Our Story

Sea, sunset, and the good life

At Porto Vivo your feet are in the sand and your drink catches the last gold of the day. We sit right on the beach in Durrës, facing the open Adriatic, where the afternoon slows down and the evening glows warm.

Come for an espresso at noon, a scoop of gelato in the heat, a draft beer as the sun drops, and stay for cocktails and live music under the string lights. This is the Albanian Riviera at its most alive.

The Experience

Three ways to live the Adriatic

From the first coffee to the last cocktail, Porto Vivo is built around the water and the light.

Tables set on the sand at the water's edge

Beachfront dining

Tables on the sand, steps from the water. Fresh light bites and aperitivo with the sea as your horizon.

Rooftop terrace & live music
