Velipojë (Albanian definite form: Velipoja) is a village and a former municipality in Shkodër County, northwestern Albania.

[3]In recent years, several projects have been instituted with the aim of conserving the environment (including the marine life of the Buna) and encouraging ecological tourism.

The scenery is largely unspoiled, a mixture of seacoast, river estuary, heathland, thick pine woods, farmland, and high mountains.

[citation needed] Historically a poor area, and like the rest of the country subject to much emigration, Velipojë has recently begun to expand as a tourist resort, favoured especially by the inhabitants of Shkodër, the chief city of northern Albania, which lies about 30 km (19 mi) inland.

The construction of the highway that started in 2021, linking Shëngjin with Velipojë, is expected to further develop tourism and the local economy.
