Property for Sale in Vlorë, Albania

Vlorë (Vlora) is Albania's third-largest city and the natural starting point of the Albanian Riviera. Built around a wide bay where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet, it combines the services of a real city — hospitals, schools, universities, a port and a busy centre — with kilometres of coastline, a palm-lined promenade and easy access to the beaches of the Riviera to the south. For buyers it offers something rare: a property market that works both as a lifestyle purchase and as a year-round investment.

Why buy property in Vlorë

Three forces are reshaping demand here. First, the new Vlora International Airport at Akërni, a short drive from the centre, is expected to bring direct flights from across Europe and shorten the journey for second-home owners and holidaymakers. Second, the city's seafront has been transformed by a modern Lungomare promenade and a wave of new residential developments. Third, Albania remains one of the most affordable coastlines in the Mediterranean, with no restrictions that prevent most foreign buyers from owning apartments.

Neighbourhoods and lifestyle

The Lungomare is the premium address — contemporary sea-view apartments steps from restaurants, cafés and the water. Behind it, the city centre offers more affordable flats within walking distance of everyday life. To the south, Uji i Ftohtë blends residential living with beaches and springs, while the bay road leads to the resort villages of Radhime and Orikum. Whether you want a rental-ready studio, a family apartment or a sea-view penthouse, Vlorë covers the full range.

Prices (indicative)

As a guide, well-located new-build apartments in Vlorë typically sit in the region of €1,300–2,400 per m², with premium seafront units on the Lungomare reaching higher. Older stock and property set back from the sea is more affordable. Prices move quickly in this market, so treat these figures as indicative and ask us for current, property-specific pricing.

Access and distances

Vlorë is connected to Tirana by the SH4 highway (roughly a 2–2.5 hour drive), has a passenger port with ferries to Italy, and sits about 10 km from the new airport. The Riviera begins immediately to the south, with Radhime around 12 km away and the Llogara pass opening the road to Dhërmi and Sarandë.

Investment and rental market

Vlorë has a genuine dual season: summer tourism drives strong short-term rental demand, while the city's size supports longer lets to students, staff and families. Sea-view apartments on or near the Lungomare are the easiest to rent and resell. With the airport and continued seafront investment, many buyers are purchasing off-plan to secure today's prices ahead of completion.
