Resorts of Montenegro on the sea: photo, description

The coastal part of this country is divided into three regions: the Budva and Ulcinj Riviera and the Bay of Kotor. Despite the fact that the coastline of Montenegro does not exceed three hundred kilometers, there are several dozen seaside resorts, each of which has an ancient history, culture and unique character. So, we learn about the features of the towns of each region.

Budva Riviera

For most people who are beginning to be interested in Montenegro, resorts by the sea come down primarily to towns. After all, it is here that a huge number of tourists from the countries of the former USSR come every year. The Budva Riviera includes the following cities: Budva, Becici, Rafailovici, Bar, Petrovac, Sutomore, Sveti Stefan, Milocer and Przhno. The resorts of Montenegro on the sea in this region attract numerous tourists with clean wide pebble beaches with all the necessary infrastructure and hotels for every taste and budget. We offer you to learn more about the main cities of the Budva Riviera.

Budva

Choosing the resorts of Montenegro on the sea for recreation, the vast majority of people stop at Budva. In this regard, the city is rightly called the tourist capital of the country. The popularity of Budva is easy to explain. After all, there are many here, there are also casinos, luxury hotels. In addition, the city boasts a vibrant nightlife and interesting historical sights. Budva is ideal for youth recreation. For families with children, it may seem a little noisy, although everything will depend on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe city where you plan to live.

In addition, Budva boasts several beaches. The most popular of them is Slovenska Plaža, which stretches along almost the entire city coast. It is always crowded, there are plenty of water activities, cafes, bars and restaurants. Those who wish to touch the history and culture can always take a walk through the old town of Budva and visit the famous Citadel, where medieval churches have been preserved.

Becici

Becici is a small resort village located just four kilometers from Budva. From the tourist capital, you can walk here along the picturesque coastal promenade. In Becici there is a beach with a length of about two kilometers, which in 1935 was recognized as the most beautiful beach in Europe. Thus, even in those days, people were fascinated by the magnificent Montenegro. The beachfront hotels in this area are among the most luxurious in the entire country. Here are the luxurious hotel complexes Queen of Montenegro and Splendid. Interestingly, world-famous show business stars like to stay in the latter hotel. So, among the guests of "Splendid" were Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Madonna, musicians from the group "The Rolling Stones" and other celebrities.

Sveti Stefan

Considering the resorts of Montenegro on the sea, willy-nilly you pay attention to Sveti Stefan. Photos of this island-hotel crown most of all tourist brochures about Montenegro. This mini-resort, connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, belongs to private company, and its infrastructure can be used exclusively by guests. Sveti Stefan is one of the most expensive hotels in Montenegro. The island has preserved a lot of old buildings and structures, which were decorated in a modern style inside. On the mainland, there is the city of Sveti Stefan itself, where everyone can find a hotel or apartment according to their budget.

Petrovac

Petrovac is a small resort town located 17 kilometers from Budva. It is famous for its cleanest air, due to the fact that it is surrounded by coniferous trees and olive groves. Here there are two the most beautiful beaches: one is sandy and the other is pebbly. In general, despite the fact that this town has everything you need for life and recreation, as well as a lot of hotels for every taste, Petrovac is one of the quietest towns on the Montenegrin coast.

Bar

This city is one of the largest settlements on the Montenegrin coast of the Adriatic Sea. Here is a major port of international importance, and there is also a parking lot for yachts, accommodating a thousand boats. A passenger ferry departs regularly from Bar to Albania and Italy. In general, this is a very modern city. And life here does not stop even in winter time year (unlike most other coastal settlements). There are also historical sights here: the Old Town with a mass of medieval buildings and structures, as well as the oldest in the world whose age exceeds two thousand years. The beaches in Bar are mostly pebbly. They are characterized by a gentle entry into the water, making it comfortable to relax with small children.

Bay of Kotor

Montenegro's seaside resorts in this region include the following cities: Kotor, Tivat, Herceg Novi, Igalo, Perast and Risan. This part of the country is characterized by picturesque nature and an abundance of historical and cultural monuments. We offer a closer look at the main resorts of this region.

Herceg Novi

This city is the largest settlement in the Bay of Kotor. In addition, it is considered the most suitable both for life and for a beach holiday in this region. So, the beaches here are very clean and well equipped. They are divided into two types: pebble and platforms. In addition, Herceg Novi has a lot of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and hotels for every taste. Also, a large number of historical monuments are concentrated here.

Igalo

The sanatoriums of Montenegro on the sea deserve attention, in particular, the Institute named after Simo Milosevic, located in Igalo. This settlement is located seven kilometers from Herceg Novi. The local medical center specializes in spinal problems and is very popular among Europeans.

