Short-Term Rental & Airbnb Investment in Albania

Short-term holiday rentals are a booming way to earn from property in Albania, thanks to fast-growing tourism and popular platforms like Airbnb. Done well, a coastal or city apartment can generate strong seasonal income. Here is how it works.

Why It Works

Rising visitor numbers, especially on the coast, create strong demand for holiday accommodation. A well-located, attractive property can achieve high occupancy and nightly rates during the season, offering good returns.

Best Locations

Coastal hotspots like Ksamil, Saranda, Vlora and the Riviera lead for summer holiday rentals, while Tirana offers year-round city-break demand from tourists and business visitors. Sea views and proximity to the beach boost bookings.

Seasonality

Coastal rentals earn most in the summer peak, so factor in the shorter season when calculating returns. Tirana provides steadier demand across the year, balancing a portfolio nicely.

Setting Up

Furnish and equip the property to a good standard, take great photos, and create an attractive listing. Comfort, cleanliness and thoughtful touches lead to strong reviews and repeat bookings.

Management

You can self-manage or use a local co-host or management company to handle guests, cleaning and check-ins. Good management is essential for high ratings, especially if you live abroad.

Tips

• Choose a location with strong holiday demand.
• Invest in quality furnishing and photos.
• Aim for excellent reviews to drive bookings.
• Factor seasonality into your return calculations.
