Beach on a Budget: Five Top Spots

In these tough financial times, you absolutely shouldn’t skimp on your vacation but, instead, find some much-needed respite in the safe and budget-friendly options we have carefully selected below.

Selecting the most budget-friendly beach in Albania is a daunting task as most destinations offer a variety of accommodation, ranging from luxury hotels to camping. As such, with a little creativity, you can always find cheap ways to spend time even at the most beautiful and luxurious of beaches. A little investigation never hurts, however. IntoAlbania has gone through and selected the best prices for the service offered in the countless beaches of the Albanian coast and come up with the following short list of economic options that are comfy and still gorgeous. Take a look.

Velipoja

One of the locals’ favorite beaches of the northern (i.e. Adriatic) coast is miraculously also one of the most economic options. This summer, you can skip the rocky Ionian shores and opt for the soft and calming sandy beach of Velipoja. Both hotels and apartments here offer very reasonable options starting from 1300 ALL/night for a two-room apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, only a few steps from the beach.

Spille

Located relatively near the capital, Spille is one of the most quietly popular beaches of the entire coast. Never overly populated and with plenty of space for all visitors, this tranquil beach would be an ideal spot to visit right now. For an apartment with all utilities and proximity to the beach, starting prices are 3000 ALL/night.

Orikum

The farther south one goes into Albania, the steeper the prices. The Riviera undoubtedly boasts the country’s most beautiful waters and the prices are often a reflection of this beauty. However, there is one exception: Orikum. After you pass Vlora but before you get to the other side of Llogara, Orikum also boasts a great location that is still on the spectacular Ionian coast. Orikum has a healthy equilibrium between quality and price with apartments starting at 3900 ALL/night.

Borsh

Because of its extralong coastline, Borsh offers many rest stops along the way, most of which are more economical than those of neighboring beaches. Year after year, this beach has resisted commercialization and has retained its identity as the preferred, affordable destination for both families and large groups of friends. An apartment in Borsh starts at 3100 ALL/night and the Ionian is as gorgeous as ever.

Lin

For a refreshing escape from the heat, a dip in the sweet water of the lake, and a taste of village life, Lin is the most ideal. For years under Pogradec’s shadow, Lin has suddenly caught everyone’s attention and has rightly become a glorious option for idyllic long holidays. Fortunately, the picturesque village offers many high-quality and economical accommodation options. For instance, a room for two at a B&B starts at 3000 ALL/night.
