The only Hotel with a Unique View of Vlora’s Government Residence and Historical Heritage
Vlora is a destination where the sea, history, and natural beauty come together in a truly unique way. However, choosing the right hotel is no longer only about room comfort or proximity to the beach. For many travelers, the view, the atmosphere, and the story behind a location are just as important as the services and facilities it offers.
Located in the Uji i Ftohtë area of Vlora, Britannia Resort & Spa offers exactly this combination.
From the resort’s rooms and common areas, guests can enjoy a unique perspective towards Vlora’s Government Residence, a location historically associated with Mehmet Shehu, former Prime Minister of Albania during the communist period.

This view adds another dimension to the Britannia Resort & Spa experience: in front of the resort, guests are not only surrounded by a beautiful coastal landscape, but also by a remarkable piece of Albania’s modern history.

The Government Residence and the Historical Villa of Former Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu
The Government Residences in Uji i Ftohtë represent an important part of Vlora’s modern history.
One of the most recognized villas within this complex is historically connected with Mehmet Shehu, who served for many years as Prime Minister of Albania. Historical references describe the villa as a building located in a remarkable position along the southern coastline, while published accounts indicate that construction works connected with the villa continued during the early 1980s.
Following Albania’s political changes, the villa and the surrounding area continued to serve as part of the Government Residence of Vlora. Over the years, the location has hosted various institutional meetings and government activities.
Today, the building represents not only an institutional site but also a distinctive element of the Uji i Ftohtë landscape.
