Artis Blue Relax

Quite location at the end of the beach. Very relaxing on large balcony overlooking the water . Newly renovated room,beautiful decor. Artimis, our host was pleasant and accommodating. There is a parking available for the room which was a major plus. Terrace also has a large jacuzzi tub . We also had the first floor room for our family which had a deck access to the water. They enjoyed sitting and reading.on the deck. Their room was also tastefully decorated. Would highly recommended for your stay in Himare.

Location was excellent. Our host was so so kind and helpful. Being able to sit right on the water off the back porch was incredibly relaxing and wonderful. Highly recommend this stay. No complaints at all!

The location and setting for this place was phenomenal. The place was beyond my expectations. There is a set of glass doors that lead to a couple of beach chairs on rocks along the sea. There are many restaurants and stores close by. There is a quiet and beautiful promenade along the beach for a nice walk. It was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this location/place. Nothing. It was perfect.

This is one of the nicest accommodations we’ve ever stayed in! The private patio outside of the doors right on the water was such a treat. There were sea urchins and crabs you could watch right from where you were sitting and the host provided water shoes for swimming. The one morning it was full sunshine at 7am and I rolled out of bed directly onto a lounge chair. The other morning it was a bit stormy and we watched the waves from inside with the doors open. We immediately felt at home and comfortable, the host was super friendly and made sure we had what we needed. This property was super walkable to the main area and was one of the few (if not only) properties directly on the water). Only note would be that there was no sink in the main kitchen area, we did dishes (coffee cups and cutlery) in the bathroom sink a the first day, which I don’t think we needed to as the host came around and replaced them.

The Location 10 Stars Nothing

Beyond what I expected. Beautiful place right on the water. Swam from the attached deck. Host was phenomenal and the location was perfect. I will be back.

Beautiful location and amazing host!

We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel – everything exceeded our expectations. From the warm welcome to the attention to detail throughout, the experience was both relaxing and memorable. The room was out of this world with direct access to the crystal clear water, spotless and comfortable, the atmosphere was calm and inviting, and the service was outstanding. A very special thank you to Artemis, who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Your kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We are truly grateful and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely wonderful 4-night stay at Artis Blue Relax in Himarë, Albania. This place is truly unique — a one-of-a-kind experience that combines stunning views, thoughtful design, and a peaceful atmosphere. Artemis was incredible, welcoming us with such kindness and making us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. Every detail felt special, from the warm hospitality to the serene setting. It’s the kind of place that leaves you feeling both inspired and completely relaxed. We can’t wait to return! Nothing, everything was perfect. Thank you Artemis!

Highly, highly recommend.

Most beautiful, super clean, spacious, modern room. Right on the water. Sound proof! Walking distance to many restaurants, shops and bakeries.

This hotel is literally ON the water. It is so close that you can sit on your private patio and dip your feet in the water! Unfortunately, the water is full of sea urchins, so you can’t really go IN the water, but the view and ambience is fantastic! It is also the only hotel I stayed at in Albania that had a bathtub, and the view from the bathtub is incredible! This hotel is about as luxurious as it gets for Albania. Sea urchins were a bummer

Location, view, friendly owner

Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the swimming off of the deck. We both fell on the slippery, sharp rocks and there were many sea urchins on the rocks. Our hands were ripped up by landing on the urchins.

I cannot think if one thing to improve upon.

This is one of the most remarkable experiences I have ever had. The room is exceptionally well appointed with a mini kitchen area, large living room, lovely bathroom and spacious bedroom. But the most incredible element were the glass doors that open directly out to your own private patio with steps down to the sea. We loved having coffee or a cocktail in the lounge chairs watching the life on the bay. The owner, Artemis, was incredibly warm and welcoming and helped us figure out an issue with our lost baggage. We can't wait for our next visit!

No advertisement could have prepared us for the wow-factor when we stepped inside. Our room opens onto a private terrace where you can literally dive straight into the crystal-clear bay of Himarë. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame a breathtaking panorama, and from both the terrace and the bed we watched fish swimming in turquoise water while a gentle surf provided the perfect soundtrack. It’s the most romantic place we could imagine—an absolute dream stay! Just one cheerful heads-up: the bay is also a five-star resort for sea urchins. Those spiky little fellows love to hand out unsolicited pedicures, so pack water shoes and tiptoe with care—let them admire you from a safe distance while you soak up the magic.

This ir really not a hotel or apartment, this is experience you will never forget. The hotel owner takes care about her customers in every step. You will feel like you are not somewhere far from your home, but more like visiting your mom :) This apartment totally will change your understanding what beachfront apartment and what sea view means :) This is the best terrace we have ever been. No words can describe the view and the feeling. If you are going to Albania, this place is a must to visit and before you are booking flight tickets, you must check if you can make booking at least for few days in Artis Blue as they have only 2 rooms and you are lucky and blessed if you have possibility to visit this magical place. Its is really magical. I don't want to write about basic things, because everything is perfect there, just to mention few details like your own wine fridge and your own ice machine in apartment :) Location is also perfect to as its only few steps from promenade of Himare and you have best point of view to promenade from your terrace and windows. We also recommend to take boat tour for Himare coast, which was also amazing and can be recommended by host. We were also surprised by nice gift from the host in the end of our stay :) Albanian government should award their people keeping the places like that and taking such natural care of their visitors, because this is the best thing representing beauty of Albania and hospitality of Albanian people! We love you and we dream every night to come back soon :) Thank you one more time for our unforgettable experience!

Artemis is a wonderful host!

Beautiful setup with a great location. The hostess Marta was a gem - very helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!! Nothing
