A gem of an apartment right on the beach about as close to the water as you can get with sun lounges right out in front. Water is super clear and clean here due to fresh water springs from the mountains. Petro was very welcoming and attentive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

The accommodation is excellent with direct access to the crystal-clear sea, just a few meters across a pebble beach. Thanks to the private beach, we always had sunbeds and umbrellas available. The apartments are air-conditioned, clean, and regularly serviced. What makes the stay truly exceptional is the kindness, helpfulness, and outstanding service of the owners, Petro and her father – once again, thank you very much for the wonderful stay you helped create.

From the moment we arrived we had the most wonderful trip with Petro!! Petro is an incredibly kind and generous host - ensuring we felt welcomed and showed us around the property and beach. We felt we were staying with a family who truly cared about us! The apartment was lovely, tidy and clean, and had everything we needed for basic cooking. We were able to sit on the balcony and look straight into the ocean and enjoy the most stunning views!! Bonus points as Petro has umbrellas and chairs on the beach for you to enjoy. Any questions we had, or restaurant recommendations we needed, Petro gave the best answers! We will be coming back next year and we cannot wait already! Thank you Petro

We loved the beachfront location (private beach with their own free sun-lounges and umbrellas), the exceptional service from the friendly host Petros (suggested great restaurants…even booked taxis for us), and the spectacular views from the balcony.

The apartments are wonderful, the location is absolutely excellent, you step literally off the property straight onto the beach. There are great sun umbrellas and beach beds for hotel guest use. Parking is perfect, secure and off road. Again. Literally across the road is a min mart, multiple restaurants and bars surround the property and you can walk just 50 meters to a beach bar. The apartment has a small kitchen, so we self catered for breakfast and lunch. The outstanding point of this property though is the host Petro. Petro was charming, full of local information and always on hand with a smile and a cheerful greeting. A wonderful stay!

Perfect location for beach holidays - just on the beach. Small privat beach with sun umbrellas ( included in price ) in front of the house. Balcony wit sea view. Privat parking ( 7 eur/day ). Very friendly host Petro. He gave us lot of advises. Many restaurants close to the house.

Stayed in June 2025

Somewhat small shower; ease of accidentally getting bathroom floor wet.

Access to the beach, umbrellas and loungers. Proximity to the markets, and restaurants. Ability to park onsite. Care and attention the multi-generational owners took in everything they did, from room cleaning to property maintenance and upkeep.

Only suggestion that could maybe make the room a bit better is shutters/blind at the kitchen window to keep it darker early in morning, and extra pillows.

Probably the best located room I’ve ever stayed in! Literally right on a beautiful beach, and we had a room at the back with the most incredible sea views from our balcony and the sound of the waves to sleep to. Appreciated the sunbeds and parasols available for use but tucked away so that the little stretch of beach in front of the apartments felt untouched. We had plans to do lots of day trips to other towns and beaches but struggled to tear ourselves away from Potam beach in the end! Short, easy walk to Himare town, but Potami also has great restaurants and bars, personally I preferred being here than right in Himare. Comfortable beds, and decently appointed room. Hosts were brilliant, Petro was really friendly and helpful with lots of tips on local area. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, but hope to return! Would recommend.

Only that we couldn't stay longer!

Please do yourself a favour and stay here when visting Himarë! The best part of this property is the location. It's in a quieter/less touristy part of Himarë (which we wanted) but still on the main road with direct beach access. We loved feeling like we were living amongsts locals and taking advantage of a pristine and empty beach. The apartment itself was perfect, clean and comfortable. But the most amazing part is the view that we were lucky enough to have. Our balcony overlooked the private beach and the stunning water and rugged coastline, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a sunset drink. Petro was an incredibly kind and gracious host, who welcomed us upon arrival and spent some time chatting and getting to know us. He was able to answer all our questions (both prior to and during our stay) and provided a number of recommendations for local places to eat and things to do. Petro runs the property with his family, and we were so happy to be supporting such a high-quality, family-run business. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Himarë and would encourage anyone looking for accommodation in the area to consider Magic Ionian. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

On a Friday night some youngsters gathered nearby for a beach party. Not much you can do about that other than bring earplugs. Waking up in the morning to the tranquil sound of ocean waves made up for it. Also, the lamps by the bed had barely enough light to read by, but this is a minor issue.

Originally I planned on staying 2 nights but I extended to 4 nights, that's how much I enjoyed my solo holiday here. I stayed in two different rooms, first with ocean view, then facing the back. Both were spacious, comfortable and clean, although quite basic. It's a no-frills family-guesthouse style accommodation. The owner is super friendly, helpful and responsive. Most of all, the location perfectly met my needs for a quiet, relaxing corner on a beach with immediate access to crystal clear waters, plenty of restaurant options and a minimarket within walking distance, plus a beautiful sunset view. I'd love to stay here again.

There was nothing to complain about; everything was great.

The accommodation was perfectly located with everything we needed, offering a stunning sea view. The direct beach access was amazing, and the host, Pedro, was very friendly and welcoming.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Location with direct beach access was super convenient and allowed for unobscured views of the water. Petro was extremely accomodating and a helpful point of contact. Would happily stay here again in future.

The worst part was that I had to leave

Incredible property with amazing staff. Petro was so helpful and made my stay even more memorable! This property is even more beautiful than the pictures, right on the water on a secluded part of the beach. Clean, spacious rooms with everything you could need. Property is situated perfectly, close to restaurants, super markets and everything you could want. Can’t wait to return.

You pay extra for private parking as this is limited to 3 cars (7€ a day). Not a big deal but good to know before hand.

The host Petro was so welcoming and kind. The location is perfect, beach front on the quieter end of the beach with crystal clear water and free beach chairs/umbrellas. This place was our favourite stop in Albania! There are many restaurants a short walk away and mini mart. Air con worked well, good sized room and lovely balcony. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at Magic Ionian Apartments & Rooms. The apartment hotel is located with direct access to the beach with crystal clear water. We had the Two room apartment on the ground floor which was perfect for us as a family. The apartment was simple but it had everything we needed for our stay. Everything you need is close by - a grocery store and a cafe is 50m away and plenty of restaurant are also nearby. We would definitely like to come back. Thanks Petro and family for a great vacation

This is a truly family run place, and the owners are extremely hospitable, friendly and helpful. The rooms/flats are right on the beach, which is perfect. We were in the ground floor flat, which was wonderful for our children, as they also had access to a small garden to play in, as well as the beach. It is outstanding value for money and a definite 10/10. The rooms are very simple, but comfortable, and their simplicity is why they are in the price bracket they are in. It is not a hotel, so the rooms aren't cleaned every day, but we stayed 5 nights, and the room was cleaned thoroughly once and also given a quick clean another day. We were satisfied with the cleanliness. The beach is a stony one, and it's a little steep, but personally I like beaches which don't have too much shallow water, and you are almost immediately swimming. You have everything you need very close by - a grocery store is about 50m away and there are plenty of good restaurants and cafes nearby. A particular favourite of ours was Stolis, just 200m up the road. The town centre with more restaurants, bars and shops is just a 15-20 min walk away along a nice promenade. Do remember to specify if you are driving. Parking space is limited to three cars and is charged extra, and space is a bit tight (but perfectly manageable). Overall, I strongly recommend.
