Why here
Kala put the Albanian Riviera on the electronic music map: since 2018, one early-June week fills Dhermi's beach village with six open-air stages wedged between the Ceraunian mountains and the Ionian, in a boutique accommodation-inclusive format capped at a few thousand guests. Clash called it the new standard for beachside festivals, and the cap is the point: you swim at the stage you danced at, the headliners eat at the next table, and the village stays a village. Sold out is the permanent condition; the announcement of dates is the starting gun.
Best months
Annual, one week in early June: the 2026 edition ran June 3-9, and June 2-9 2027 is announced on the official site. Capacity is roughly three to four thousand and sells out; packages bundle lodging. Early June water is already swimmable.
Getting there & around
Fly to Corfu and ferry to Saranda, or Tirana and drive four hours over the Llogara Pass. Packages include accommodation; independent rooms in the village vanish at announcement.
