"Dhermi beach club" is really two shorelines wearing one name. Dhërmi Beach proper sits at roughly 40.1401° N, 19.6420° E; Drymades is a separate white-pebble bay about 3 km further north in a straight line, at 40.1554° N, 19.6093° E. It is the beach most people mean when they say the water looked unreal. Book a lounger on the wrong one and you will spend the day looking at a different bay from the one in the photograph that sold you the trip.
The Named Venues, With Their Actual Scores
Our venue records were pulled from Google Maps listings on 10 September 2026. Ratings drift, so treat these as of that date. The review counts tell you something a star score alone hides: how many people have actually formed an opinion.
| Venue | Shoreline | Google rating | Reviews | Listed as |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noah on the Beach | Dhërmi | 4.8 | 1,481 | Restaurant |

Two patterns fall out of that table. First, the biggest names on the strip are not the best-scored ones. Moyo, the venue with the most recognisable brand on this coast, sits at 3.8 while a 109-review campsite bar sits at 4.7. Second, almost everything here is registered as a restaurant, not a bar, which is a fair description of how the day actually works: you are renting a table and a stretch of pebble, and the food bill is the real bill.

Dhërmi Beach Versus Drymades
Dhërmi Beach is the developed one: white pebbles under the Ceraunian Mountains, with beach clubs, waterfront hotels and restaurants running along the shore, and the deep blue water that makes it one of the most photographed stretches of the Riviera. It is also where the density is. Ten of the fourteen venues above sit on this bay.
Drymades Beach carries the same white pebble and the same mountain backdrop but fewer venues, spread further apart. Morsi sits at the quieter north end at 40.1493° N, with boho-styled shaded seating and Mediterranean, seafood-leaning plates a few steps from the water. Pepperon The Beach is further north again at 40.1514° N. Between them, Moyo occupies the middle of the bay.
Both bays are recorded in our beach data as more upscale than Himara, with higher prices to match. That is the single most useful thing to know before you drive up: you are not choosing between a cheap beach and an expensive one, you are choosing which expensive one.
Moyo, and What a Branded Beach Club Means Here
Moyo Drymades is the Tulum-styled club on the ivory pebbles of Drymades, with sun loungers and cocktails by day and DJ sets after dark. It is a fixture of both the Dhërmi beachfront and the festival circuit that lands on this coast each summer. It is reachable on +355 69 359 9122 and publishes at moyo.al.
Its 3.8 across 291 Google reviews is worth reading carefully rather than dismissing. A venue that runs as a quiet lounger operation at 11:00 and a sound system at 23:00 collects reviews from two audiences with incompatible expectations, and the score is the average of both. If you want the daytime version, the score is not telling you to avoid it; if you want a quiet beach, it is.
Picking an End of the Strip
- You want the busiest, most serviced stretch with the most fallback options: Dhërmi Beach. If your first choice is full you can walk to the next one.
- You want space between you and the next umbrella: the north end of Drymades, around Morsi and Pepperon.
- You want a club that will still be going after dark: Moyo, on Drymades.
- You want to eat well rather than pose: Noah on the Beach carries by far the largest verified review base on the strip, 1,481 of them.
There is one honest caveat on all of the above: none of these venues publishes a sunbed or umbrella price in any source we hold. Ask at the entrance before you settle in, and ask whether the price is per person or per set.
If you are based in Himara rather than Dhermi, the venues are different and so are the costs. Our Himara beach clubs guide covers the town's own shorelines and the sunbed rates that are actually published for them. For what these same venues do after dark, and the festival weeks that take them over, see the Dhermi nightlife guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Dhermi and Drymades the same beach?
No. They are two separate white-pebble bays roughly 3 km apart in a straight line, at 40.1401° N and 40.1554° N respectively. Dhërmi Beach holds most of the beach clubs and hotels; Drymades is quieter, with Moyo, Morsi and Pepperon spread along it. Both sit below the Ceraunian Mountains.
Which Dhermi beach club has the best reviews?
By score among venues with a meaningful sample, Camping Restaurant Dhermi leads at 4.7 from 109 Google reviews. By volume, Noah on the Beach holds 4.8 from 1,481 reviews, the largest verified base on either bay. Both figures were recorded on 10 September 2026 and will drift.
How much do sunbeds cost at Dhermi beach clubs?
No Dhermi or Drymades venue publishes a sunbed rate in any source we hold, so we won't quote one. Our beach records do note that both bays run more expensive than the Himara-area beaches. Confirm the rate, and whether it covers one person or a set, before you take a lounger.
Is Moyo worth it if I'm not there for the music?
For a daytime lounger session, yes. It is a full beach club with loungers and cocktails on the Drymades pebbles. Its 3.8 Google average pools daytime and after-dark reviewers with opposite expectations. If you specifically want a quiet beach day, the north end of Drymades suits better.
