Beaches and Resorts

The primary draw for most visitors is the coastline. The beaches in and around Budva are varied, ranging from stretches of fine sand to pebbled coves tucked away beneath cliffs. The water is consistently clear and inviting, making it ideal for those who enjoy a proper morning swim or just cooling off after a warm afternoon in the sun. Many of the resort areas are designed with the package traveller in mind, meaning sun loungers and parasols are easily available, allowing you to settle in for the day without any fuss.

Getting There and When to Go

Most British travellers arrive via a short transfer from the local airport, making the journey to your hotel feel quick and painless. The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of June or September if you want to enjoy the warm climate without the intense peak-summer heat of July and August. However, even in the height of summer, the sea breeze often provides a welcome respite, making the city comfortable for exploring.

Food and Things to Do

While the beaches are the main event, the town itself is well worth exploring. A simple wander through the narrow, winding streets of the old town area is a must. You will find plenty of small cafes and restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialities. It is the perfect place to sit back with a drink and watch the world go by. For those who prefer a bit of activity, there are opportunities for watersports along the coast, or you can simply take a boat trip to see the dramatic coastline from a different perspective.

Who Should Visit?

Budva is a versatile destination. It suits families who want a stress-free environment with plenty of amenities close to their hotel, as well as couples who appreciate the romantic atmosphere of a historic seaside setting. It is not overly commercialised, yet it has everything a British traveller needs for a comfortable and memorable week away. If you enjoy a mix of relaxation and light exploration, this corner of Montenegro is hard to beat.
