Bougainville Bay, Sarandë: the sunset pool party's day and hours, and what to bring

In short

Bougainville Bay Resort's Infinity Sunset Pool Party ran on Thursdays in 2026, from 19:00–00:00, around its infinity pool on the edge of Sarandë. The poster gave only the weekday, so no exact dates are known, and nothing for 2027 has been published.

This is the one party on the Riviera held at a resort pool rather than a club, and it starts while it's still light. Here is when it ran, what the page suggests you bring and what kind of place you would be walking into, from the official poster, ticket page and resort website.

When is the Bougainville Bay pool party?

On Thursdays in 2026, from 19:00–00:00: the poster reads 'Thursday, starts 7pm till midnight'. Neither poster nor page gives a first or last date, so we can't say which weeks of the summer it covered.

The party's page carries the poster. A second ticket page advertised an Infinity Pool Party from afternoon to sunset, with deep house and tropical sounds, but it has no date or poster.

What should you bring to the pool party?

Swimwear, since the page invites you to swim, sip and party. It starts at 19:00, so you'll be wet and out of doors as the evening cools, and you may want something warmer for later.

The page sets no dress code, minimum age or pool rules, so check the terms when a new date appears.

What is Bougainville Bay Resort like?

It's a large seafront resort, with hotel rooms, apartments and villas, two restaurants and four bars. Its site promotes sea-water pools with a swim 'over the horizon', and it describes a pool with a panoramic view at Veranda e Zanave.

It's a family place by day, with a Mickey Mouse-shaped pool and a children's pool, so don't picture a nightclub. The party is an evening event inside a working resort.

How do you get to Bougainville Bay?

It's on Rruga Butrinti, the road out of Sarandë towards Ksamil, about 1 km in a straight line from the Vikingen's mooring on the promenade. No transfer was published for the party.

Lost Seaside is about 240 m away on the same road. After midnight, the later clubs are further south: Saranda or Ksamil compares the two towns.

Is the pool party on in 2027?

Nothing has been published: when we last read the ticket listings for Albania, on 31 October 2026, no night was on sale. A new date would appear on the resort's page and the 2027 page.

Quick answers

What time is the Bougainville Bay pool party?

In 2026 the Infinity Sunset Pool Party ran on Thursdays from 19:00–00:00. The official poster read 'starts 7pm till midnight' and the ticket page gave the same hours. Neither listed specific dates, and no 2027 edition has been announced, so treat those times as a guide to the format and not a current schedule.

What should I wear to the Infinity Sunset Pool Party?

The ticket page sets no dress code, but it invites you to swim, sip and party in the pool, so bring swimwear and a towel. The party runs from sunset to midnight, so a layer for later is sensible. No minimum age or pool rule appears on the page or the poster.

Is Bougainville Bay Resort a club?

No. It's a seafront resort with hotel rooms, apartments, villas, two restaurants, four bars and several pools, including a children's pool, according to its website. The pool party was an evening event held there in 2026. If you want a nightclub, look at the clubs of Sarandë and Ksamil.

Where is Bougainville Bay Resort in Sarandë?

On Rruga Butrinti, the road out of Sarandë towards Ksamil, about 1 km in a straight line from the promenade, by the coordinates on the ticket pages. Lost Seaside is about 240 m away on the same stretch. The party's page published no transfer, so plan your own way there and back.
