Mamurras sits in northwestern Albania, just 8 kilometers from the Mediterranean. It’s a small town with a population of 8,282, part of the larger Kurbin municipality since 2015. The coastal proximity means you’re close to beaches, but don’t expect a bustling expat scene—this is a quiet, local-focused area.

Living in Mamurras is affordable, but services are basic. You’ll need to head to nearby cities like Lezhë or Tirana for more extensive shopping or healthcare. The town’s compact size makes it walkable, but public transport options are limited. If you’re looking for a low-cost, slow-paced life near the sea, Mamurras works—just be ready to adapt to a simpler lifestyle.
