Guests arrive at Buzë Hotel to discover a waterfront property where the Ionian Sea frames every moment—from the ceremony setup on the terrace to the reception beneath open skies.
The hotel's 4.9-star rating reflects its reputation for hosting intimate gatherings with full-service accommodations, allowing your wedding party to stay, celebrate, and wake up together without the logistics of coordinating separate hotels.
This Saranda location puts you steps from Albania's most dramatic coastline, where Mediterranean light and clear waters become your natural backdrop.
We were here late fall, off season, and the hotel had few customers. The staff were very helpful. Our room was on one of the mid to high floors, looking out over the sea, and it was magical. The room was very nice, clean, and roomy. We had several memorable drinks on the deck overlooking their beach, watching the sunset. Their beach and restaurant are only for guests, which is a major plus. The beach, while fairly small, offers plenty of space and easy entrance to the water. We didn't eat there due to a mix-up on our part, but it sounded good. There are also good restaurants nearby, and free parking. The whole area around them is built up, so they are quiet but surrounded and crowded in by other places.
