D-Marin’s premium services come to Albania through partnership with the country’s only world-class marina

Vlora Marina joins D-Marin’s existing portfolio of 23 marinas across the Mediterranean and Gulf regions and marks the operator’s continuously expanding presence in another new country, its ninth to date. The partnership will enable customers travelling from nearby D-Marin marinas in Croatia and Corfu access to premium marina services in Albania.

D-Marin brings its sector-pioneering marina management approach to Vlora Marina, setting new standards of premium service through unique customer experiences and digital innovations.

Vlora Marina, currently under construction, is set to revolutionize yachting tourism in Albania and catalyse the expansion of the nautical sector. Vlora Marina will offer 438 berths for year-round mooring for yachts and superyachts up to 50 meters in length overall, providing much-anticipated premium marina facilities to the country’s 426 km coastline.

Complementing the comprehensive premium offering of Vlora Marina itself are plans for an expansive promenade, weaving along the 2-km beach stretching beside the marina. The promenade will feature premium restaurants and bars, a signature spa, as well as high-end retail and entertainment facilities. Future developments also include a limited number of upscale apartments and the construction of international-standard 5-star hotels.

Gyozo Lantos, D-Marin’s Director of Mergers and Acquisitions, said: “This strategic partnership with Vlora Marina is an exciting step into a new market. D-Marin is passionate about yachting in the Mediterranean and our selection of marinas enable yacht owners to enjoy premium services at each step of their voyage across the region. We are thrilled to bring this high-potential yachting hub to life and enhance the city of Vlorë through the growth of nautical tourism.”

Customers will be able to enjoy the premium D-Marin experience at Vlora Marina upon completion of the project in early 2027. Vlorë is Albania’s third largest city, located at the meeting point of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, and represents a vibrant destination rich in traditions.
