About Us
A Platform For Well-Being
Three hours south of Tirana, through the elevated winding roads of the Ceraunian Mountains, Moyo awaits on the ivory stone shores of Dhërmi. As vitalizing, foamy waves crash and lap at your feet, your eyes gaze down the coastline of the Albanian Riviera and meet Corfu. Across the Ionian horizon, Italy beckons. And as your imagination begins to revel in their proximity, you’re reminded how jetsetters and holidaymakers the world over flock to the primacy of Greece’s archipelago and Italy’s cultural allures.
But suddenly the gentle arms of Moyo wrap themselves around you, inviting you back to the present moment. And as you do, you come to your senses and indulge in the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and sensations of our Albanian paradise. Were you to fully accept this invitation during your time with us, you’d find a deep nourishment on offer, inflating you with a profound beauty and wholeness. Notions of Greece and Italy fade away and at once you become one with Moyo’s message: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, where land meets sea, where spirit meets bliss.
Flowing Through Moyo
Moyo’s constellation of magical spaces are perched on a lush hillside and flow down into the gentle turquoise embrace of the Ionian Sea. Staff and guests alike are a community of soul seekers who emanate and seek a holistic approach to wellness. Like this, Moyo’s spaces, integrated organically into a wild landscape, are designed around experiences to harmonize mind, body, and spirit.
Come and flow through nature, gastronomy, music, yoga, sustainable fashion, and more.
Come and flow through Moyo, our platform for well-being.
Yoga Shala
Relaxation and presence are the pillars of this class. A time to reconnect with your breath, allow your mind to slow down, and your heart to open. You will be guided on a tender journey of self-exploration, using restorative breathing, soft stretching and a deep practice of meditation.
Cuisine
MOYO is our flagship, open-concept restaurant and event space — a blend of upscale culinary, mixology, and musical experiences directed by renowned Albanian chef, Juli Zguro. The sun’s arc traces the Albanian coastline from sunrise to moonrise, splashing light and shadow in kaleidoscopic patterns on the natural materials and elemental designs of our decor. Guests can relax peacefully sun- and wind-kissed over a glass of wine from our local and international labels or a creative dish from our unique Mediterranean and Japanese fusion menu, such as kobe steak and other dry-aged meats, king crab and other locally-fished Ionian seafood, as well as vegan options, all bursting with flavor from and spiritually grounded by locally-sourced, organic ingredients.
Taverna carries the same culinary and hospitality commitment to wholeness, but offers a more simple, homely space that overlooks all of Moyo, Pepperon Beach and the furthest reaches of the Ionian horizon line. Our menu – with the addition of fresh seafood, pasta, risotto, and meatbased dishes – is focused around our many homemade wood fire pizzas, including all the mouthwatering options you’d expect, with a few infused with the spirit of our Albanian palate. Retreat to the shade and airflow as it dances around the naturally-sourced interiority of Taverna, or sit outside at one of our many wooden tables for an afternoon, tucked privately among the olive tree groves and stone pathways that lead back down to the sea.
Pepperon Beach Club
When it’s time for sea, sun, and sounds, head down to experience the heartbeat of Pepperon Beach Club, our open concept, tented space built atop the ivory stones that make up our beloved beach here on the Albanian Riviera. You’ll find our hospitable staff preparing fresh coffee, signature cocktails, and other natural refreshments in our 360° bar to rhythms with deep, soulful bass lines that stir you in euphoria.
Have a seat or relax in our lounge space at an intimate bar top table or one of our many handpicked cozy seating arrangements with artisanal, bohemian textiles that feel both luxurious and a part of the natural surroundings. In the backdrop, you’ll find our many inviting beach beds devoted to your connection with sand, sea, sun, and self, organized in an assemblage of perfect patterns along the shore like sacred geometry. At Pepperon, flow easily between the beach, the bar, and the bliss of a dip in the Ionian.
Moyo's Garden and STORE
Moyo’s Garden is a bouquet of retail boutiques that celebrate diversity, tradition, wellness, and life by the sea.
They offer a new way of engaging with lifestyle design and self-care through garments, jewelry, holistic products, home decor, and other accessories made with presence and intention by local artisans and international creators alike
Music
We at Moyo breathe our love and energy into musical experiences by hosting celebrated and up-and-coming DJs alike in both our beach clubs, Pepperon and Moyo Drymades. As Dhërmi has emerged as a leading international hotspot for beachfront nightlife and music festivals like Ion, Kala, Ajunadeep, and Turtle Fest, Moyo and our beach clubs have become central to the magic of these experiences. As the sun fades and the weekend burns, the music transforms our moon- and candlelit spaces so guests can surrender to sound and connection, finding transcendence through movement.

Our Philosophy
Integrating Holistic Well-Being
At Moyo, we honor the core tenets of well-being across ancient and contemporary wisdom traditions and express them through each of our unique spaces and experiences, shepherding our guests on a journey through purification and delight of mind, body, and spirit. Spend only a little time flowing through Moyo to see how these concepts are in conversation with each other, in conversation with you.
Our guests arrive at Moyo – where enveloping clouds descend from the heavens down the Ceraunians like watchful protectors – ready to disconnect from the routine and stress of everyday life. What they find while they’re here is a healthier, more connected, and fully aligned approach to it when they leave.
This is our divine mission after all — the loving commitment to your nourishment and tranquility, to your holistic well-being.
And so, join us at Moyo. We look forward to welcoming you in the paradise of the Albanian Riviera!
