Pools and Spa

The hotel features a large outdoor swimming pool, which is the perfect spot to cool off when the sun is at its peak. You’ll find plenty of space to lounge on the sun terrace surrounding the water. If you are looking for some extra pampering, the wellness area offers a quiet retreat from the midday heat. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including massages and specific treatments, may be subject to additional charges.


Beach

One of the best features of Hotel Amfora is its proximity to the coast. You are only a few steps away from a dedicated section of the sandy Golem beach. To make your day by the sea even more comfortable, sun loungers and umbrellas are available for hotel guests free of charge. The shallow waters here make it a fantastic choice for a morning dip or a long stroll along the shoreline at sunset.


Sport and Entertainment

During the day, you can join in with light activities or simply enjoy the ambient music by the pool. In the evenings, the hotel often hosts live music or local performances, creating a chic setting for tranquil relaxation with a cocktail in hand. For those who want to stay active, the long stretch of beach is ideal for a morning run or a brisk walk towards the nearby marina.


Family Amenities

Families are warmly welcomed at Hotel Amfora, with facilities designed to keep the little ones entertained. Children will love the dedicated section of the swimming pool, which is shallow and safe for splashing around. There is also an outdoor playground where kids can burn off some energy while you relax nearby.

  • Directly on the beach (Golem)
  • Approx. 10km from the centre of Durrës

“Not geared up for all inclusive”

This hotel absolutely looks like a 4* hotel, gleaming marble, mirrors, trendy lightening, modern tech (do not disturb/clean my room) but that’s where the 4* ends. It’s needs to get the basics right first then think of the aesthetics. The biggest let down if the food. It’s cold, lacks choice offering extremely limited options, I would not want to stay here as a vegetarian. Food not labelled, not good for anyone with an allergy. Soft drinks have enough E numbers to keep you buzzing all day. Food left from lunch is battered and served cold in the evening. Beds are not made for you. Information on booking site stated robes were supplied, not, two restaurants on site, not, spa facilities, not. Prosecco was at an extra cost which I would expect to be included. Later in the week, the restaurant was closed accept for breakfast and food served in the bar with no facilities to keep food at a holding temperature, this is just asking for a case of food poisoning. Younger staff constantly on their phones, wearing jeans so sometimes difficult to tell who were staff/guests and sometimes not professional, I was pushed passed in the stairs more than once. No ambience either, no holiday vibes at all. Such a shame, I had high hopes. On the plus side, the beach is very close but quite dirty. Tips - the bread (which was lovely although only white available) , put in the toaster sideways otherwise it gets stuck. Take your own teabags and tomato sauce. Use a glass for your cuppa as the cups are tiny.

“Great hotel”

I stayed with my sister from the 23rd to 28th of September. The hotel was really accommodating and I have never felt so welcome in a hotel. The food was great, the hotel was clean and the staff were lovely. I have never felt genuine sadness leaving a place but Hotel Amfora did that for me. I definitely will visit again and recommend everybody to visit too. The hotel is located next to the beach which has a lovely strip of restaurants and bars. The rooms are spacious and are cleaned and maintained everyday on your request. I will be booking again for next year ❤️🇦🇱

“Good location for beach and tour”

We only stayed in this hotel for one night but reception staff were helpful and the rooms were a nice size. The pool is small but it is good that there is one! The beach and restaurants are a very easy 5 min walk and the petrol station 2 min walk away was very convenient for pick up for the wine tasting tour we had booked. Would have been happy to stay longer.
