Lastminute.com is offering two nights at Hotel Luxury in Ksamil, Albania, with direct return flights from London Stansted and breakfast included, for £118 per person. Local fees bring the total to £119pp, or £238 for two, with ATOL protection. Travel is 6–8 October 2026.
Ksamil sits at the southern tip of the Albanian Riviera, a few kilometres from the Greek border. The water’s turquoise and shallow, the beaches are white sand, and Corfu is visible across the water on a clear day. It’s grown steadily in popularity with British visitors on Albania holidays over the past three years, though it’s still far less visited, and far cheaper, than its Greek neighbours.
What’s on offer
The package covers a Double Room with a balcony at Hotel Luxury, a four-star property in central Ksamil rated 4.5 out of 5 from 114 reviews on lastminute.com. Breakfast’s included throughout.
- Direct return flights on Ryanair from London Stansted. The outbound departs at 06:00 on 6 October, arriving in Tirana at 09:55. The return departs Tirana at 11:00 on 8 October, arriving Stansted at 13:05.
- Two nights in a Double Room with a balcony (30m², one queen bed, private bathroom, soundproofed).
- Daily breakfast.
- Two small personal item bags per booking. Cabin bags and checked luggage cost extra with Ryanair.
- ATOL financial protection.
Availability’s reasonable but not open-ended. Five rooms remain on lastminute.com at this rate, as of 14 September 2026.
Before you book
- Tirana Airport isn’t near Ksamil. The drive takes around three hours, so you’ll need to arrange transport separately, whether that’s a shared minibus or a private taxi.
- This rate is non-refundable. Check lastminute.com’s cancellation terms before you pay if your plans might change.
The verdict
Ksamil at this rate is hard to beat. The same route and hotel cost £395pp when we last checked this deal in September, for a larger two-bedroom room. This October package covers a smaller double room, but at £119pp all in for direct flights, a four-star hotel and breakfast, it’s roughly a third of that price. The trade-off is the same as before: a short stay and a long transfer at each end.
- Book this if you want a quiet, blue-water break under three hours’ flying time and don’t mind a long airport transfer.
- Skip it if you want a longer stay, a family-sized room, or a fully refundable rate.
Prices and availability change quickly, and vary by travel date, departure airport and party size.

Frequently asked questions
Is this good value?
Yes. Direct flights from Stansted to Tirana aren’t on a busy route, so a return fare alone is rarely cheap, and £119pp for that plus a four-star hotel with breakfast for two nights is a genuine drop from the £395pp we saw on the same route in September. Only five rooms are left at this price, so it’s worth booking soon if the dates suit.
