Learn more about Ksamil

Turquoise waters lap against four tiny islands just offshore, creating swimming spots so clear you'll see fish darting between your toes. Bring snorkelling gear to explore underwater landscapes that rival any aquarium. The ancient ruins of Butrint National Park tell stories spanning millennia, where crumbling Roman theatres and Byzantine baptisteries emerge from lush vegetation. Local restaurants serve fresh seafood caught hours earlier, often accompanied by Albanian raki that locals insist aids digestion. Between swims, hike coastal paths offering views across to Corfu. The beaches fill with Albanian families on summer weekends, creating a festive atmosphere where impromptu volleyball games welcome newcomers. Visit in September when crowds thin but the sea remains blissfully warm.

Hotel Luxury

Hotel Luxury

10/10 Excellent
"The property is quaint, well-maintained, and full of charm. We had a front-facing balcony where we could relax and enjoy the views, including a glimpse of the water in the distance. The staff were amazing, very informative about the hotel amenities, and went out of their way to help whenever needed. Breakfast was included and offered a good selection of options. Overall, we felt it was excellent value for the money. My only complaint relates to a booking error that I made when selecting the dates. I realized the mistake immediately and contacted Hotels.com for assistance. They reached out to the hotel to see if the reservation dates could be amended, but the hotel was unwilling to make an exception to its policy. This was disappointing because we were not trying to cancel the reservation or reduce the length of our stay; we simply wanted to shift the booking by one day. Given that it was the off-season and the hotel was not fully booked, it did not appear to be an issue of availability. Despite this, the request was denied and I had to pay the penalty."

Arameras Resort

Arameras Resort

8/10 Good
"Arameras Resort is a great choice for travellers seeking seclusion and tranquillity in Ksamil. The resort is beautifully designed with a unique paved garden layout and buggies to take guests around. The bungalow-style rooms are nestled within the gardens and feature modern décor, smart TVs, fridges and freezer compartments. The overall aesthetic is the cleanest in Ksamil. There are however areas that could be improved. For such a secluded resort, additional spa facilities such as a sauna, jacuzzi or massage treatments, along with some evening entertainment, would be a great addition. The resort has padel, tennis and basketball courts, plus a stunning infinity pool. We visited at the end of the season when daytime temperatures were 27°C but the pool was too cold to comfortably swim in. A temperature-controlled pool would allow guests to enjoy it beyond peak summer especially as the sea is also too cold outside peak season. If you’re not comfortable with reptiles, I’d recommend avoiding a garden-facing room. We had a lizard in ours which unfortunately affected our sleep. Thankfully Johnny at reception dealt with it promptly and provided excellent service. Breakfast is another area for improvement with limited vegetarian options, some stale food and flies around the display. Overall, Albania is still developing as a tourist destination, but the people are incredibly friendly and hardworking. With more investment in guest experience, Arameras has great potential."

"This was a lovely hotel. Bit of a hill to get to it and between a 5-10 minute walk to the main restaurants. 10-20 minute walk to beach, depending on which one you went to. Staff are lovely, rooms are clean. There is no food on premises after breakfast. Pool snacks would be good. Bar open until around 8pm. I think later would of been better. You can get take aways to be delivered to the hotel though. We had pizza a couple of times and it was lovely. They order that in for you. Overall was lovely, nice pool area too."

10/10 Excellent
"On arrival, we were told that our room wasn’t available. However, the team had been expecting us and had already arranged accommodation for our first night at a property right next door. We didn’t ask about the circumstances, but we were very impressed with how the situation was handled. Everything was explained clearly, and we were made to feel welcome despite the unexpected change. The hotel has a wonderfully laid-back atmosphere in a very positive way. The staff are friendly, approachable and more than happy to help with any requests, which made our stay feel very relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, we were really happy with our experience and would happily stay here again. I really enjoyed the coffee at Breakfast time."
