Nightlife in Albania

Ksamil night clubs

Ksamil, south of Sarandë, is the Riviera's beach-club village: in 2026 Greg, Principotes and Poda ran white parties, French nights and bracelet games, and Greg's club nights went on until 04:30.

Clubs in this zone

Greg Beach Club

The venue with the most nights on the 2026 ticket pages. Sundays were the White Party, dressed in white, from June to August; on other nights Greg ran French rap and urban nights from midnight to 04:30, Move It with reggaeton and dembow, and La Parisienne, which closed the season at 05:00 on 2 September.

Principotes

On Ksamil bay, Principotes is a beach by day and La Guerre, its nightclub, from 22:30, with weekly French, Italian, masked and white nights. In 2026 its Saturdays belonged to The Wolf of Wall Street, and it staged the white Ferragosto Special on 15 August.

Poda

Poda had Love Night, where a coloured bracelet at the door tells everyone your status, and Bad Bunnies, reggaeton and commercial hits on Saturdays. In 2026 its Saturday Love Night came with a shuttle from Sarandë.

Getting back to Sarandë

Ksamil's clubs close in the small hours, so sort out the ride back to Sarandë before the night starts. In 2026 the Poda shuttle left the club at about 03:00; the other venues did not publish a return.

What time do Ksamil clubs close?

In 2026 Greg's club nights ran until 04:30 and La Parisienne until 05:00. The Poda shuttle headed back to Sarandë at about 03:00.

Which Ksamil nights have a dress code?

The white ones: Greg's Sunday White Party and the Ferragosto Special at Principotes both asked for an all-white outfit.

Albania Guide

From day to night

  • The harbour pier in Sarandë on a bright day, with moored motorboats, street lamps and mountains across the water under tall white clouds

    Practical

    Entering Albania with an ID card: the rules for EU travellers

    Albania is outside both the EU and the Schengen area, yet citizens of EU countries can cross its border with nothing more than their national identity card. What decides whether the officer waves you through is how long the card is still valid, which kind of card it is and, for children, a few extra papers.

  • A long pebble beach and turquoise Ionian water below the mountains of Llogara, with a few swimmers and parasols on the shore

    Areas & towns

    Over the Llogara Pass to Dhërmi: fir forest above, pebble beach below

    The Llogara Pass is where the coast road from Vlorë climbs through Llogara National Park before dropping to the Ionian at Dhërmi. Since the tunnel opened, going over the top is a choice rather than a must: here is what the pass gives you, what Dhërmi is like, and how far it all is from Sarandë's nights.

  • The grey stone roofs of Gjirokastër's old bazaar seen from above, with white-walled houses, a narrow street and green trees in the foreground

    By day

    Gjirokastër from Sarandë: a day in Albania's town of stone

    Gjirokastër is the inland half of southern Albania: a UNESCO-listed town of grey stone roofs and tower houses climbing to a castle above the Drinos valley. From Sarandë it fills a full day, and you can still be back on the coast for the night in Sarandë or Ksamil.

Other zones

  • Saranda

    Sarandë is where a Riviera night begins: the boat leaves the promenade at sunset, the resort pools on the bay turn into parties, and Mango Club and Rock & Blues keep the town going into the small hours.
