Albania is increasingly affirming itself on the international tourism and investment map, attracting the attention of global actors. In addition to its natural beauties, the country is pursuing a vision that includes the development of an integrated tourism economy and real estate projects with European standards.
Increasingly, investors from countries beyond the borders are looking for new destinations that combine sustainable tourism with long-term financial return, and Green Coast has been representing Albania on the Mediterranean map for years. With an investment of 1 billion euros, this project has marked a turning point for the development of real estate in coastal areas, becoming a catalyst for economic development and attracting foreign investors.
A constantly growing market
With over 1.5 km of coastline and 70,000 m² of green corridors, designed by the prestigious architectural studio Emre Arolat, Green Coast has set new standards in a market where demand for beachfront properties is growing significantly. In recent years, 40% of buyers in this project have been non-residents, confirming its strong appeal to international investors and ensuring a well-diversified investor base, further supported by accessible financing options for non-residents.
Beyond the tourist season, a new lifestyle model
Unlike traditional resorts that operate only during summer, Green Coast is redefining seasonality by offering a wide range of services all year round. Its proximity to the Llogara tunnel and the soon-to-open Vlora airport ensures quick and reliable access, turning it into a destination that is easily reachable in every season. This model represents a significant shift for Albania, transitioning from seasonal tourism toward a sustainable, year-round economy in both the tourism and real estate sectors.
Development at a sustainable pace
Since the completion of its first phase in 2019, Green Coast has stood out as a true success story, not only for introducing a new concept that fosters an active community and extends the summer season, but also for the remarkable increase in property values from the start of construction until today.
The second phase, launched in 2022, is progressing steadily across all development areas. Two key components of this phase, the Lifestyle Centre “La Vista” and the “Galeria by TEG” shopping centre, became fully operational in 2024, hosting a curated selection of local and international brands.
In the first half of 2025, the Green Coast Hotel MGallery Collection, part of the Accor Group, was successfully inaugurated, the first 5+ star hotel on the Albanian Riviera. With its debut, Albania gained a new benchmark in hospitality and a well-deserved place on the map of premium Mediterranean destinations.
From success to a new chapter
Sales have shown a steady upward trend, reflecting the market’s strong confidence in the project. With the launch of the third phase, the portfolio has expanded to include a wider variety of property types, from functional apartments ideal for new investors to exclusive villas designed for clients with more sophisticated expectations. These needs are complemented by personalised furnishing packages that simplify the move-in process and enhance the overall experience, further fueling the growing interest of the international market.
A closed ecosystem
Beyond architecture, Green Coast is building a true ecosystem of services, with squares and recreational centres that encourage interaction between residents and visitors, such as the Beachfront Promenade, Lifestyle Centre “La Vista” and the “Galeria By TEG” shopping centre. The diverse range of services is complemented by public swimming pools, in addition to those of the hotels, a beach with the prestigious “Blue Flag” certification, the first and only in Albania, as well as an integrated services centre with a police station, a health centre, a fire department, as well as 24/7 security and year-round maintenance of common areas. Through this comprehensive offer, the project approaches the model of “integrated mini-cities” that have already revolutionised markets such as Montenegro, Greece, Spain and Dubai.
Sustainable value growth and return on investment
Green Coast’s financial performance clearly reflects the project’s sustainable and measurable growth over time, with property values increasing by up to three to four times since sales first began. Situated in one of the most stunning locations along the Albanian Riviera, Green Coast stands out as a unique investment opportunity that delivers what can be called a “triple benefit”: the personal enjoyment of a modern seaside residence and elite resort, the potential for profit through a professionally managed rental programme, and the long-term appreciation of property value.
Conceived as an integrated destination, Green Coast combines contemporary residences and five-star hospitality with year-round services, including the Riviera’s only shopping and lifestyle centre, vibrant spaces for leisure and relaxation, and a calendar of exclusive events featuring renowned local and international names. Through an architectural approach that harmonises with the surrounding landscape, featuring green corridors and terraces, the project embodies innovation and environmental sensitivity. Together, these elements establish Green Coast as an elite destination and a secure investment with consistently high and sustainable returns.
