Set against the azure expanse of the Ionian Sea, Green Coast represents the pinnacle of contemporary seaside living in Albania—a destination that unites architectural excellence, sustainable design, and a strong investment vision. Located near the city of Vlora and the soon-to-open international airport, this 1-billion-Euro development by BALFIN Group has become a landmark project, redefining real estate standards on the Mediterranean map.
A PRIVILEGED PORTFOLIO
For discerning buyers, Green Coast offers the privilege to choose from an exceptional portfolio of properties, including the exclusive Villa Elite, Individual and Twin Villas, and a range of apartments that span from 1+1 to 2+1 bedrooms, as well as penthouses and duplexes. Each residence has been designed to harmonise with its surroundings, offering unobstructed views of the sea and mountains, private pools or lush green terraces, and a style of living that blends refinement with the serenity of nature. Designed by the award-winning EAA–Emre Arolat Architecture, the development’s aesthetic reflects the rugged beauty of the Riviera, with organic textures and large façades that merge indoor and outdoor life.
This architectural sensitivity extends beyond visual appeal. Green rooftops and pedestrian-friendly green corridors foster a microclimate that enhances both sustainability and wellbeing. The site also holds Albania’s first Blue Flag-certified beach—a distinction that underscores its commitment to environmental protection and water quality. As a result, Green Coast stands as a model for sustainable coastal development in Europe.
LIFESTYLE & LEISURE
At the heart of the development lies La Vista, a vibrant lifestyle centre that embodies the spirit of the Mediterranean. Overlooking the Ionian coast, it brings together elegant restaurants, cafés, and boutiques, alongside one of the largest underground nightclubs in the region. Complementing this is Galeria by TEG, the first shopping mall on the Albanian Riviera, which houses global fashion and lifestyle brands. These additions have transformed Green Coast into a self-contained ecosystem— an “integrated mini-village” that rivals the sophistication of coastal communities in Montenegro, Spain, and Greece.
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH & LASTING VALUE
Green Coast’s evolution has been equally remarkable from a business perspective. Since the completion of its first phase in 2019, the development has seen property values increase by up to 300%, reflecting the growing international appetite for premium real estate in Albania. The project’s financial performance continues to demonstrate steady, sustainable growth, with investors enjoying returns on investment (ROI) between 7% and 12%. Financing options are available even for non-residents, while a professional renting programme and vacation exchange system ensure that properties remain income-generating assets year-round.
A BENCHMARK FOR ALBANIAN HOSPITALITY
The recent completion of the Green Coast Hotel MGallery Collection, part of the Accor Group, marks another milestone. As the first five-star-plus hotel on the Albanian Riviera, it has positioned the region firmly on the global hospitality stage and further strengthened investor confidence. Upcoming developments under renowned international brands, including Hyatt Regency and Gran Meliá, are set to amplify this appeal, solidifying Green Coast’s reputation as a premium lifestyle destination.
Accessibility has also played a crucial role in this success. With the Llogara Tunnel and Vlora Airport facilitating swift connections from major European hubs, Green Coast has transitioned from a seasonal getaway to a dynamic, year-round community. This shift toward sustainable, nonseasonal tourism reflects Albania’s broader ambition to develop an integrated tourism economy—one that balances profitability with long-term environmental and social value.
FUTURE-READY, INVESTOR-FOCUSED
What ultimately sets Green Coast apart is its holistic approach. From design and location to investment flexibility and community building, every element is part of a coherent vision: to offer the privilege of choosing a home that suits your lifestyle, and the confidence to invest in a destination with proven and growing value.
For homeowners, this encompasses more than just a property—it means belonging to a living, breathing coastal community that celebrates culture, wellness, and connection. For investors, it offers tangible returns backed by one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in Europe. And for Albania, it represents a defining moment: a homegrown success story that is putting the country’s Riviera firmly on the global map of premium living and smart investment.
