Capital Point | Forbes Global Properties, an Albanian real estate firm exclusively dedicated to the ultra-luxury market, has been appointed the exclusive representative and advisory firm for Vlora Landmark, a transformative mixed-use luxury development positioned along the Lungomare with uninterrupted views across Sazan Island and the Zvernec coastline.
The appointment marks a defining moment for Albania’s evolving luxury real estate and hospitality sector, while underscoring the country’s emergence as one of Europe’s most closely watched coastal investment destinations.
Designed by Oppenheim Architecture and inspired by the country’s rich architectural heritage, Vlora Landmark introduces a new benchmark for luxury living on the Albanian Riviera. The development integrates a five-star resort operating under the prestigious Melia Collection brand, alongside serviced residences, a multi-use residential tower, spa and wellness facilities, boutique and fine dining experiences and a casino designed to further elevate the region’s international profile.
Conceived as both a lifestyle destination and long-term investment opportunity, the project combines beachfront living with hillside gardens that preserve the panoramic sea views while creating a sense of privacy and community. Residents and guests will have access to rooftop pools, a sky bar with panoramic views, curated amenities and direct beach access. Property owners will also have the opportunity to participate in an individual rental management program through the Melia Collection, allowing residences to generate passive income under one of the world’s leading hospitality brands.
“Vlora Landmark reflects Albania’s transformation into a globally recognized luxury destination,” said Ilda Zaloshnja, founder of Capital Point | Forbes Global Properties. “This project introduces a level of design, service and amenities that have historically been absent from the market, while also positioning Vlorë as part of the international conversation around luxury living, tourism and long-term investment.”
Situated at the southern gateway of Vlorë, one of Albania’s oldest and most historically significant coastal cities, Vlora Landmark occupies one of the country’s most sought-after waterfront locations. The development is positioned within walking distance of the city’s residential center, schools, hospitals, markets and institutions, while also benefiting from close proximity to Vlorë International Airport. Unlike many seasonal coastal developments, the project has been designed as a fully livable year-round community that seamlessly melds luxury hospitality with everyday urban infrastructure.
“Global capital is actively searching for destinations that offer authenticity and growth potential,” said Brandan Mativi, founder of Capital Point | Forbes Global Properties. “Albania is entering that phase and Vlora Landmark is at the center of this transition. Our role is to strategically connect institutional and private investors with projects that will define the country’s next chapter.”
The appointment of Capital Point | Forbes Global Properties comes at a pivotal stage in Albania’s economic and tourism expansion. As international visitor demand accelerates and infrastructure investment reshapes the country’s skyline, Albania is increasingly being recognized as one of the Mediterranean’s final large-scale luxury growth markets. In 2025 alone, Albania welcomed approximately 12.5 million foreign arrivals and generated more than USD $6.6 billion in tourism revenue, reflecting growing global interest.
At the same time, the country continues to experience a significant shortage of five-star accommodations, branded residences and institutional-grade luxury assets. Expanding airport connectivity, new marina developments, enhanced infrastructure and rising global tourism demand are rapidly positioning Albania within the broader Mediterranean investment landscape.
Within this environment, Capital Point | Forbes Global Properties serves as a leading advisory platform helping align international capital with Albania’s next generation of real estate development opportunities. The firm’s role in Vlora Landmark extends beyond sales representation, reflecting a broader strategy focused on introducing developments capable of redefining Albania’s coastal economy and elevating the country’s standing with the international luxury ecosystem.
