About

A private villa, a minute from the sea.

Villa 4 is a private residence within the gated Thymus Resort in Drymadhes, a quiet part of the Albanian Riviera where the coast still feels open, natural, and unhurried.

The Residence

A contemporary Mediterranean villa, set into the hillside above Drymadhes beach.

Few coastlines in the Mediterranean still feel this direct. Villa 4 does not try to compete with the landscape. The design is restrained: natural textures, clean lines, shaded outdoor spaces, and wide openings toward the sea. It is private without feeling isolated, refined without feeling formal, and practical enough for real vacation days.

The villa

The layout is simple and easy to live in. The three bedrooms are generous and restful, paired with three bathrooms. The living area opens toward the sea, with a fireplace for cooler nights and heated floors for the months outside peak summer.

The kitchen is fully equipped, with integrated appliances, so staying in feels as easy as going out. The villa works well for families, couples, or friends who want to share time together without giving up privacy.

Materials and palette

The house takes its palette from the hillside. Microcement walls, brushed oak and pine, tile floors, black-framed glass, and matte fixtures give the villa a quiet, grounded feeling.

Outside, timber, stone, shade, and water soften the edges. Nothing is overly decorated. The materials are calm because the setting already has enough to say.

Philosophy

"Villa 4 is built around a simple idea: a beach stay should feel effortless."

You do not need to schedule the sea. You can walk down for a swim, come back for lunch, rest by the pool, and return to the beach before sunset. Guests have the entire villa to themselves — indoor living spaces, private plunge pool, shaded veranda, outdoor lounge, dining area, and sun loungers. Thymus Resort is a gated community, and Villa 4 is accessed with keyless entry.
