The 3 areas to stay in Himara
1. Centre — Spile Best for most people
The heart of Himara: the town beach, the promenade with restaurants and bars, the supermarkets and, climbing the hill, the stone old town with the castle and its views over the Ionian. Staying here means having everything on foot and not depending on a car. It's the most practical, well-rounded option, especially if it's your first time.
2. Potami Beach Beach and resorts
A couple of kilometres south of the centre, Potami is the stretch of beach with the cleanest water, beach clubs and the more resort-style hotels — with a pool, a private beach and everything sorted without moving. Ideal for a pure beach holiday; to reach the village a car or a short taxi is best.
3. Livadh and quiet beaches Calm and value
To the north, the long beach of Livadh and the coves at the far south offer the most relaxed pace: fewer people, places to stay ranging from luxury with a spa to very good value, and the sea just metres away. The best choice for switching off; a car makes it more enjoyable, though several hotels have everything on the beach itself.
7 recommended hotels in Himara
A selection spread across areas and budgets, with a good reputation among travellers. Guide prices per night for a double room; in July and August they rise and it's worth booking ahead.

10The place to stay in Himarë
Saint Nicolas is THE place to stay in Himarë! A modern, very well-equipped room, with extremely comfortable beds. The breakfast, superb and with lots of options. What's more, it's one of the few in the area with free sunloungers on the beach.

10A great hotel, very well located
The perfect place to stay in Himara: direct beach access and, even so, plenty of peace and quiet in the room. The rooftop restaurant, very good, and the staff, incredible.

Maria · Jul 2026
9,0Excellent service, spotless, lots of friendly, attentive staff
I don't think I'm wrong in saying it's the best in the area; although it's 200 metres from the beach they take you there and back as many times as you like by jeep, the staff excellent, reception an 11 out of 10 and together with the manager they helped us solve a problem.
Jose · Jul 2026

9,0A hotel with magnificent service in Himarë
The receptionist was very helpful and even offered us, for one night, a room above the one we'd booked at no extra cost. The parking is underground and very convenient

Seaside Hotel Himare ⭐⭐⭐
≈ 60-135 €
Southern end of Potami, a quiet beach
At the southern tip of Himara, with a calm beach right in front, "away from the noise". It's 30-40 minutes' walk from the centre, which for many is an advantage: total peace and one of the best ratings in the area.
A quiet, clean beach metres away

10A 10/10 choice for value. Spectacular views
A small, super quiet hotel, with stunning views, everything spotless, the staff very warm, friendly, top marks! It's in an area where you have restaurants and a supermarket, but in a quieter, prettier spot, 10-15 minutes' walk from the seafront.
Imma · Jul 2026
10Stunning views. A quiet hotel on the best beach in Himarë
The Seaside is one of the best hotels I've stayed in. The location is wonderful — right in front of the hotel, about 50 metres, and you're on the beach. It's quiet, away from the busier area, and yet in just 15 minutes' walk you have all the restaurants and bars.
Claudia · Jul 2026
10I'd stay there again, an excellent place
Right by the beach, a room with a beautiful view. Everything clean and comfortable. Air conditioning working perfectly and the host always attentive to our needs. A large, comfortable bed
Samanta · Jun 2026
10Relaxing days
The location, away from all the fuss (but close at the same time to restaurants and all kinds of amenities), facing the sea, next to a beautiful cove. The staff, couldn't be better, they make everything so comfortable and easy, very pleasant.
