This family-owned gem is the kind of place you immediately fall in love with. From the moment we arrived, Maria and her family made us feel like part of theirs. Maria’s cooking is nothing short of magical—think warm cakes at breakfast, freshly filleted fish for dinner, and dishes made with so much love you can taste it. Even my teens, who never willingly wake up early, were setting alarms to make sure they didn’t miss breakfast!
The location? Absolutely perfect. It’s beachfront, but in a peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Yet, it’s just a short walk to all the action when you’re ready to explore. Waking up to the sound of the waves and stepping right onto the private beach every morning? Pure bliss.

The rooms are stylish, comfortable, and spotlessly clean, with views that will leave you speechless. Watching the sunset over dinner was a highlight—it’s hard to imagine a more stunning setting.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. From Maria’s warm hugs to her husband’s happy, accommodating nature, and even meeting their son on our last day, the family’s kindness made our stay extra special. One morning, we had to leave early, and Maria made sure we had breakfast at our ideal hour and even packed snacks for our journey. It’s those thoughtful touches that stay with you long after you’ve checked out.

The restaurant is just as impressive as the rest of the hotel. Generous portions, delicious flavors, and a cozy, family vibe make every meal memorable. Whether it’s a lazy lunch or a sunset dinner, you’ll leave the table full and happy.
If you’re planning a trip to Sarandë, don’t think twice about staying here. Between the stunning beachfront location, the incredible food, and the unbeatable hospitality, Da Luz Boutique Hotel is an experience you’ll want to repeat again and again. Highly, highly recommended!
