Vlora's BEST Beachfront Apartment: Stunning Lungomare Views!
Vlora's BEST Beachfront Apartment: Stunning Lungomare Views! - The Honest, Messy Review You NEED Before You Book
Okay, listen up, because I'm about to spill the Albanian tea on Vlora's "BEST Beachfront Apartment: Stunning Lungomare Views!" This isn't some dry, corporate brochure. This is your future vacation survival guide, straight from someone who's been there, done that, and probably left a trail of sunscreen and questionable decisions in their wake.
First things first: The View. Oh. My. God. Forget everything else for a sec. The Lungomare views? They're not just "stunning." They're jaw-dropping stunning. You wake up, throw open those curtains, and BOOM! Crystal clear turquoise water, the hazy mountains in the distance, the whole damn Mediterranean Sea spread out before you. Seriously, I spent, like, a solid hour just staring out the window the first morning, muttering, "Is this real life?" (It was, and it was glorious.)
Accessibility & Cleanliness: The Essentials (and the Slightly Less Essentials)
Let's get practical. Accessibility is a big deal for some, and while this place boasts "facilities for disabled guests," I didn't give them a thorough once-over. I'd recommend contacting the property directly to confirm specifics.
Cleanliness: Okay, here’s the truth bomb. The apartment was clean. Maybe not sterile-hospital clean, but definitely livable and sparkling. They touted “Anti-viral cleaning products” and “Rooms sanitized between stays” and the "Daily disinfection" (honestly, these are essential now, aren't they?). I think the fact the place smelled fresh was most noticeable. They also had loads of hand sanitizer, a welcome touch (especially after touching all those elevator buttons). They even left some individual hand sanitizer! I'm a germophobe, and I survived!
Safety & Security: "CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Front desk [24-hour], security [24-hour]" are all good signs. But honestly? Felt ridiculously safe. Vlora itself is pretty chilled out.
Internet & Tech Headaches (or Lack Thereof)
Wi-Fi in all rooms? CHECK! Free Wi-Fi? DOUBLE CHECK! I needed to work a bit while I was there, and the Wi-Fi was reliably strong, which is crucial if you’re like me and need to upload thousands of photos and videos.
Rooms, Glorious Rooms (and the Little Things)
Okay, let's get inside.
- Air Conditioning: Essential. Thank goodness.
- Blackout Curtains: Blissful. Slept like a baby.
- Coffee/Tea Maker: Crucial for my sanity. Complimentary tea? Yes, please!
- Mini-Bar: Yeah, it was there. Used it, probably more than I should admit. Wine with a view is hard to resist.
- Desk, Laptop Workspace: Worked like a charm.
- Bathroom the bathroom had everything you'd expect: towels, toiletries, the whole shebang.
- The little things? Bathrobes and slippers, people! And a window that opens! (important to me)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Fun
This is where things get interesting. They have a LOT to offer, I want to try and make it through them all:
- Restaurants
- They have a restaurant and offer, "A la carte in restaurant" and "International cuisine in restaurant". I didn't try the restaurant, but I saw the menu, and it looked appealing.
- They also have a "Poolside bar" This is where I spent most of my time.
- And, a "Snack bar", which if I needed a quick nibble. I loved the convenience.
- Breakfast
- "Breakfast [buffet]" and "Western breakfast" is what I chose and it was great.
- Plus, you can have "Breakfast in room" or get a "Breakfast takeaway service", if you want to be lazy.
- They also have an "Asian breakfast".
- Drinks
- They have a "Bar", which is great.
- And serve "Bottle of water" (which is essential)
- And, a "Coffee/tea in restaurant" (I needed this)
- And a "Happy hour" (when in Vlora!)
- "Poolside bar" (that one again!)
Things To Do, Ways To Relax, and (Possibly Overpriced) Pampering
Alright, let's talk indulgence.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The pool was gorgeous. Seriously. Infinity edge, overlooking the sea. The perfect place to laze around with a cocktail.
- Fitness center: I intended to use the gym. I really did. But, you know… cocktails and lounging won out.
- Spa/sauna & Massage: I did treat myself to a massage because, why not? It was…fine. Not life-changing, but relaxing. The spa looked pretty well-equipped with “Body scrub”, “Body wrap”, “Steamroom”, “Sauna”, “Spa”.
- For the Kids: They had "Babysitting service", "Family/child friendly", "Kids facilities", "Kids meal".
- Things to enjoy The apartment is on the "Lungomare" so it is a short walk to everything. Which makes "Getting around" easy! They also offer "Airport transfer, Taxi service".
Services & Conveniences – The Good, the Okay, and… Well, You Know
- Room Service: The 24-hour room service was a lifesaver. Late-night cravings? Sorted.
- Concierge: Helpful, friendly. They were happy to recommend restaurants and arrange excursions.
- Daily Housekeeping: The room was spotless every day.
- Laundry/Dry Cleaning: Did not use. I believe they use the "Hot water linen and laundry washing".
- Food delivery: This is essential nowadays, because I'm lazy.
- Cashless payment service: Great!
- Meeting/banquet facilities & Event Hosting: This is great for the business side, if needed.
- Other: On site there is a "Convenience store", "Gift/souvenir shop", "Safety deposit boxes", "Cash withdrawal", "Car park [free of charge]", "Luggage storage", "Air conditioning in public area", "Elevator", "Doorman"
The Imperfections - Because I’m Human
No place is perfect. Here’s the honest truth:
- The Food: The food was good, but not amazing. Maybe I'm just spoiled.
