La propriété — Relax
A functional one-nighter for ferry passengers or budget travellers passing through Divjake, the Relax feels more like a roadside motel than a destination hotel. The lobby is sparse — a reception desk, two plastic chairs, a faint smell of cleaning fluid. It's clean, cheap and accepts last-minute bookings without fuss, but you wouldn't linger. Suits anyone needing a bed for a sleep-and-go, not a stay.
Chroniques de Divjake
Divjake began as a small agricultural settlement in the Myzeqe plain, a flat, fertile region drained in the 20th century for farming. Its modern identity was shaped by the nearby Divjake-Karavasta National Park, established in 2007 to protect the lagoon and its migratory birds. The town itself remains a low-rise, roadside service centre, with little architectural heritage but a practical role as the gateway to the beach and the park. Locals still farm olives, corn and watermelons on family plots, and the town's pace is dictated by seasonal tourism and the ferry timetable to Brindisi.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Divjake →Meilleurs mois
May and September offer warm, sunny days (25-30°C) with fewer tourists than July-August, plus lower humidity. June is also good but starts to get crowded.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by Albanian summer holidays and Italian day-trippers arriving on the Brindisi ferry. Hotel prices at the Relax can double from off-season lows, and advance booking is essential. No major festivals, but beach traffic and ferry timetables cause last-minute demand.
La saison des épaules
May, early June and late September are the best budget shoulder months. You'll find discounted rooms (40-50% below peak), mild weather (22-28°C) and uncrowded beaches within the national park.
Météo & Emballage
Summers here are hot and often humid, with a quirk: the coastal breeze can abruptly turn into a strong, dust-laden wind called the 'gjarpri' (snake wind), which kicks up sand and grit. Pack a lightweight windbreaker and a buff or scarf to cover your mouth.
Briefing de la ville — Divjake
- The Brindisi-Durres ferry service resumed full summer schedules in 2025, with direct shuttles from Divjake beach to the ferry terminal now running hourly during July and August.
- A new cycle path connecting Divjake centre to the Karavasta lagoon entrance opened in late 2025, making it easier to reach the park's hides and observation towers without a car.
- 2026 sees the reopening of the renovated beachfront promenade, with new public showers and changing cabins installed ahead of the season.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Relax, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the back of the building, away from the main road. These floors are above street-level noise but still low enough to avoid roof heat in summer.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the ground floor facing the front. The street in Divjake can be quiet but ground-floor rooms pick up passing traffic and footfall. Also skip rooms near the stairwell if the hotel has thin walls – you'll hear guests coming and going.
Best views
The best view is to the rear – fields or village rooftops, depending on orientation. A front-facing room gives you a look at the main road through Divjake, which is nothing special.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-3 are the quietest. The building is small (likely 3 floors with no lift), so upper floors also get less noise from the lobby.
🔊 Noise notes
Main street noise from occasional cars and motorbikes; also early morning sounds from nearby cafés or bakeries. The hotel lacks a lift, so you'll hear internal stairway traffic.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the 3rd floor if you're okay with stairs – it's quietest. Also request a room with a balcony if available; the air is fresher and you can avoid using the AC at night.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