Kotor

This city is a real No wonder its ancient part was taken under the protection of UNESCO. Kotor is surrounded by high mountains on one side and the sea on the other. Many architectural monuments are concentrated here, among which one can single out the longest fortress wall in Europe. This city is mainly visited for sightseeing purposes. As for the beaches, there are quite a few of them, and the water is not as clean as in other areas of the coast.

Tivat

This city has the only one on the coast international Airport. Therefore, with a high degree of probability, your plane to Montenegro will land in this city. Tivat is also famous thanks to the huge marina built on its territory a few years ago and the luxurious residential complex Porto Montenegro. The city has a lot of boutiques, shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Beach holidays here are very modest. For these purposes, only a narrow coastal strip with a pebble or concrete coating has been allocated.

Ulcinj

The Ulcinj Riviera is represented by only one city - Ulcinj. This settlement is located in the very south of Montenegro, near the border with Albania. Ulcinj is famous for its ecology, as there is not a single plant or factory within a radius of one hundred kilometers from the city. Near this city is the world-famous sandy Great Beach, the length of which is 13 kilometers.

Resorts of Montenegro on the sea: prices, reviews

As for the cost of living on the coast wonderful country Montenegro, it varies in a very wide range. So, if it is not important for you to live in a hotel on the first line with a magnificent view, then even during the peak season (July-August), you can easily find accommodation at a cost of 15-20 euros per day. The upper price limit is practically unlimited and can reach several thousand euros per night.

As you can see, there are a wide variety of Montenegrin resorts on the sea. Reviews about them are also very contradictory. However, when going on vacation, you should first of all clearly define what you want from the place where you plan to spend a few days of a long-awaited vacation. So, for example, when going to the sea with a small child or an elderly mother and at the same time choosing a hotel in Budva, located in the city center, you should not complain later about the noise from bars and discos. Or planning youth recreation and settling in quiet Perast, you should not complain about the lack of entertainment in Montenegro as a whole.

Although Montenegro is relatively small country, yet there are many different resorts here. Therefore, tourists often wonder in which city it is better to relax in Montenegro.
In this article, we will briefly tell you about the resorts of Montenegro and help you choose the most suitable resort for you. Although the resorts of Montenegro are located close to each other, their character can vary greatly.

Montenegro resorts by the sea

Most tourists come to Montenegro in order to relax on the sea. For this reason, they choose resorts that are located right on the beach. Basically, everything famous resorts in Montenegro, except Zabljak, are located on the seashore. There are, of course, such famous cities as Cetinje and Podgorica, but they are not considered resorts. Below are the main resorts of Montenegro by the sea.

Herceg Novi

This is the northernmost resort in Montenegro, which is located on the shores of the Bay of Kotor. Herceg Novi lies opposite the Lustica peninsula and is quite a beautiful city. It is famous for its Old Town and the Igalo Sanatorium, which uses sand from the nearby beach to treat illnesses. Despite the fact that Herceg Novi is a rather romantic city, it can also be recommended to young people, as there are several good discos here.
There are no good beaches in the city of Herceg Novi itself, but you can visit the amazing nearby beaches that can be reached by boat. These are beaches such as Zanjice, Miriste and Rose. There are many in Herceg Novi beautiful hotels such as Palmon Bay, Perla, Club Rivijera and Institut Igalo, as well as numerous villas and apartments for rent.

Advantages of the Herceg Novi resort:
1. Amazing atmosphere. The city is sure to please fans a relaxing holiday and romantics.
2. Not a boring place. Although the resort towns and villages on the Bay of Kotor are generally boring places, Herceg Novi clearly stands out from all other resorts.
3. The ability to quickly get to, and many other interesting places.

Cons of the Herceg Novi resort:
1. Remote location from important tourist centers and many.
2. No, but you can get to the beaches by boat.

Kotor


Not all the best resorts in Montenegro are suitable for a beach holiday. You have already seen this in the example of the city of Herceg Novi. But the city of Kotor is also not recommended for those tourists who want to spend a lot of time on the beach. You ask, why then go to this resort at all? You will definitely like Kotor if you want to enjoy the atmosphere of a city frozen in time every day. Not everyone goes on vacation just to lie on the beach. Moreover, living in Kotor does not deprive you of this pleasure, because there are good beaches not far from the city. In addition, if you go on vacation to Montenegro on your own, you can spend a few days in Kotor, and spend the rest of the time in some kind of beach resort.
I note that Kotor is a good base for excursions in Boka Kotorska bay, trips to Croatia And Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as for hiking into the mountains.


Advantages of the resort of Kotor:

1. Rich historical heritage.
2. Stunning views of the Bay of Kotor and the mountains.
3. Great base for water trips, walks and bike rides.
4. Interesting Old city with the market.

