Villa Margarit Boutique Hotel in Sarandë 9701, open JuneOctober.

Villa Margarit Boutique Hotel sits directly on Sarandë's beachfront, eliminating the logistical headache of coordinating separate ceremony and reception venues—your guests can walk from the beach to dinner without leaving the property.

This 4.5-star rated hotel offers on-site accommodations, meaning out-of-town guests won't need to arrange separate lodging.

The Ionian Sea backdrop and proximity to Albania's most developed beach town provide both stunning visuals and practical accessibility for destination wedding logistics.

I had the most wonderful stay at this charming family-run hotel! From the moment i arrived, i was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect — always kind, attentive, and happy to help with anything i needed. The service was truly outstanding, far beyond what you’d expect from a hotel of any size. It felt personal, thoughtful, and full of heart. You can tell that the family takes great pride in what they do, and it shines through in every interaction. If you’re looking for a place with comfort, character, and the kindest people you’ll ever meet, this is the perfect choice. I left not only relaxed and happy, but also feeling like i had made new friends. Highly recommended!
