Property for Sale in Uji i Ftohtë, Vlorë

Uji i Ftohtë ('Cold Water') takes its name from the fresh springs that surface where the hills meet the sea just south of Vlorë's centre. It is one of the city's most established seaside areas — a mix of year-round homes, holiday apartments, beaches, hotels and a seaside promenade — offering a calmer alternative to the Lungomare while staying only minutes from the city.

The appeal

Uji i Ftohtë is where many local families choose to live and where a lot of Vlorë's summer tourism happens. You get swimming beaches, seafront bars and restaurants, and the famous springs, combined with everyday services and quick access to the centre. For buyers it balances lifestyle and value: sea views and beach access at prices that are typically below the front-line Lungomare.

What you can buy

The area offers a broad range — from new-build sea-view apartments and holiday studios to larger family flats and some villas and plots on the hillsides with elevated views over the bay. Rental-ready 1+1 and 2+1 apartments near the water are especially popular.

Prices (indicative)

Expect roughly €1,300–2,200 per m² depending on distance to the sea, floor and finish, with front-line and new developments at the upper end. Hillside plots and older apartments can offer better value for buyers willing to renovate or build. Ask us for current figures on specific buildings.

Access and distances

Uji i Ftohtë sits about 5 km south of Vlorë centre along the coastal road, with the Lungomare a short drive north and the resort villages of Radhime and Orikum continuing south around the bay. The new Vlora airport is within easy reach.

Investment and rentals

With established beaches and a long tourist tradition, Uji i Ftohtë performs well for summer short-term rentals, while its residential character also supports year-round tenants. It suits buyers who want beach access and solid rental potential without paying top-of-market seafront prices.