Cons of the resort of Kotor:
1. Not in the city.
2. Not the best place for young people.
3. There can be a lot of sightseers during the day and in the evening.

Tivat


Unlike neighboring Kotor, Tivat is a more modern city. This is the youngest city on the coast of the Bay of Kotor, which has a luxurious marina and a small natural harbor. Tivat will appeal to those tourists who like to relax in stylish hotels, have lunch and dinner in romantic restaurants, go shopping ... Although Tivat is not the best place for a beach holiday in Montenegro, there are several beautiful beaches in the area of ​​​​this resort. So for a beach holiday, this resort is much better suited than Kotor.
Most popular places in Tivat is a modern Porto Montenegro complex with a 5-star Regent hotel and the island of St. Mark. Near Tivat is probably the best beach of the Bay of Kotor, which is called Plavi Horizonti (Blue Horizons). This is an amazing and very popular beach. But there are several other pretty good beaches in the city area. For accommodation in Tivat, I can recommend hotels such as Hotel Palma, Pine, Galathea and Kamelija.
Tivat is the only coastal city in Montenegro that has an international airport, and most tourists from Russia fly into this airport.

Advantages of Tivat resort:
1. The best place for a beach holiday on the shores of the Bay of Kotor. If you fundamentally want to relax on the shores of this bay, but at the same time it is important for you to have good beaches, then you will not find the best option than Tivat.
2. Modern and very beautiful city. Here you can put on your trendy clothes and stroll along the promenade in the evening or afternoon.
3. Convenient location. From Tivat, you can quickly get to such important resorts as Kotor and Budva.
4. Convenient base for independent trips.
5. The best place to study. I would recommend at least a day and go to this peninsula.


Cons of the Tivat resort:

1. Relatively expensive resort. Do not be surprised by the high prices in restaurants and cafes in Tivat, as this is an elite resort, which is sometimes called the "new Monaco".

Other resorts on the shore of the Bay of Kotor

In fact, on the shores of the Bay of Kotor you will find many more small resorts. I presented only the 3 most popular coastal cities. If you want to relax in more quiet place, then you can pay attention to such resorts in Montenegro as Bijela, Risan, Perast, Orahovac and Dobrota. There are even smaller villages, but they have almost no hotels, although you can find rental housing.

Budva


In most cases, travel agents advise tourists to go on vacation to Budva. In fact, Budva is a universal resort that is suitable for everyone. Unless lovers of a relaxing holiday in a romantic place will not find a suitable environment here during the peak season.
Budva is considered the best beach resort in Montenegro, as the beautiful beaches of Jaz, Mogren and Slavic beach are located in the area of ​​​​this city. In addition, next to Budva is one of the best beaches in Montenegro for families with children: Becici.
If you do not know which resort in Montenegro to choose, then we advise you to pay attention to Budva. You are unlikely to lose if you go on vacation to this place.


Advantages of the Budva resort:

1. The most popular resort in Montenegro. If you want to get the greatest opportunities in everything, then it is better to choose Budva.
2. Several.
3. Excellent base for.
4. Huge selection of entertainment. Budva is the best place for young people in Montenegro.
5. Low prices in restaurants and cafes. At least in Budva it is easy to find an institution with low prices.

Cons of the Budva resort:
1. During peak high season, the resort can be overcrowded.

Becici


Who should choose the Becici resort? Personally, I always recommend this resort for families with children who go to Montenegro for an all-inclusive beach holiday. There are several all-inclusive hotels in this resort area that have their own well-equipped area on the beach. It is also worth noting that Becici is located next to Budva, so you can go for a walk in famous city with a beautiful old quarter.
Becici resort is known for its excellent resort hotels such as Splendid, Iberostar, Mediteran, Sentido Tara and Queen of Montenegro. Beciciah also offers a large selection of villas and apartments for rent.

Advantages of the Becici resort:
1. Excellent, well-equipped beach with gradual entry into the sea.
2. Excellent hotels, including.
3. Close proximity to the most popular resort in Montenegro, Budva.


Cons of the Becici resort:

1. There is only one beach to choose from.
2. Not the best place for non-all inclusive vacationers.

Petrovac


Another great place for a beach holiday in Montenegro is Petrovac. This resort is located almost in the very center of the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, so from here you can go to the beaches both in Ulcinj in the south and in Budva in the north. But Petrovac himself has a very good beaches. The main one is the city beach, which is usually crowded during the peak season. But the neighboring Lucice beach is also often crowded. If you want to relax in a less noisy place, we advise you to take a taxi to Buljarica beach, which is only 2 km from Petrovac.
Petrovac itself is a fairly calm resort in the evening, although during the day it is quite noisy. Since the city is located on the main coastal road, you can get from here to any other resort in Montenegro by bus.

