Kavajë sits just back from the sea, but its coast at Golem and Qerret is known for wide sandy beaches, shallow warm water and pine groves that reach almost to the sand, perfect for families. Buyers here are Albanian and Kosovar families after a holiday base, alongside investors: the long summer season drives strong daily-rental demand, while proximity to Durrës and the airport keeps interest year-round and supports steady capital growth.
Frequent questions
What do properties cost to buy in Kavajë?
Apartments in Golem and Qerret are usually cheaper than in Durrës or the southern coast, making Kavajë an affordable entry point into seaside property. Check the current listings for exact prices.
Is Kavajë a good buy-to-let investment?
Yes. Golem and Qerret draw many Albanian and Kosovar holidaymakers in summer, so beachside apartments see strong daily-rental demand. The season concentrates in the warm months, so income is mostly summer-weighted.
How far is Kavajë from the airport and Durrës?
Tirana International Airport (Rinas) is roughly an hour by car, while Durrës is close by, just a short drive north along the coast. This easy access makes Kavajë convenient as a holiday base.
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.