- The Prices: The "Spa" prices, while not insane, were a touch on the high side. Shop around, maybe?
- Minor Noise: You are on the "Lungomare" so there will inevitably be some noise from the street. But it wasn't disruptive and I was always able to sleep.
The Verdict: Should You Book It?
YES! Absolutely. Despite those minor gripes, Vlora's BEST Beachfront Apartment is a winner. The combination of that mind-blowing view, the comfort, convenient amenities, and the general feeling of laid-back luxury makes it a perfect base for exploring Vlora and surrounding areas.
My Emotional Reaction? Pure, unadulterated joy! I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and already plotting my return.
My Score? 9 out of 10. Minus one point for the slightly-longer-than-I-expected check-in process. But that view… that view is worth its weight in gold. And that’s coming from someone who hates getting up early.
P.S. Don't forget to try the seafood. You won't regret it. And pack your swimsuit! You'll be spending a LOT of time in that pool.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the utter chaos… I mean, wonder… that is my pretend trip to the At the Beach Lungomare apartment in Vlora, Albania. Forget perfect Instagram posts, this is the real, slightly sandy, slightly sunburned, and highly opinionated travel log.
Day 1: Arrival! (Expectations vs. Reality… Spoiler: Reality wins)
Morning (ish): Wake up in a state of mild existential dread, as I always do when I travel. Flights. Ugh. That whole "birds eye view" is lost on me when I'm crammed between a snoring dude and a screaming child. Finally, TOUCHDOWN! Tirana Airport. Glorious, chaotic Tirana. Grabbed a taxi and realized my Albanian is as good as my ability to tap dance on hot coals (nonexistent). My taxi driver spoke about as much English as I do Albanian, which is to say, a few jumbled words and a lot of hopeful gestures. He was a chatty type for sure.
Afternoon: Reached the Lungomare apartment in Vlora. The photos online? They lied. Beautifully, subtly lied. It's not quite as pristine as I envisioned. There's a slightly weird smell… I'm blaming the salt air, but deep down, I suspect it's "that one drawer" in the kitchen. The view, thankfully, is killer. Seriously, the Adriatic Sea is a turquoise masterpiece. Plonked my bags down, practically ran out to the balcony and shouted "I'm here, world! And I'm going to eat all the burek!"
Evening: Dinner at a local taverna, and the taste of Albanian food is incredible! The owner's grandkids kept trying to steal my food. Sat there, listening to the waves. It was beautiful and chaotic all at once.
Day 2: Lungomare Life (and the Cult of the Beach)
Morning: Woke up to the sun beating down and a persistent desire to eat breakfast. My main goal for today: become one with the Lungomare lifestyle. Headed out to the beach. The sand feels amazing, but the sun, oh the sun is a beast! I'm a lobster in disguise already. The waves are gentle, not too strong, not too weak. Perfect for floating and contemplating the meaning of life (or just wondering what's for lunch).
Afternoon: Got into a deep, passionate, one-sided conversation with a seagull. He kept staring me down, like he was judging my swimming technique. I can't even begin to imagine what that seagull's daily life is like. I'd actually like to learn how to fly in the sea gull style. Got some ice cream. It melted. Cried for the ice cream.
Evening: The evening was spent at the beach bar and tried to learn some Albanian phrases while making small talk with a local. I went home happy.
Day 3: Vlora City Tour! (Or, Getting Lost on Purpose)
Morning: Decided to be a responsible tourist. Headed into Vlora town center. It's a charming mix of old and new, with crumbling buildings and swanky cafes side-by-side. Found an ancient ruin. Thought about the history. Decided I'd rather just get a coffee.
Afternoon: Got hopelessly, gloriously lost. Wandered the backstreets, soaking up the atmosphere, the smells (good ones and questionable ones), and the general vibe. Found a tiny bakery and bought pastries I couldn't even pronounce. Ate them anyway. Delicious mistake.
Evening: Found a hidden bar with live music. The band was phenomenal, the drinks were flowing, and I attempted (and failed) to dance like a local. I don't know how the Albanians get so light on their feet. They're practically skipping!
Day 4: Foodie Fun (and the Burek Obsession)
Morning: The day began with a mission: to find the perfect burek. I spent hours cafe-hopping, sampling this flaky, savory goodness. The pastry, the cheese, the spinach… each bite a revelation! I may have eaten my weight in burek. Okay, maybe not, but I certainly felt like it.
Afternoon: More beach time. Because, duh. Then, in a moment of sheer brilliance (or maybe sheer laziness), I decided to see if I could order a pizza delivery. That was a mistake. The pizza was cold, the delivery guy looked suspiciously at me as I tried to pay him with a handful of loose change.
Evening: Went back for more burek. And maybe a little bit of ice cream. No regrets.
Day 5: Farewell, Albania (sob!)
Morning: Woke up with a SERIOUS beach craving and a deep, soul-crushing sadness that it was all ending. One last swim. One last look at the glorious Adriatic.
Afternoon: Packing. The worst part of a trip. I somehow managed to acquire about three times the clothing I started with, along with various shells, rocks, and questionable souvenirs. I left my heart in Albania.
Evening: Taxi to the airport. Thinking about all things of this trip and starting to plan the next one!
