Illyrian Boutique Hotel in Saranda 9701, open JuneOctober.

Guests arrive in Saranda to discover a waterfront boutique hotel where Adriatic views meet Albanian hospitality.

Stone archways and Mediterranean light frame intimate gatherings, while the hotel's 16 rooms ensure your closest family sleeps steps from celebration.

Here, every arrival feels personal, every moment deliberately designed.

Conveniently located close to the action. The hotel itself has clean and spacious rooms with a very hospitable staff. We enjoyed our short stay and would recommend this place for small families.
