Why choose a pool when you can go to the beach? Well, this is a very debatable topic. However why argue? Each has its charm, but pools offer a kind of comfort you won’t always find at the shore — crystal-clear water, no waves to battle, and often, a front-row seat to Albania’s most spectacular views. From city skylines to sweeping coastlines and mountain horizons, these pools deliver scenery as refreshing as the swim itself.

Here’s just a small taste of the countless breathtaking pool views waiting for you in Albania.

Arka Rooftop Pool, Tirana

At Arka Art Hotel, you can swim in an infinity pool on the rooftop and take in Tirana’s skyline from above. You float, sip a drink, and see the city stretch out beneath you. It’s easy to slip away from the everyday, all within walking distance of the city center.

La Brisa Boutique Hotel, Dhërmi

It’s especially striking at sunset, when the pool glowing under horizon light serves as the perfect backdrop to a meal or drink.

Arameras Beach Resort, Ksamil

A hillside infinity pool with a direct view over Ksamil’s turquoise waters. It’s quiet in the early morning, making it ideal if you want the view to yourself.

Bougainville Bay, Sarandë

Bougainville Bay’s tiered pools rise above the Ionian. The upper pools give you a wide panorama without the beach crowds. Stay late to watch the lights of Sarandë shimmer across the water.

Zoe Hora, Dhërmi

Zoe Hora offers a hillside pool that overlooks Dhërmi’s coastline. The water meets the horizon, with mountains behind and the Ionian ahead. Late afternoons here feel calm, with only the sound of waves below.

Nobus, Vlorë

On a gentle slope above Vlorë, Nobus’ pool opens onto views of both the bay and the wild Karaburun Peninsula. Sunsets here turn the entire coastline gold, with the city lights slowly sparkling below.
