DUA Lipa has been all over the world – according to her Instagram posts, from Italy to France, and of course, Albania.
In fact Dua’s love of the Albanian Riviera has resulted in soaring popularity – and for good reason.

It might not be the first place that comes to your mind when looking for a holiday – but parts of Albania have incredible beaches with beautiful seaside towns.
And it’s getting more popular too with statistics revealing that tourists visiting Albania nearly doubled from 6.4million in 2019 to 11.7million in 2024.

It’s no surprise that certain destinations have become more popular – some look like they belong in the Maldives.
One spot that has featured on Dua Lipa‘s social media is the pretty village Ksamil which is made up of four islands.
The village is in the south of Albania very close to Corfu – in fact on a clear day you can see across to the island.
Ksamil has white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and offshore islands that you can swim to from the mainland.
There are more private rentals than big hotels in Ksamil – and on Booking.com they start from as little as £51 per night in September.
The easiest way to get to Ksamil is actually to fly into Corfu Airport and take a quick ferry crossing across.
Another spot that Dua Lipa has highlighted is the seaside village, Dhermi, which in the summertime is called a ‘bustling seaside paradise’.
It has pebbled beaches, beach clubs, a historic old town, and one of the biggest attractions is Pirates’ Cave.

Visitors can explore the natural sea cave by boat – and as the name suggests, it was used by pirates.
They used the sea cave to store stolen goods and hide their ships in the 17th and 18th centuries.
For larger resort towns, Sarandë is a popular one, and known as the ‘city’ of the Riviera.
It’s surrounded by the blue waters of the Ionian Sea with seafood restaurants and cheap beer, with pints as little as £1.30.
Popular coastal spots in the area include Pulebardha Beach which visitors have described as “magnificent”.
Another is Plazhi Pasqyra or Mirror Beach, which one local called their “favourite beach in the area” with “beautiful underwater reefs.”

It’s cheap too, for example, a room at Kalemi’s Beachside Hotel in Sarandë can be book for as little as £45 per night in September.
Albania is hot during the summer months too with July and August temperatures reaching highs of 38C.
Getting there doesn’t take long either, flights from the UK to Tirana are just over three hours.
Or if you fancy getting to Ksamil, a flight to Corfu takes three hours 10-minutes followed by an hour sailing.
Dua Lipa has taken her London property empire to four pads by snapping up two more swish homesCredit: APThe pop sensation has just dropped around £1m on a two-bed flat in London’s Leicester Square areaCredit: Google Maps
And another £1m went on a flat in north London which is next door to a pad with a similar price tag she already owns.
Dua also has a pad in Hampstead worth £7m.
A firm called Chiltern Court Ltd, of which she is a “person of significant control” took out loans from the royal family’s banker Coutts & Co and OneSavings Bank Plc to fund the purchases.
That’s despite the chart topper being worth £150m.

The couple arrived at the hotel on Monday after they drove from Palermo where they had a huge wedding bash that was attended by several A-listers.
In new photos, the pair looked every inch the loved-up couple, as they soaked up the sunshine in Sicily.
They were pictured in the sea on a float with their hands all over each other.
In one snap, Dua was seen on top her new husband as they enjoyed a kiss, while he couldn’t resist but give her bum a squeeze.

Dua showed off her toned figure in a silver thong bikini and matching top.
They were also seen with their eyes firmly locked on each other as they gazed into each other’s eyes, with Dua placing her hands on his face.
The duo looked smitten as Callum wrapped his arms around Dua’s waist.
The One Kiss hitmaker animatedly pulled an excitable expression with her hands up in the air.
Dua was then seen relaxing on the inflatable float, while Callum held onto the side.

She showed off her sunkissed glow in the two-piece swimwear and wore a black and white bandana on her head.
The couple are staying at a lavish £4k-a-night Italian hotel.
Earlier this week, they were seen walking through the town of Taormina hand-in-hand as they explored.
The hotel where the pair are residing for their honeymoon might be recognisable to some, this is because it was made famous in the HBO series The White Lotus.

Known for its stunning clifftop setting and jaw dropping view of the volcano Mount Etna, the resort is more than fit for the A-listers.
The hotel is The Four Seasons Hotel San Domenico Palace, and it was the main location for the second season of the hit HBO series.
The pair tied the knot last weekend prior with a string of famous faces in attendance.
Elton John, 79, who flew in by private jet for the ceremony, and Dua are close friends after they collaborated on the track Cold Heart in 2021.
Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace, 71, was also at the wedding, held in the grounds of the 18th-century Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, and is believed to have designed Dua’s dress.
Other A-list guests at their Sicily bash included Brit actor Joe Alwyn, American actress Grace Gummer and her husband DJ Mark Ronson, and pop star Charli XCX and her husband George Daniel, the drummer with The 1975.
Some guests were understood to have signed non-disclosure agreements to protect the privacy of the star-studded three-day celebrations, which kicked off on Friday.
The villa where the lavish wedding bash happened, which also featured in HBO drama The White Lotus 2, is widely considered one of the most historically and culturally significant villas in Sicily.
Amid the vow renewal, following their London ceremony, music legend Elton John serenaded the couple with a rendition of his smash hit ‘Your Song’ in an incredibly emotional and touching moment.
The ceremony kicked off at 5pm and lasted for around an hour with guests arriving from 3:30pm in a whopping 60 minivans.
The bride and groom turned up in a luxury Mercedes Maybach Class V at 3pm prompt to greet their guests ahead of the nuptials.
