A newborn destination in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Vlora Marina is one of the first premium marinas in Albania, with the potential to become the top marina of the country. Strategically located between the Adriatic and Ionian seas, it combines a contemporary architecture, and a unique cultural heritage with the richness of its natural scenery, stunning sea views and unmatched climate of over 300 sunny days a year. A brand-new premium urban development that turns the city of Vlora into the most dynamic epicenter of the region.
This world-class destination offers its community, both visitors and locals, a lively and modern environment with a wide range of services, activities and commodities to choose from and enjoy alone, with friends or family. Its unique cultural and historical heritage, praised for the gastronomy, nature, tradition, and hospitality bring to life the authentic experience of Vlora Marina.
The starting point for the creation of this new brand was to define the brand's strategic platform, embodied in its brand manifesto:
“We celebrate life every day. We are restless for movement and adventure, but also gentle enough to make you feel at ease and comfortable. Here you can let your worries vanish with the warm breeze. This is where the air is salty and sweet memories are made. So set sail for new beginnings, new tastes, new perspectives, new possibilities.
You will live, experience, unwind and, above all, enjoy the day. And when the sunset melts in the skies, be sure there is a lot more to come. Maybe in your next visit, maybe every day. Here you are reminded of what really matters in life: human connection, experiences, delicious tastes and beauty of all sorts. It’s the meeting point of heavenly beaches, natural wonders and a sense of living history, in a place that combines past and future, traditional and modern.
In Vlora Marina there is so much to discover, and it still feels like home. Inspired by the sea and guided by the winds, we invite you to let the good times come in waves.”
The uniqueness of the double reading for the V+M monogram leads us to the brand's core values: vitality, authenticity, accessibility.
