Golem stretches between Durrës and Kavajë along a long, shallow beach of fine sand fringed with pines — gentle water that families love. It is one of the coast's busiest summer destinations, which is exactly why buyers choose it: steady holiday-rental demand and solid potential for capital growth. Purchasers here range from Albanian families and diaspora owners wanting a summer base to buy-to-let investors.
Frequent questions
What do properties cost to buy in Golem?
Units near the shoreline command a premium over those a few streets inland. Check the current listings for the exact range.
Is Golem a good buy-to-let investment?
Yes — the busy tourist season drives strong short-term summer rental demand, especially for apartments near the sandy beach. Income concentrates in the warm months, so annual occupancy is seasonal, but peak-summer yields are attractive.
How far is Golem from the airport and Tirana?
Golem is roughly half an hour by car from Tirana Airport and about an hour from central Tirana, with Durrës city just a few kilometres away. This quick access makes it convenient for both weekend getaways and rental guests.
Can a foreigner buy property in Albania?
Yes. Foreign individuals can freely buy apartments and buildings in Albania in their own name, with no citizenship or residency requirement. Agricultural land is the main exception: foreigners cannot own it directly, but may access it through a local company or a long-term lease.
How does the buying process work and what does it cost?
Purchases are finalised before a public notary, who verifies title, then registered at the State Cadastre Agency (ASHK). Budget for notary fees, a property transfer tax of roughly two to three percent of the reference value, and modest ASHK registration fees. Registration usually takes a few weeks.
Does buying property help with a residence permit?
Owning property can support an Albanian residence permit application, typically issued for one year and renewable. Property ownership alone does not grant automatic citizenship. Recent amendments to the law on foreigners may set minimum investment thresholds, so confirm current requirements with Albanian immigration authorities before relying on them.
Why invest in the Albanian coast?
The Albanian coast benefits from fast-growing tourism, with record visitor numbers and surging short-let demand. Coastal short-term rentals commonly target high single-digit to low double-digit gross yields, while prices remain well below neighbouring Mediterranean markets. New infrastructure, including Vlora airport, supports continued interest.
How are rental income and capital gains taxed?
Rental income earned by individuals is generally taxed at a flat fifteen percent, with certain maintenance and management expenses deductible. Profit on resale is subject to capital gains tax, also fifteen percent on the difference between purchase and sale price. Keep documentation to support any deductible costs.
