Albania – a real contender in the European second homes market

Although Albania is still deemed an emerging market for overseas property, it is exactly this kind of nation that presents some of the very best second home opportunities today. With prices in Albania among some of the cheapest in Europe coupled with rising tourism and economic growth, Albania is fast becoming a real contender in the second homes market.

Whilst this Balkan nation offers a typically Mediterranean climate with an undeniable picture perfect landscape and an inspiring ancient history to tempt buyers, there have been limited opportunities for overseas property purchasers to confidently enter the Albanian property market. Nonetheless, with the Tourism and Culture Minister Aldo Bumci stating that €2 billion has been spent on improving the country´s roads and utilities infrastructure to help support increased tourist numbers combined with GDP growth, predicted to hit 4.3% this year according to the Albanian government, Albania is already on its way to becoming one of the best holiday and second home havens in Europe.

Ravin Maharajah, partner of Lalzit Bay Resort & Spa, a five star luxury residential development located on Albania’s Adriatic coastline comments,
