Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Albania is rapidly emerging as Europe’s best-kept secret for luxury real estate. In 2025, the Albanian Riviera, with its turquoise waters, pristine beaches and vibrant cultural scene, is captivating high-net-worth individuals seeking unparalleled lifestyle and investment opportunities. At Folie Village, our exclusive villas in the iconic Bay of Jalë redefine luxury living, offering five-star amenities, breathtaking seafront views and a gateway to Albania’s burgeoning luxury market. This is your invitation to discover why Albania’s luxury real estate is the ultimate destination for discerning buyers and how Folie Village stands at the forefront of this exciting transformation.
The Rise of Albania’s Luxury Real Estate Market
Albania’s luxury real estate market is experiencing an unprecedented boom, driven by a confluence of factors that make it a standout investment destination. In 2024, Albania welcomed 11.7 million tourists, an 80% surge from 2019, fueling demand for high-end properties along the Albanian Riviera. Coastal areas like Sarandë, Vlorë and Dhërmi have seen luxury property prices rise by 12 – 15% year-over-year, with rental yields reaching 8 – 10% annually. The residential real estate market is projected to reach €82.45 billion in 2025, growing at 6.08% annually through 2029, signaling robust investor confidence.
What’s driving this growth? Albania’s strategic location, affordable luxury compared to traditional Mediterranean hotspots like France or Italy, and a favorable investment climate are key. Unlike its pricier neighbors, Albania offers high-end villas at a fraction of the cost, with significant room for appreciation. The country’s ongoing EU accession talks and infrastructure developments, including new airports and highways, further enhance its appeal. Add to this the absence of restrictions on foreign property ownership, and Albania becomes a magnet for international buyers from Italy, Germany, the UAE, and even the United States.
The luxury segment, in particular, is thriving. High-profile investors, including names like Jared and Ivanka Trump and Dubai-based Emaar Group, are eyeing Albania’s coastline for upscale developments. This global interest underscores the country’s potential as a luxury real estate hub, with Folie Village leading the charge by offering turnkey villas that combine exclusivity with unmatched investment returns.

At Folie Village, luxury is not just a concept—it’s a lifestyle. Our premier development in the Bay of Jalë, along the Albanian Riviera, offers a collection of seafront villas designed for those who demand the extraordinary. Each villa is a masterpiece, blending modern architecture with the natural beauty of the Ionian Sea. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views, while private infinity pools and lush terraces create an oasis of tranquility. These homes are tailored for affluent buyers seeking privacy, sophistication, and a connection to Albania’s vibrant coastal culture.
What sets Folie Village apart is its proximity to Folie Marine, Albania’s flagship luxury hotel. Residents enjoy exclusive access to five-star amenities, including gourmet dining, a world-class spa and private beach clubs. Whether you’re hosting a sunset soirée or unwinding with a bespoke wellness experience, Folie Village elevates every moment. The development also embraces eco-luxury, with 15% more green properties projected by 2025, featuring sustainable materials and energy-efficient designs that appeal to environmentally conscious buyers.
Beyond the villas themselves, Folie Village offers a lifestyle that blends adventure and refinement. The Albanian Riviera is a playground for the elite, with opportunities for yachting, hiking in the rugged Ceraunian Mountains, or exploring historic sites like Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nearby Sarandë and Vlorë boast vibrant dining scenes. This seamless fusion of natural beauty and cultural richness makes Folie Village the ultimate retreat for those who crave both exclusivity and adventure.
Why Invest in Albania’s Luxury Market Now?
The numbers speak for themselves: luxury villas in Dhërmi and Himara command prices of €2,000 – €3,500 per square meter, with a 15% year-over-year increase, reflecting strong demand. Unlike saturated markets in Western Europe, Albania’s luxury real estate offers affordability without compromising quality, making it an ideal entry point for investors seeking high returns. The rise of digital nomads and remote workers further fuels demand for vacation rentals, ensuring consistent rental income for property owners.
Moreover, Albania’s tourism-driven economy and infrastructure improvements signal long-term growth. New developments like the Vlora International Airport and expanded coastal highways are making the Riviera more accessible, driving property values higher. For investors, this translates to a rare opportunity to secure prime real estate before prices align with those of established Mediterranean markets.
