Welcome to an unspoiled corner of the Albanian coast. In Lukova, nestled within an ancient olive grove where centuries-old trees whisper softly in the wind, we’ve created a simple and rare experience: a landscape shaped into terraces of natural stone, each with its own sense of peace and privacy, connected by handmade stone steps and walls. All around us lies nothing but untouched forest—thousands of square meters of dense vegetation where the mountain meets the sea. Just a little farther on, the Ionian Sea opens up in serene silence. A hand-built path winds gently through the trees, leading you to the shore in just 5–6 minutes on foot, with the deep blue sea as your constant companion. In this wide open space, we have placed only 10 spacious, tall tents—high enough to stand comfortably inside—each with two raised beds for a restful sleep. At night, the stars appear through the branches of ancient olive trees. During the day, there is only the sound of the sea, birdsong, and time moving slowly. On a platform overlooking the sea with a 180-degree view, we serve coffee, local herbal teas, cold drinks, and homemade meals—flavors drawn from the surrounding land and prepared with care. This is our first fully open season: tents, mattresses, and everything else are brand new. The price includes both beds in the tent and breakfast. During the day, upon request, we can also provide additional meals or snacks. Bookings open on April 10, 2026.

Hello! I’m Adrian, and I’m delighted to welcome you to our little hideaway among ancient olive trees and the Ionian Sea. This place was born from a simple dream: to create a quiet, genuine space immersed in nature — a place where you can truly switch off and breathe a little more slowly. When we found this old olive grove, we fell in love with its silence, the wind whispering through the branches, and the shifting colors of the sea. From that moment on, we started building everything step by step, with our own hands. Every stone, every pathway, every terrace carries a piece of our story, and it’s a joy to share it with those who travel all the way here. I love welcoming guests personally, hearing their stories, and being around for a suggestion, a smile, or simply a shared coffee with a sea view. There’s no rush here — time moves differently, and I hope you’ll feel that as soon as you arrive. Our idea of hospitality is simple: to make everyone feel at home, even while being far away from everyday life. We’re here to make your stay special, relaxing, and filled with quiet beauty. I look forward to meeting you among the olive trees. 🌿

Lukova is a small coastal village on Albania’s stunning Ionian Riviera, known for its dramatic mountain-to-sea landscapes and a pace of life that feels wonderfully unhurried. Terraced hillsides covered in ancient olive groves descend toward hidden coves and crystal-clear waters, creating one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in the region. Its beaches—ranging from long, pebbly shores to small, secluded inlets—are framed by untouched nature, making Lukova feel remote without being far from the main southern road that connects Saranda and Himara. Beyond its natural beauty, Lukova retains the atmosphere of a traditional Albanian village. Stone houses, quiet lanes, and family-run tavernas reflect a simple, authentic way of life rooted in the land and sea. Visitors often come for the scenery but stay for the stillness: the sound of the wind through the olive trees, the soft rhythm of the waves, and the sense of stepping into a place where time slows down. It’s an ideal base for those seeking both tranquility and exploration along Albania’s wild and beautiful coastline.
