• Azul Beach Resort Montenegro by Karisma: This 4-star beachfront resort in Ulcinj, Montenegro, is situated directly along the Velika Plaza beach, offering guests the perfect base for sun-soaked days and easy access to the water.

Beaches and Resorts

The primary draw of this region is undoubtedly the coastline. You will find vast, expansive beaches here that offer plenty of space for everyone to set up their sun loungers. The shorelines in Ulcinj are known for their soft, fine sand, which is a welcome change from the pebble beaches found in other parts of the Adriatic. It is the perfect place to spend a week simply unwinding, enjoying the gentle sea breeze, and letting the kids play in the shallows.

Getting There and When to Go

Most holidaymakers travelling from the UK will find that reaching this part of Montenegro is straightforward when booking a package deal. Typically, you will fly into a nearby regional airport before enjoying a scenic transfer to the town. The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of late spring or early autumn, when the temperature is warm and inviting but the peak summer crowds have thinned out, leaving you more room to explore at your own pace.

Food and Things to Do

Days in Ulcinj are best spent embracing the slow pace of life. When you are not lounging on the beach, the town itself is perfect for a gentle stroll. You can spend your afternoons wandering through the winding lanes or sitting at a local café to enjoy a coffee. The food culture here is a delightful mix of Mediterranean flavours, with plenty of fresh seafood and locally sourced produce on offer. It is a wonderful destination if you enjoy a mix of light activity and total relaxation, with options for watersports available for those who want a bit more excitement during their stay.

Who it Suits

Ulcinj is a versatile destination that appeals to a wide range of travellers. Families will appreciate the shallow, sandy beaches that are safe for children, while couples will find the quiet, scenic beauty of the coast to be incredibly romantic. It is particularly well-suited to those who have already explored the more traditional European hotspots and are looking for something new, interesting, and refreshingly honest for their annual holiday.
