From Saranda to Ksamil: the party venues along the coast road, in order
Our party venues, in order along one coast road: 12.7 km from Saranda's seafront to Greg Beach in Ksamil.
How far is Ksamil from Saranda? From the 2026 boat departure point on Saranda's seafront to Greg Beach in Ksamil it's 12.7 km by road, about 21 minutes by car. Along the way, and a kilometre past Greg Beach, sit our party venues: a boat that boarded on the promenade in 2026, the ones further south on Rruga Butrinti, and those in Ksamil. Here they are in order, north to south, with the distances between them.
One road, two towns
Saranda and Ksamil are linked by Rruga Butrinti, the SH81, which runs south from Saranda to Ksamil and on towards Butrint. All the land venues on this site lined up along this route, and in 2026 the Boat Party Vikingen and Le Classico sailed from Saranda's seafront promenade, Shëtitorja Naim Frashëri.
All distances in this article were measured on OpenStreetMap routing between the map pins of the official ticket pages, on 21 October 2026. Driving times are without traffic and don't include waiting for a ride.
Saranda seafront: the Vikingen boat
Start on the promenade. The Boat Party Vikingen and Le Classico boarded here in 2026. The Boat Party Vikingen, on Saturday 5 September, promised stops for a swim, three dance floors, foam on deck and an open bar, from 17:30 to 21:00 according to its poster. Le Classico – French Boat Party went out on Sundays in August: on board from 17:30, away at 18:00, back at 21:00. On Fridays the same boat ran a White Party, boarding at 23:00; its poster printed no boarding point, so check your ticket. The listings give the address as Shëtitorja Naim Frashëri, Saranda.
Lost Seaside: the first stop on Rruga Butrinti
Head south on Rruga Butrinti and Lost Seaside comes first: 0.9 km from the boat point by road, about two minutes by car, or 1.1 km on foot, about 15 minutes. Its 2026 party was the all-white Sunset Edition, billed for every Tuesday, 20:00 to midnight; the date on sale was Tuesday 1 September.
Bougainville Bay Resort & SPA: next door
Just 240 metres further on, about three minutes on foot, is Bougainville Bay Resort & SPA. On Thursday 3 September 2026 its sea-view infinity pool was the stage for the Infinity Sunset Pool Party, 19:00 to midnight. From the seafront it's 1.3 km on foot, about 17 minutes.
Lost Seaside and Bougainville Bay are so close that you can treat them as one stop: one ride out of town, two venues.

The open stretch: on to Ksamil
Beyond Bougainville Bay, Rruga Butrinti carries on south, out of Saranda and towards Ksamil. Mulino Beach, the first of our Ksamil venues, is the next stop, and this is the long stretch to plan a ride for: a taxi, your own car, or a transfer when a party offers one. In 2026 the Latin Pool Party listed a departure point for its transfer on the ticket page.
Parties mentioned
Mulino Beach: the northern edge of Ksamil
Mulino Beach is the first venue you reach in Ksamil coming from Saranda, 11.3 km from the seafront, about 19 minutes by car. Its 2026 party was the Latin Pool Party: six dates on sale, on Mondays and Fridays between 14 August and 4 September, 18:30 to midnight, with reggaeton and dembow around the pool.
Greg Beach: white Sundays and French nights at one address
Greg Beach is 1.6 km on from Mulino by road, about four minutes by car; on foot it's 1.8 km, about 25 minutes. It hosted more parties than any other venue on this site in 2026: the Sunday White Party, Marrakech on Tuesdays in August, La Parisienne on Wednesday 2 September and LA FRENCH on Friday 4 September. The three French nights started at 23:30 or midnight and went on until 04:30 or 05:00.

Picking a base: Saranda or Ksamil
The road splits the venues neatly. Stay near Saranda's seafront and you have Lost Seaside and Bougainville Bay within about 17 minutes on foot; in 2026 the Boat Party Vikingen and Le Classico boarded on the promenade itself. Stay in Ksamil and Mulino Beach, Greg Beach and Principotes are all within 2.6 km of each other. Our where-to-stay guide weighs up the two.
Which end of the road, which night
On the 2026 dates on this site, the two ends of the coast road shared out the week. Our Ksamil parties ran on every day except Thursday, and Monday was Ksamil's alone, with the Latin Pool Party at Mulino Beach. Thursday was Saranda's, with the Infinity Sunset Pool Party at Bougainville Bay, and on the Saranda side the boat took the weekend: the Vikingen had dates on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
