Orikum sits where Vlorë's sheltered bay opens toward the Riviera, under the Llogara ridges and facing the Karaburun peninsula. Calm pebble-and-sand beaches, clear water and a small marina make it an easy-going coastal base. Buyers here include Albanian families after a second home, the diaspora, and investors chasing strong summer-let demand and rising values.
Frequent questions
What do properties cost to buy in Orikum?
Apartments set back from the shore are more affordable, while units near the beach or marina and villas with bay views command a premium. Check the current listings for up-to-date figures.
Is Orikum a good buy-to-let investment?
Yes. Summer brings solid demand from visitors who prefer Vlorë's calm bay and the quick reach to the Riviera and Karaburun. Seaside units fill fastest; income is largely seasonal, so size your yield around the active months.
How far is Orikum from Vlorë and the airports?
Orikum is about 15-18 km from central Vlorë, a short drive away. The new Vlorë international airport is being built nearby on the north side of the bay, while Tirana airport is roughly two and a half hours by road.
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.
