Why Seaview Apartments Hold Their Value in the Albanian Riviera

Written by someone who’s lived it, loved it, and still wakes up every day to the sound of the sea.

Let me tell you something I’ve noticed after years of walking clients through properties here in Saranda and Ksamil: the view never gets old.

Seriously. I’ve stood on countless balconies—from high-rise apartments in the city center to cozy hillside retreats in Borsh—and every time, there’s a moment of silence. It’s like people need a few seconds just to absorb the beauty of the Ionian. And I get it. I still feel it too, even after all these years.

Last week, I showed a client a seaview apartment tucked in a quiet corner of Ksamil. You could hear the waves, even in early spring. She turned to me, wide-eyed, and said, “This is where I want to have my morning coffee for the rest of my life.” That kind of reaction? It never gets old.

But here’s the real reason I’m writing this: seaview apartments don’t just make people emotional—they hold their value, and in many cases, increase it. Especially here, in the heart of the Albanian Riviera.

Let me explain why.

There’s Only So Much Coastline

This is something most locals understand without needing a real estate degree. Our coastline isn’t endless. From Saranda to Himara, there’s a limited stretch of land with true, unobstructed sea views. And once it’s built up? That’s it.

In Saranda, for example, the few plots that still offer beachfront or panoramic views are either already under development or priced at a premium. And yet, they still sell. Why? Because when demand keeps rising and supply stays fixed, value holds strong.

If you look at our Luxury Seaview Apartments in Saranda, you’ll notice something—they rarely stay on the market for long. People understand what they’re getting: long-term value, unforgettable views, and that unbeatable Mediterranean light.

A Lifestyle That Sells Itself

Seaview apartments in Saranda aren’t just about what’s outside the window. They’re about how life feels when you live here.

We Albanians have a word: rehat. It loosely means peace or comfort—but it’s more than that. It’s the feeling of being where you’re meant to be, of being at ease. A seaview gives you that. Whether you’re sipping Turkish coffee on your terrace or watching the ferries drift to Corfu, you feel connected to something timeless.

And that’s something buyers—especially foreign ones—pick up on right away. I’ve had clients from Germany, the UK, even Dubai, tell me the same thing: “I didn’t know it was still possible to find something this close to the sea, this affordable.”

Truth is, seaview apartments here are some of the most affordable properties on the Mediterranean coast. Compare us to the French Riviera or the Greek islands, and it’s no contest.

It’s Not Just a View – It’s an Investment

You’d be amazed how many people buy a property here just for the view—and then end up making a solid income from it.

Vacation rentals with sea views get booked faster. They get better reviews. People are willing to pay more, even if the inside is modest, just for that postcard-perfect backdrop.

I always tell my clients: If you’re planning to invest, make sure the apartment faces the water. That extra €10,000 you might spend? It’ll pay you back tenfold over the years.

Take a look at our new Fabeno Residence in Saranda. Modern, well-located, and with sea views from almost every floor. It’s not just a nice place to live—it’s a smart place to invest.
