Property details
- Hilltop serenity: Perched in a picturesque spot where the green hills meet the coast, Padel Olivia's Hill Resort makes for a charming base in the heart of the Albanian Riviera. The hotel's architecture follows contemporary style, blending seamlessly with the timeless landscape of the surrounding hills. From your tranquil base, you can enjoy a glass of local wine while soaking up the vistas of the sparkling water and lush greenery that define this coastal gem.
- Poolside bliss: The star of the show is the resort’s seasonal outdoor pool, a shimmering oasis perfect for slow afternoons under the Mediterranean sun. Between refreshing dips, you can lounge on the raffia-fringed terrace with a book or simply admire the far-reaching views that stretch across the rolling landscape towards the nearby shores of Shkëmbi i Kavajës.
- Local flavours: At the inviting restaurant, every meal celebrates the rich culinary traditions of the region through fresh interpretations. Focus is placed on the quality of ingredients, from hearty breakfasts to elegant dinners served under the stars. Sample authentic pasta and seafood dishes that tell a story of local heritage, perfectly paired with a selection of fine wines in a warm and atmospheric setting.
How to get there
The resort is located in Golem, Durrës, and is approximately a 35-minute drive from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa. Public transport options are available from Tirana and Durrës, though we would recommend hiring a car in order to get the most out of the beautiful coastline and surrounding region.
Good to know
Please note, the outdoor swimming pool is seasonal.
