Te Stela Resort Sport Center sits just off the Tirana–Durrës highway on the western edge of the capital, forming the sports heart of the four star Te Stela Resort, which combines hotel, beer garden restaurant, spa, pool bar and children area in one self contained complex. The sport center is built around a cluster of semi Olympic indoor pools, an outdoor summer pool, a large gym and dedicated physiotherapy rooms, and it serves both local families and organized swimming camps that base themselves on site in the resort.
Rooms
The attached Te Stela Resort and Spa offers around one hundred bright rooms looking over the pools or gardens, all with air conditioning, LCD satellite television, private bathroom and free Wi Fi, with several room types including doubles, twins, suites and family options to suit training groups.
Dining
On site guests find the Te Stela Beer Garden restaurant, a main restaurant, pool bar and several cafes, with Albanian and international dishes, outdoor terrace seating and regular live music evenings that give teams a social place to relax after training.
Wellness
The resort spa offers a full thermal and relaxation circuit with sauna, Turkish bath, hydromassage bath, Jacuzzi, Kneipp therapy, emotional showers, Himalayan salt room and a wide menu of massages and beauty treatments, complemented by two additional indoor spa pools and a year round heated pool zone.
For swimmers, the center is organized around an eco indoor half Olympic pool where water treatment uses ecological products instead of chlorine, with variable depth and water temperature kept within standard competition parameters. Two more half Olympic pools, one further indoor training pool and one large outdoor pool, are set with lanes, starting blocks and timing equipment and are used both for daily training and for national meets hosted by the Te Stela Swimming Academy, which has produced many Albanian record holders. The semi Olympic pools operate daily from early morning until late evening, and the summer pool typically opens from mid May until the end of August.
The gym section provides modern cardio and strength equipment, CrossFit style functional training space and group studios, while physiotherapy and hydrotherapy are delivered in partnership with Edenor Physiotherapy, focusing on rehabilitation, mobility and injury prevention for athletes of all ages.
