Adriatik Hotel, BW Premier Collection suits active beach travellers seeking extensive sports infrastructure and direct private sand access. It features comprehensive year-round aquatic facilities alongside two swimming pools. However, the hotel sits at a distance from the historic city centre, and travellers may encounter high seasonal demand for pool loungers.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 7 hotels we list in Durrës is 9.1.
- The hotel occupies a prime beachfront position, providing guests with reserved seating on a private stretch of sand just steps from the accommodation wings.
- With both an expansive outdoor pool and a climate-controlled indoor alternative, the property ensures swimming remains an option regardless of the season or coastal weather conditions.

Reviews from Google“We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location is perfect—right on the beach and in the heart of the promenade, making everything easily accessible and convenient. The cleanliness was outstanding. The rooms and all public areas were spotless and very well maintained throughout our stay. We would especially like to thank Babbu and Iskandar tunis from the dining room staff. They provided exceptional service from the heart, always welcoming us with a smile, paying attention to every detail, and making sure we had everything we needed. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made our experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel and would be happy to return in the future. Thank you for a fantastic stay!”
“Wow! The hotel met my expectations and I am glad I chose it. The Hotel looks so beautiful, was clean and has lots of beautiful lobby space for relaxation. Their staff were welcoming especially Ali and Eva at the reception. Their housekeeping team were great, dedicated and responded as needed. Ulrisa was helpful and ever smiling whilst she attended to me. Lume and Majlinda were equally good and polite. The hotel has direct access to the sea front and it’s easily accessible. I enjoyed the indoor pool and sauna. There were lots of choices in the buffet breakfast and the food tasted great. Babbu in the Resturant made us further comfortable. The hotel is accessible to shopping area which is good for tourists. I will definitely come back soon with friends and family.”
“We had one of the best holidays and stayed as a family. We have been several times; we have noticed hotel development and improvements in staff. At the time, the Adriatic was one of the best in the country and Balkan. Rooms are decorated with Albanian archaeological sites and ethnographic portraits, which are excellent. The location is the best possible, and the view of Durres Bay from the front is magnificent. The pool with salt sea water is excellent, with a very nice bar. On the other side, there are tennis courts. Hotel SPA with everything you can count on and an indoor pool is one of the best we have experienced, and at a reasonable price. Food is excellent with the richest breakfast I have noticed compared with many 5-star hotels, with Albanian specialities we have missed for a long time. The tourists come from Western countries and the US. We noticed a nice German couple Staff is young, kind, and professional. We had very good impressions of Enard, Era, and Ali.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Adriatic Hotel, and a huge part of our peace of mind came from Erald, the lifeguard. Erald is an outstanding professional who takes his job very seriously. He is incredibly attentive, constantly scanning the water, and always alert to ensure everyone’s safety—especially the children. Beyond his excellent safety skills, he is extremely polite, welcoming, and always ready to help guests with a smile. It is rare to find a lifeguard who balances strict professionalism with such a warm and friendly attitude. The Adriatic Hotel is lucky to have him on their team. Thank you, Erald, for making our beach days both safe and enjoyable.”
“We spent 10 days enjoying the beach facilities at Adriatik Hotel, and it honestly became one of the best parts of our trip. Even though we were not staying at the hotel, we came to the beach every single day and always felt so welcome. A special mention has to go to Uejsii, who really made our days at the beach even more enjoyable. He was always smiling, joking around with us and making sure we were having a good time. Over the 10 days, we got to know him quite well, and he became one of those people who made our holiday feel a little more special. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would happily come back to Adriatik. The beach is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the people make you feel genuinely welcome. A big thank you to Uejsii and the rest of the team for making our 10 days in Durrës even better. We will definitely remember this place! ❤️”
