Valza Boutique Hotel

The Ultimate Destination of Vlorë

Valza Boutique Hotel

Valza means “small wave” in Albanian. We are a family-run, 4-star boutique hotel in Uji i Ftohtë, Vlorë, a few minutes’ walk from the beach. We opened in 2022, and like a small wave, we keep growing season after season thanks to the care of our family and our team. We welcome you through a reception of marble floors and custom wave-cut woodwork into a space built for genuine rest. We offer free parking and comfortable rooms and suites perfect for couples and families. By booking direct, you receive the best available rate with complimentary breakfast included in every stay. That same relaxing energy carries all the way up to Eden by Valza, our vibrant rooftop restaurant featuring panoramic bay views.

El hotel es hermoso, acogedor y con mucho encanto, ideal para disfrutar de una estadía cómoda y relajante en Vlorë. Tiene unas vistas maravillosas al mar desde su 6to piso y el desayuno se hace ahi mismo. Las habitaciones son cómodas para relajarse.
Sin duda, es un lugar que recomendaría a quienes visiten la zona y busquen disfrutar de una linda experiencia. Volvería a elegirlo sin dudarlo!

The location is great. You can get here by bus from Vlora's city center, and once you arrive, everything is close by. Cliff Beach is just 300 meters away and wonderfully quiet, perfect if you want to relax in peace. The public beach is about a 15-minute walk.

There are plenty of restaurants nearby, plus a Soni market, so you'll find everything you need without going far.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic stay in Vlora!

Las playas de Vlorë 💙están buenísimas y desde el hotel es muy cómodo moverse por la zona. ¡Sin dudas volvería!
Recomiendo mucho los crepes del desayuno 🥞

Hit to restauracja na dachu z genialnym widokiem na morze — kolacja o zachodzie słońca robi ogromne wrażenie.

Zdecydowanie polecam!❤️

Przemiła i bardzo pomocna obsługa, bez problemu można dogadać się po angielsku. Śniadania naprawdę bardzo smaczne, jest w czym wybierać.

Wielka zaleta to restauracja na dachu – widok na morze zwala z nóg, szczególnie podczas kolacji przy zachodzie słońca.
Pokoje czyste i nowoczesne, codziennie sprzątane. Szczerze polecam, na pewno warto wybrać to miejsce! ❤️

Nos quedamos en Valza Boutique Hotel y la pasamos muy bien. Está en Uji i Ftohtë, cerca de playas muy bonitas y es un buen lugar para salir a conocer Orikum, Karaburun y otros lugares de la costa.

Una de las cosas que más nos gustó fue desayunar en la terraza, con una vista preciosa al mar y a toda la bahía de Vlorë. La habitación era cómoda, teníamos estacionamiento gratis y todo fue muy relajado.

Nos gustó mucho conocer esta parte de Albania después de agosto. Hay menos gente, se disfruta todo con más calma y la verdad es que lo pasamos genial.

Cerca del hotel se encuentra una hermosa playa donde puedes ir a disfrutar todo el día, la famosa Kalaja 🌊☺️
