About Kep Merli

Exploring the southern coast of Albania, sunshine, deep blue water and ancient paths of history blend with one another in the highest state of tranquility. Saranda excels at providing its visitors and inhabitants with these three fundamental elements at their best, making the city one of the most prominent touristic destinations in the country. The islands of Ksamil and their incomparable beaches and vegetation are an added value to the town’s offerings.


Right in the middle of this natural haven, lie the two peninsulas, facing just 2 km to the north, the ancient island of Corfu.

The area’s immense cultural heritage can be absorbed from both sides of the Ionic sea, as the ancient city of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located right next door to the peninsulas. Tales of Illyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Ottomans and Britons, have been left undisturbed for curiosity to explore, in a crossroad where centuries intersect to resonate throughout eternity.

This magical place was given the name of “Kep Merli” or Blackbird Cape, after the bird colonies inhabiting the myrtle shrubs in the area centuries ago. These dense myrtle shrubs that dominated the land, also referred to as the mythical plants of Aphrodite, were regarded as a symbol of well being and profound beauty. Local inhabitants named the site “Blackbird Forest”.

The ecological approach to architecture used throughout the resort’s conception, has enabled the construction of a natural system with carefully applied human values, encouraging the blackbirds to return once again. Respecting nature remains the ultimate guideline to our concept of a harmonized 21st century sustainable architecture.Supporting the site’s natural ways will create a circle of reciprocal caring between the ecosystem and its inhabitants. This requires blending both local and international expertise, craftsmanship and resources.
