Relax in the Mediterranean Sea
Green Coast Resort is located on Palasa Beach, in a breathtaking seaside landscape that is the prime
destination in Albania, where the Mediterranean Sea has smoothed the mountain to create a white beach that
now lies between the blueness of the sea and the greenness of the land.
Beach, Nature and History
The history of this region started when “Vetëtima” mountain range met the Mediterranean Sea. They created
a magic place that gathered stories and legends, from the first steps of men up to the development of Green
Coast Resort. Palasa region is one of the rare places that preserved the poor nature and heritage of ancient
cities and civilizations, continuing to astonish the visitors.
Inspired from tradition
Green Coast Resort is inspired by the buildings of the region, two floor houses blended harmoniously into the
green with a seaside view. The construction will use mostly the same local materials that have been used in
centuries such as stone, wood, traditional tiling and white plaster.
Stylized Villas
Spacious and stylized villas offer exceptional views from the hillside location among trees and flowers. With
four varieties of villas, Green Coast Resort offers all the possibilities to find your suited space. The entire
configuration of villas easily accesses the facilities of the resort.
How to reach the Location
Undiscovered… but easily accessible via direct international flights to Tirana International Airport and then by
regular domestic services from Tirana to Green Coast Resort. The road and the landscape will welcome you
with sunshine and mild temperatures all year round.
In addition to that, the ports of Vlora, Saranda and Himara offer another possibility to reach the resort by sea and
the depth of the sea permits yachts to get near the beach.
Location
Green Coast Resort is an oasis of calm in the remote
yet accessible beach of Palasa, Albanian’s most
beautiful beach. The area offers a host of activities from
mountain biking, parachuting and diving, to excursions
in nature in the Karaburun Peninsula, Palasa old village
and the seaside caves of Karaburun.
The resort is close to Vlora, Dhërmi, Himara, Saranda
and easily accessed from Corfu through the ports in
these cities. It is also near the ancient city of Butrint and
other villages where traditional crafts are still practiced.
It is worthwhile to explore the region’s exquisite natural
beauty and its vivid history. The descending road form
the Llogara National Park leads to the most mesmerizing
view of the Albanian Riviera and the first sight of
ITALY
the resort.
The view from the Green Coast Resort offers one of
the most breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea. Amidst
trees and flowers, the villas welcome their guests in a
blend of colors passing from greenish to bluish. Down
below the resort, set back from the white beach is the
Beach Club. All the 142 villas are tucked into the lush
vegetation around the resort, and all boast outstanding
sea views.

is a natural extension of “Vetëtima” mountain and which
is the product of erosion and delta formations of many
mountainous springs. Upper North is the National Park

standing proudly at an altitude of 2,000 m over the sea.
The delta is vegetative and spills in two beach apertures
and limestone extensions that smoothes into the sea.
Beaches are beautiful and conventional with white mid
thick sands mixed within small calcareous stones.
Under the sea, a wide range of marine species inhabit
the complex branched torrents and streams. Karaburun
Peninsula is one of the best preserved parks not only in

from human activity. There you can find a lot of natural
caves which can be reached and explored only by boat.
