Albania, from30,000 euros

WITH figures from the Bankof Albania showing tourismrevenue in the Balkan nationrose by an impressive 17% in2011 – reaching 1.3bn euros –Albania is proving a savvychoice for those looking toinvest in the holiday lettingsmarket.

Commenting on Albania’spotential, Kate Stinchcombe-Gillies, head of communica-tions at Holidaylettings.co.uk,one of the busiest holidayhome rental websites in theUK, said: “Albania is a newterritory in 2012 for the hol-iday lettings marketplace. Thedestinations showing promiseare the seaside spots of Vloreand Durres.

“Vlore offers a combinationof a city break holiday withstunning coastline, beautifulbeaches and great nightlifealongside UNESCO sites. Typ-ical holiday apartment pricesrange from £285-£490 per weekduring peak season, which isfantastic value for money fortravellers. BA’s commitmentto the country, with up to fiveflights a week into Tirana,suggests this is a promisingarea for both savvy travellersand investors to exploresomething as yet untapped bythe masses.

“Indeed, Albania offerssome of the lowest prices andtaxes across Europe and,

along with robust economicgrowth, offers plenty ofopportunity for buy-to-letinvestors.”

Ravin Maharajah, partnerof Lalzit Bay Resort & Spa, afive star luxury residentialdevelopment on Albania’sAdriatic coastline, added:“Rising tourism levels foun-

ded on new regional transportinfrastructure continue toincrease the demand foraccommodation. This is gen-erating considerable potentialfor buy-to-let investors inAlbania. And, with the nationreceiving four million visitorslast year, there is huge poten-tial to grab a slice of the

action. Indeed, we expect thatthere will be strong rentaldemand in Lalzit Bay based onthe exclusivity of the resort,the facilities on offer and thequality of the finished prop-erties. We have estimated thata two bed apartment costing70,000 euros will generaterents of 500 euros per week

over the peak summer monthsat 75% occupancy, giving anannual gross rental income of6,000 euros – that’s an overallrental yield of 8.57%.”

Lalzit Bay Resort and Spaoffers a premium, exclusiveproduct to investors who wantthe benefits of villa ownershipincluding private gardens and

terraces, exclusive servicesand more privacy as well as arange of facilities includingprivate swimming pools, abarbecue area, tennis courtsand superb restaurants for aslittle as 30,000 euros.■ For more information, con-tact Lalzit Bay on 0845 125 8600or visit www.lalzitbay.com.
