The Blue Horizon building with blue shutters and bougainvillea

Welcome to Blue Horizon

Family-run, Blue Horizon sits a few steps from the pebbles of Livadhi Beach, just south of Himarë's old town. Most rooms open onto a private balcony — many looking straight out to the Ionian — and a beach bar waits across the track where the sea meets the shore.

Family-run and finished in warm wood and Aegean blue, it’s the kind of small place that feels like your own — breakfast on the terrace, a swim before the crowds, and the whole Riviera on your doorstep.

Cross the quiet track and you’re on the pebbles. Blue Horizon keeps a private beach area with sunbeds and an umbrella waiting, and a beach bar right on the shore for a coffee in the morning or something colder as the sun drops behind the headland.
