DJ SAvvy is excited to announce her appearance at he Albania South Trip in May 2025! If you’ve ever daydreamed about dancing on a sun-kissed beach, sharing traditional Albanian meals under olive trees, or waking up to a view of the Ionian Sea — the Albania South Trip in May 2025 might be your next big adventure.
More than just a holiday, this Afro Latin-infused journey is a one-of-a-kind cultural deep dive, where movement, music, and Mediterranean vibes all come together.
TL;DR: Why This Isn’t Your Average Beach Trip

- Where will you go — and how different is it from the usual “south of Albania” tours?
- Who is this trip actually for? (Hint: Not just dancers!)
- What’s the mix between fun, dancing, and downtime?
- Why May is the perfect time to explore Albania’s southern coast
So, What Is the Albania South Trip in May 2025?
The Albania South Trip is a week-long group travel experience curated by Albania Afro Latin, blending cultural immersion with dance, beach vibes, and local food.
Running from May 19–26, 2025, the journey starts in Tirana and weaves down the picturesque Albanian Riviera. Along the way, travelers visit ancient towns, hidden beaches, traditional villages, and dance under the stars with music from all over the Afro Latin diaspora.
Unlike traditional tours, this trip isn’t just about seeing places — it’s about feeling them. One moment, you’re hiking to a waterfall. The next, you’re dancing Kizomba at a clifftop villa. And in between? There’s homemade food, new friends, and stories you’ll still be telling five years from now.
Not Just Beaches: Where This Trip Takes You
When people hear “Albania south trip,” they might think of Saranda or Ksamil. And sure — those postcard-perfect spots make an appearance. But this experience takes you off the beaten path, hitting locations that don’t show up in tourist brochures.
Here’s the general route (without giving away too many surprises):
- Tirana: The trip kicks off in Albania’s lively capital, where the group meets and gets their first taste of the local nightlife.
- Himarë: A sleepy beach town where time slows down and the water’s impossibly blue.
- Gjirokastër: This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a stone-built wonder filled with history and panoramic views.
- Porto Palermo: An underrated bay with a castle, quiet coves, and a touch of mystery.
- Secret beaches and mountain drives: This is where the magic really happens — no spoilers, but trust us, you’ll want your camera.
What makes this different from cookie-cutter tours is that each location is chosen not just for beauty, but for connection — with nature, with the locals, and with each other.
Is It a Dance Trip or a Travel Trip?
Here’s where it gets interesting: it’s both. The Albania South Trip is run by a team deeply rooted in the Afro Latin dance scene — so yes, there’s dancing. But it’s never overwhelming, and always balanced.
Think sunset socials, spontaneous Kizomba by the beach, and intro classes that even complete beginners will love. If you’re more into exploring than dancing, you’ll never feel left out — and if you’re itching for more rhythm, there’s always a speaker nearby.
So who’s it for?
- Solo travelers looking to connect with others
- Couples who want adventure with a romantic twist
- Dancers who love travel, and travelers who are curious about dance
Basically, if you like good vibes, great food, warm people, and spontaneous joy, you’ll fit right in.
What’s Included — and What’s Not?
The package for 2025 is packed with value, covering:
- 7 nights of accommodation
- Daily breakfasts and several group meals
- Ground transportation throughout the trip
- Local guides and immersive cultural stops
- Dance sessions, socials, and sunset experiences
- Entrance fees to major sites
What’s not included? Your flights to and from Albania, most lunches and dinners (outside the organized meals), travel insurance, and your personal extras.
You’ll want to arrive in Tirana by May 19 and plan your departure for May 26. Pro tip: stay an extra day or two in Tirana if you can. The city is full of surprises — and after the trip, you might not want to say goodbye just yet.
Why May Is the Best Time to Visit the South of Albania
Most tourists show up in July and August, when the beaches are packed, prices spike, and the heat is real. But May in Albania is something else.
- The weather? Warm days, cool evenings — perfect for exploring or dancing outdoors.
- The crowds? Basically nonexistent. You’ll have entire coves to yourselves.
- The vibe? Locals are relaxed, everything is in bloom, and there’s space to breathe.
It’s the kind of month that feels like a secret — and this trip is built to help you enjoy every part of it.
What Other Sites Won’t Tell You
Other pages might list the itinerary or share glossy photos, but what they don’t always show is the community that forms on trips like this. It’s not about how many beaches you visit. It’s about the dinner conversations. The local lady who invites you into her garden. The DJ who plays that one song that makes everyone stop mid-sip and start dancing barefoot.
It’s the kind of travel that feels personal. That sticks with you. And with Albania Afro Latin behind the wheel, it’s run with heart and care — not corporate polish.
