Top-Rated Hotels for Your Stay

Montenegro boasts an impressive array of accommodation, ranging from family-oriented beachfront resorts to sophisticated luxury boutique hotels. For those dreaming of a refined, historic experience, the 5-star Heritage Grand Perast is housed in a former palace within the scenic town of Perast. If you prefer to be right in the heart of the action, the 5-star Iberostar Waves Slavija offers a modern stay in the coastal town of Budva, while the 4-star Riva Hotel by Aycon provides another well-placed option in the same area. Those looking for contemporary comforts will find the 4-star Hotel Millennium by Aycon in Budva to be a great choice within easy reach of the Adriatic coastline. For a true beach holiday experience, the 4-star Azul Beach Resort Montenegro by Karisma is located directly on the sprawling Velika Plaza beach in Ulcinj. Finally, guests seeking a coastal sanctuary can look to the 4-star Radisson Resort Ruza Vjetrova, situated right on the Adriatic Sea in the town of Bar.

Beaches and Coastal Resorts

The coastline is the main draw for many travellers, and Montenegro delivers in style. You will find everything from hidden coves to long, golden stretches of sand. Towns like Budva are perfect if you enjoy a mix of traditional old-town atmosphere and modern seaside amenities. For those who prefer a more relaxed environment, the beaches in and around Ulcinj and Bar offer a more laid-back vibe where the pace of life slows down significantly. Tivat also serves as a stylish gateway to the coast, providing a contemporary base for your holiday.

Getting There and When to Go

Montenegro is well-catered for with convenient flight connections from UK airports such as Manchester and Liverpool, making your journey comfortable and direct. The season typically runs from late spring through to early autumn. The summer months offer glorious sunshine that is ideal for swimming and watersports, while visiting in May, June, or September often provides a more tranquil experience with slightly milder temperatures, perfect for strolls around historic town centres.

Food and Things to Do

While the beaches are the primary attraction, the country offers plenty of variety. Seafood is a staple of the local diet, featuring fresh catches from the Adriatic served in waterside restaurants. Beyond the dining, travellers can spend their days exploring the narrow, winding streets of coastal towns like Perast, or heading out onto the water for boating and swimming. Whether you are looking to pack your days with activity or simply lounge under the sun, the balance of nature and culture is consistently high.

Who It Suits

Montenegro is an ideal destination for those who have already seen the popular resorts in Spain or Greece and are looking for something different. It is particularly well-suited to couples looking for a romantic setting and families who want a mix of high-quality hotels and beautiful outdoor spaces. With a range of 4 and 5-star options available, it is an accessible destination that feels both exotic and easy to navigate.
