Why distance matters
On the sand, or 300 metres back? It changes the price and the letting.
Two homes on the same beach can differ by 40% per square metre because of a two-minute walk. We split the coast into bands so you can see what you are paying for.
Seafront, first line
Nothing between the building and the water. The highest rate per m² on any stretch, the strongest summer rents, and the addresses that hold value best. 5 projects on this site.
Steps away, or 250 to 350 m back
One block, or a few minutes' walk to the sand. Most of the Durrës Riviera stock sits here at €1,050 to €1,700 per m², which is where the price-to-rent maths is usually best. 10 projects.
A short walk, in town
Vlorë's Lungomare or the Qerret back streets: a real town around you and a walk to the beach. Longer season, easier year-round letting. 2 projects.
Distances are those stated in each developer's release pack, quoted as given. Where a pack states none we say "on request" and measure it for you before you reserve. How the ranking works.
The case for buying off-plan on the coast
Fixed price per m² while the building goes up.
You reserve at today's rate, pay in stages against construction, and take the keys into a rental market that fills every summer. The projections below are Albania Housing's own, from reservation price to the first rental season and to completion.

Where the beachfront homes are
Four coasts, very different prices.
Most of the stock is on the Durrës Riviera because that is where Albania is building. The Bay of Vlorë, the Riviera and the northern coast each have a reason to be on the list.

How it works
Three steps from this page to the keys.
1
Pick the distance and the budget
Tell us how close to the sand you want to be and what all-in budget you have. We send the current price list and available units for the projects that fit, usually the same day.
2
Check it, then reserve
Title, permits and your specific unit are checked before you pay anything. You reserve at the fixed rate per m² and pay in stages against construction, with everything handled remotely or on a viewing trip.
3
Take the keys, or the bookings
At handover you move in, or the building's operator lets it for you. Albania Housing's own project managers stay on the ground throughout.

Beachfront questions, answered plainly
Can a foreigner buy a beachfront apartment in Albania?
Yes. Apartments and houses near the sea are bought and owned in your own name, like any other home in Albania. The one nuance is the coastal land strip itself: a band of roughly 200 metres from the shore has its own regime, handled through a company or a long lease rather than direct personal title. That affects land and villa plots, not an apartment in a coastal development. Albania Housing explains it in full in the 200 m coastal rule guide.
How much does beachfront property in Albania cost?
Across the projects on this site, new-build coastal homes run from €1,050 to €2,300 per square metre, with entry prices from €45,100 for a small apartment a few hundred metres from the sand. First-line seafront addresses sit at the top of that range. The prices page lists every project side by side.
What does "beachfront" mean on this site?
We use it for the whole coastal strip, then tell you exactly where each home sits: on the seafront, steps from the beach, a stated 250 to 350 metres back, or a short walk. Every distance comes from the developer's own release pack; where a pack does not state one we say "on request" rather than guess. How we rank distance.
What does Albania Housing charge?
A 3% buyer fee on the purchase price, stated up front, charged as your intermediary. Notary, registration and legal costs are separate and modest; the cost guide sets them out line by line.
Can I rent a beachfront home out?
Yes, and most buyers here plan to. The Albanian coast is a summer market, so model the season honestly rather than a July weekend. Rental income is taxed at 15% on the net. The apart-hotel projects on this site come with an operator who handles bookings, cleaning and guests. See the rental yields guide for real figures by location.
Is it safe to buy off-plan on the Albanian coast?
It is safe when the developer's permits and the legal existence of your specific unit are confirmed before you pay, and when payments are staged against construction. That is what Albania Housing's due diligence covers on every project listed here. Is it safe to buy property in Albania? covers title, cadastre and the scams to avoid.