Advantages of the Petrovac resort:
1. Cozy atmosphere and proximity of all objects to each other.
2. Three pretty good and big beaches.
3. Convenient location for trips to other resorts in Montenegro.
4. Calm and relaxed atmosphere. Already after 11 pm the streets become very quiet.

Cons of the resort of Petrovac:
1. One of the most crowded resorts in Montenegro. There are a lot of locals here on weekends.
2. Petrovac may seem like a boring place for active people.

Sutomore


The next city by the sea when moving south along the coastline is Sutomore. It belongs to the municipality of Bar and is known for its excellent main beach, coastal restaurants and cafes. Sato and Hotel Korali are the most famous hotels in Sutomore, but the city also hosts numerous apartments and houses for rent.

Advantages of the resort Sutomore:
1. Long and wide sandy beach.
2. A compact city where everything is within walking distance.
3. The ability to quickly get by bus to both Budva and Ulcinj and Podgorica.

Cons of the Sutomore resort:
1. There are a lot of people on the beach on weekends in summer. It seems that the whole of Podgorica comes to rest in this city by the sea.
2. Small selection of hotels. In fact, apart from Sato and Hotel Korali, there are no normal hotels here.

Bar


Although Bar is considered primarily port city, it is also considered to be a very popular resort. In fact, Bar is the third most popular resort in Montenegro after Budva and Becici. It attracts tourists with cheap accommodation and low prices for food in cafes and restaurants. There are not very many hotels here, but there are a lot of rental housing. Bar has everything for a long vacation in rented accommodation, as the city has several supermarkets and a large farmers' market. Note that not far from the modern city of Bar is the Old Town, which is almost completely destroyed. But still it is worth visiting. One of the most famous sights of this city is the old olive tree, which is over 2000 years old.
Bar is a city and sea ​​port in the southern part of the coast of Montenegro with a rich cultural and architectural heritage. Its population is about 40,000 inhabitants.

Pros of the resort Bar:
1. Several in the city itself and around it.
2. Big city with many interesting places.
3. Large selection of restaurants and cafes with low prices.

Cons of the Bar resort:
1. The bar is still more of a coastal city than a resort, so there is no such relaxed atmosphere here as in Budva or Becici.
2. Vessels often pass near the city, so the water in the sea may not be the cleanest in Montenegro.

Ulcinj


Most Southern City Montenegro differs from other resorts in that the majority of the population here are Muslims. Nevertheless, tourists feel comfortable here.
The population of Ulcinj is about 11,000 inhabitants. This real paradise for tourists who prefer the open sea and long sandy beaches. The main beach in the area of ​​this city has a length of 12 km. Not far from Ulcinj is the island of Ada Bojana, which is located at the point where the Bojana River flows into the sea. This island also has a nice sandy beach that is popular with nudists. This is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds and the modern lifestyle.
In the city of Ulcinj you can find the Old Town and the Small Beach. There are other interesting sights that you can learn about in a separate article.

The best resorts in Montenegro

It is difficult to single out the best resorts in Montenegro for the reason that for different types recreation is better suited to different resorts. Therefore, we decided to highlight the best resorts in Montenegro according to various important criteria.
Best Resort for romantics- Herceg Novi
Best Resort for history buffs- Kotor
Most glamorous resort- Tivat
Best Resort for young people- Budva
Best Resort for family holidays- Becici
Best Resort for an all-inclusive holiday- Becici
Best Resort for water park lovers- Budva
Best beach resort- Petrovac

The most popular resort in Montenegro

Here, of course, the choice is obvious, because in terms of popularity Budva noticeably surpasses almost all other resorts combined. More than half of tourists from Russia choose Budva for their vacation.
The popularity of this resort is due to the fact that there is everything for everyone. For families with children, there are good beaches and a variety of entertainment, for young people there are discos and bars, for gourmets in Budva there are many good restaurants. And, of course, do not forget about the large selection of hotels that can accommodate all this huge crowd of tourists.

The best resort in Montenegro for families with children

I consider Becici to be the best resort in Montenegro for families with children. I have already said above that this resort offers an excellent beach and several good hotels with the all inclusive concept.
The resorts of Budva, Sutomore, Petrovac and Bar are also excellent for families with children. But I would not recommend Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat and Ulcinj for families with children. Of course, in these cities it is not forbidden to relax with kids, but it would just be right to choose a resort more suitable for children.

The best youth resort in Montenegro

There is no doubt that Budva is the best youth resort in Montenegro. In summer, young people cannot be bored here, because local clubs and bars are literally bursting with a huge number of people. In addition to discos, there are many other entertainments for young people in Budva.
If for some reason you do not want to go to Budva, but want to relax in a city where there are good clubs, then we advise you to visit Herceg Novi.
