Maritim Marina Bay Resort & Casino Adult Only

Maritim Marina Bay Resort is a beachfront resort on Aleksandër Moisiu Street, 6.0 km in a straight line south of central Vlorë. Booking.com now lists it as Maritim Marina Bay Resort SPA & Casino Adult Friendly, with a casino, a spa and wellness centre, a private beach area and a nightclub.

Who it suits. Adults on a beach holiday. The listing has changed its label from adults only to adult friendly, so ask the resort whether children can stay before you book with them. The minimum age to check in is 18.

Pools and beach. There is an indoor pool open all year, an outdoor pool that opens in season, a pool bar, and sun loungers and parasols on the private beach area.

Rooms. Doubles with sea or pool view, deluxe doubles with balcony and sea view, family rooms and several grades of suite. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00. Breakfast is a buffet.

From our Vlorë guide. Beaches north of the city are sandy and shallow. Heading south toward Radhimë and Orikum, the side this resort is on, the shore gets rockier, with deeper, clearer water for snorkelling.

Worth knowing. Parking is free, and the airport shuttle costs extra. Guests score it 8.8 from 1,786 reviews on Booking.com. For the city and the coast south of it, see our Vlorë guide.
