Principotes, Ksamil: when La Guerre opens, its Saturdays and what to wear

In short

By its own website, read in October 2026, Principotes turns into the La Guerre nightclub at 22:30, and its Instagram says the club stays open until 05:00. The season runs from May to September, and 2026's Saturdays belonged to The Wolf of Wall Street.

Principotes is a beach by day and a club by night, on the bay of Ksamil, with one name for each. Its website read 'temporarily unavailable' when we checked on 5 November 2026, so the details below come from our reading of it in October 2026, its Instagram and the 2026 posters and ticket pages.

What time does Principotes open at night?

At 22:30, when the website says 'the night begins' at La Guerre, and the Instagram profile adds that the club stays open until 05:00. Those are the venue's general hours, not the times of any one party.

The season it gives is May to September, so don't plan on it outside those months.

Are Principotes and La Guerre the same place?

Yes: 'By day, Principotes. By night, La Guerre.' is how the venue itself puts it. The beach and restaurant go by one name and the nightclub by the other, on the same site.

Don't mix it up with La Guerre at Mango Club in Sarandë. That was a French-against-Italian party, and it shares nothing but the name, as the French nights of 2026 explains.

What nights does Principotes have?

In 2026 the posters gave it two: Saturdays went to The Wolf of Wall Street, except mid-August, when the Ferragosto white party took over. The ticket page sold the first as champagne and premium vibes by the sea, asking you to channel your inner Jordan Belfort.

Its own site also lists weekly soirées at La Guerre without naming the days. Ask before you plan around one of them.

NightWhenWhat the page promised
The Wolf of Wall StreetSaturdays, June to August 2026Champagne, high-energy music by the sea
The White Party, Ferragosto SpecialSaturday, 15 August 2026All white, champagne, summer anthems
French Night, Notte Italiana, Masquerade, White PartyWeekly, days not publishedThemed soirées listed on the venue's site

What should you wear to Principotes?

White on the white nights, and the rest is unwritten. The Ferragosto page said to dress strictly in white, and the venue's list marks its White Party 'All White Dress Code'.

The Wolf of Wall Street page set no dress code, despite the theme, and no page gives a minimum age. Our white parties story covers what all-white means in practice.

How do you get to Principotes and back?

By road down the coast, about 12 km in a straight line from the Sarandë promenade. Its address is Ksamil Bay, and the Instagram gives Rruga Riviera; Greg Beach Club is about 900 m away.

No page published a transfer, and with a club open until 05:00 you should agree the ride home before you go. Don't send a driver to the Princi Potes hotel by mistake: it is a different business.

Is Principotes open in 2027?

No 2027 programme has been published. No night was on sale when we last read the listings for Albania, on 31 October 2026, and the venue's website is offline for now, so its page and the 2027 page will carry the dates once they exist.

Quick answers

What time does Principotes Ksamil open?

Its nightclub, La Guerre, opens at 22:30, according to the venue's website when we read it in October 2026, and its Instagram says the club stays open until 05:00. The season runs from May to September. The website was temporarily offline on 5 November 2026, so confirm the hours again before you go.

Is La Guerre part of Principotes?

Yes. The venue describes itself as 'By day, Principotes. By night, La Guerre.', so the beach and the nightclub share one site on the bay of Ksamil. La Guerre is also the name of a different 2026 party at Mango Club in Sarandë, which has nothing to do with this club.

What is the Wolf of Wall Street party in Ksamil?

It was the Saturday party at Principotes in June, July and August 2026. The ticket page promised flowing champagne and high-energy music by the sea and invited guests to channel their inner Jordan Belfort. It printed no start time or dress code, and the Saturday of 15 August went to the white party instead.

Is there a dress code at Principotes?

Only on the white nights: the 2026 Ferragosto page asked guests to dress strictly in white, and the venue lists its White Party with an all-white code. The other pages set no rule that we can quote, not even the Wolf of Wall Street. No page states a minimum age either.

How do I get back to Sarandë from Principotes?

You need your own arrangement. Principotes is on the bay of Ksamil, about 12 km in a straight line from the Sarandë promenade, and none of its pages published a transfer or a late bus. With the club open until 05:00, agree a ride before you go instead of counting on finding one afterwards.

Are Principotes dates for 2027 out?

Not yet. No 2027 night was on sale when we last read the listings for Albania, on 31 October 2026, and the venue's website showed a holding page on 5 November 2026. Its stated season is May to September, so that is when to look, but no 2027 date has been confirmed by the venue itself.
