PRADO
Livadhi bay from the air at dusk with the lit buildings along the shore and the mountains standing behind

Vlorë County · Albania

A wide bay, a coast road, and the mountains standing behind

Livadh sits on the shore about 1.6 km north of Himarë town, with the mountains standing close behind it and the coast road running along the slope above.

01The beaches

Livadhi first, then the rest of the bay

Livadhi
In front

The hotel’s own stretch of shingle, directly in front

Akuariumit
2.0 km

North up the coast, on the way to Jale

Spille
1.6 km

Himarë's town beach and its promenade

Maracit
3.1 km

A short drive south along the coast road

Prinos
3.5 km

The quiet end of the bay at Potam

Distances as the hotel’s own listing publishes them.

The bay in front is pebble rather than sand, which is why beach shoes are worth packing — and why the hotel sets its own umbrellas and loungers out on it.

02The coast

What is worth the drive, and how far it is

Two castles among them, and the rest shore. Every one is on the same coast road, and the furthest is under eight kilometres away.

  • Himarë town & Spile

    About 1.6 km south

    The harbour, the town beach and the promenade the town walks each evening. Close enough to be the obvious dinner alternative, far enough that Livadh stays quiet.

  • The arched stone gateway into the ruined walls of Himarë Castle

    Himarë Castle

    1.2 km

    The hilltop Kastro above the old town — stone lanes, Byzantine chapels and the whole coastline in one view.

  • Jale bay from the road above, its pale beach and turquoise water below green hillsides

    Jale Beach

    2.4 km

    North over the headland — a bright cove reached by a short track down from the coast road.

  • Boats moored on the pebbles at Gjipe beach beneath high grey cliffs

    Gjipe

    5.3 km

    Where a limestone canyon opens onto the sea. Down a steep track on foot, or far more easily by boat from Himarë.

  • Porto Palermo Castle from above on its wooded peninsula between two bays

    Porto Palermo Castle

    7.4 km

    Ali Pasha’s triangular fortress on its own short peninsula between two bays.

  • The stone houses of old Qeparo stacked on the hillside above olive terraces

    Qeparo

    South along the SH8

    The old village on the hillside above the newer one — stone houses, olive terraces and almost no traffic.
