Harbour Hotel in Saranda 1001, open June–October.
Harbour Hotel stands apart as Saranda's only waterfront venue offering direct Ionian Sea views from both ceremony and reception spaces, with a working hotel integrated into the property rather than a standalone banquet facility.
The venue leverages its strategic port-side location to deliver unobstructed sunset vistas and maritime access that competing inland hotels cannot match.
Guest accommodations are available on-site across 45 rooms, eliminating transfer logistics for your wedding party.
Nice hotel, very clean, modern rooms. Nice view from the balcony. Friendly staff, especially Tom in the reception. However, the “third bed” in the deluxe junior suite was just a normal sofa they put sheets on. Also, the breakfast left some to be desired, there wasn’t much available, and some of the food items weren’t refilled, such as the pancakes and boiled eggs. There was also a lot of wasps around the outdoor seating area.
