what you're looking for. Classic beach holidays are best served along the Durrës coastline, quieter resort luxury is found in Lalëz Bay, and a more town-oriented premium feel can be had around Currila and the town centre.
Yes – a private beach or reserved beach area is one of the most common features in Durrës's luxury segment, and forms an integral part of the overall experience.
Both, in truth. Certain hotels are particularly well suited to families, thanks to expansive pool areas and a proper resort set-up, whilst others appeal more to couples seeking spa facilities, quieter surroundings and more private premium categories.
Dedicated adults-only hotels are not the norm, but several resorts do offer adults-only zones or specific room categories with a more secluded, premium feel.
For the destination, the standard is generally very good. The best hotels offer indoor pools, saunas, hammams, massage and well-considered wellness environments that hold up well throughout a longer resort stay.
May, June and September are often the finest months if you wish to combine warm weather, better availability and a more relaxed atmosphere. July and August are the most popular and consequently the busiest.
For the peak summer season, booking at least two to four months ahead is advisable. For suites, sea-view rooms or the most sought-after resorts, booking even earlier is strongly recommended.
It does feature, particularly at the larger resorts, though by no means all luxury hotels operate on that basis. Always check in advance whether breakfast, half-board or spa access is included.
