For those looking to trade the familiar Mediterranean crowds for something a little different, Ulcinj in Montenegro is rapidly becoming a firm favourite for British holidaymakers. It is the perfect choice for families and couples who want a mix of laid-back seaside relaxation and the promise of a warm, sun-drenched climate.

Package holidays to this corner of the Adriatic offer a refreshing alternative to the busier resorts of Western Europe. With a focus on long, sandy stretches and a slower pace of life, it is the ideal spot for travellers flying out from Manchester or Liverpool who want to balance relaxation with a touch of exploration.

Where to Stay in Ulcinj

Finding the right base is essential for a stress-free holiday. In the town of Ulcinj, you will find options that cater to those who want convenience, comfort, and direct access to the water. We recommend the following:

• Azul Beach Resort Montenegro by Karisma: This 4-star beachfront resort is located in the town of Ulcinj, Montenegro, and sits directly along the expansive Velika Plaza beach.

Beaches and Resorts

The main draw of a holiday in Ulcinj is undoubtedly its coastline. Unlike some of the shingle bays found elsewhere in Europe, this region is home to some truly impressive sandy expanses. The standout feature is Velika Plaza, a lengthy stretch of beach that offers plenty of room to find your own slice of paradise. It is particularly popular with families who appreciate the soft sand and the shallow, welcoming waters. Whether you are looking to spend your days reading under an umbrella or building sandcastles, the seaside vibe here is exceptionally relaxed.

Getting There and When to Go

Getting to Ulcinj from the UK is straightforward, with many package holiday providers offering convenient routes from major northern airports. The summer season, running from late May through to September, is when the region is at its most vibrant. If you prefer to avoid the height of the summer heat, June and September offer pleasantly warm temperatures that are ideal for wandering the town centre or enjoying local watersports without the midday intensity of the July sun.

Food and Things to Do

A holiday in Ulcinj is all about embracing the local pace. Mornings are best spent enjoying a coffee by the water, while afternoons are typically reserved for the beach. For those who enjoy a bit of history, the old town area provides a wonderful backdrop for an evening stroll. The architecture is steeped in character, offering narrow, winding streets that are perfect for those who enjoy exploring on foot. When it comes to dining, expect fresh, locally sourced ingredients with a Mediterranean flair. The cuisine is honest, hearty, and usually accompanied by excellent regional hospitality.

Who Is This Destination For?

Ulcinj appeals to travellers who value authenticity. It is well-suited to families who need the convenience of a larger beachfront resort with facilities for children, but it is equally popular with couples looking for a romantic escape that feels a little 'off the beaten track.' If you are tired of the same old resorts and want a holiday that combines sun, sand, and a genuine cultural experience, this part of Montenegro is well worth your consideration.
