Sarandë curves like an amphitheatre around a clear Ionian bay, looking across a narrow strait to the Greek island of Corfu, with a palm-lined promenade, shingle beaches in glassy water, and Ksamil's white-sand islets a short drive south. Buyers here range from the Albanian diaspora to buy-to-let investors: a long tourist season and proximity to Butrint and the Blue Eye keep occupancy high.
Frequent questions
What do properties cost to buy in Sarandë?
Prices vary with sea view, distance to the promenade and build quality. Apartments set back from the shore are most affordable, while villas and new frontline units with open sea views command a premium, though they remain competitive against the Greek or Italian coasts.
Is Sarandë a good buy-to-let investment?
Yes. As the tourist capital of the Albanian Riviera, Sarandë draws visitors from May to October, giving a long letting season. Properties near the beach, Ksamil and Butrint see high summer occupancy and offer solid income potential alongside ongoing capital growth.
How far is Sarandë from the airport?
Tirana airport is roughly three to four hours' drive north along the improved coastal road. A quicker alternative is Corfu airport in Greece, linked to Sarandë by a short cross-border ferry from the port.
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.
