(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 2025-Jul-7 — /Travel PR News/ — MGallery Collection proudly unveils its debut Albanian retreat—Green Coast Hotel—nestled between the rugged peaks of the Balkans and the crystal-blue Ionian Sea. This 131-key sanctuary, accessible via the soon-to-open Vlora International Airport, marries sleek modernity with centuries-old Illyrian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman design influences. Guests can lounge on Palasë’s pebbled shores, explore the 2,400-year-old citadel of Berat, or follow in Julius Caesar’s fabled footsteps along the historic Caesar Trail.
Inside, minimalist rooms and suites (including five culturally inspired “heritage” suites and a Presidential Suite) feature soft curves, natural taupe stone, handwoven textiles, and Roman-style ceramics. Each window frames sweeping sea vistas and the undulating coastline beyond.
Culinary offerings celebrate Albanian tradition with a cosmopolitan twist. At Mosaic, seasonal small plates—from ceviche cured in lime to spice-kissed chicken tawook—are crafted from local harvests. Mente bar serves signature cocktails like the Golden Laurel (Raki infused with rosemary and sage) alongside sharing plates that reflect the region’s rich flavors. Off-site excursions include private vineyard tours, hands-on cooking classes, and honey tastings.
Wellness unfolds across five floors of serene spa and fitness spaces. Guests may embark on full-moon beach yoga, sunset sound-healing sessions, or guided hikes, then retreat to a poolside pavilion for massages and facials using indigenous botanicals, complemented by herbal teas and cold-pressed juices.
For an unforgettable “M Moment,” adventurers take to the skies at dawn: a gourmet mountaintop breakfast at sunrise, then paragliding down to a cliffside landing beside the legendary Julius Caesar coin, capped by a celebratory champagne toast.
Green Coast also champions community empowerment and environmental stewardship, partnering with UN Women’s local chapter to foster gender equality and build inclusive tourism. The property’s elegant meeting and conference venues, complete with panoramic terraces and bespoke catering, provide an inspired setting for gatherings of every scale.
