A 2 km sandy beach between Budva and Rafailovići
Bečići is a hotel resort and beach located just 2 km south of Budva, on the Budva Riviera. The sandy shoreline, stretching approximately 2,000 metres, is characterised by fine sand, calm waters without strong waves, and crystal-clear water — making it ideal for families with children. The beach is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, water sports equipment, tennis and volleyball courts, and a mini golf course. A beautiful seaside promenade directly connects Bečići with Budva, so visitors can easily combine a day at the beach with a tour of the old town.

Highlights
The beach, approximately 2,000 metres long, stretches between Budva and Rafailovići and is considered one of the most beautiful and largest sandy beaches on the southern Adriatic. Fine sand, calm waters without strong waves, and an authentic shallow area make it particularly suitable for children. On the beach, visitors can rent water sports equipment, enjoy designated zones with sun loungers and umbrellas, use showers, and find children's playgrounds. In the immediate vicinity are some of the most luxurious hotels on the Montenegrin coast.
A beautiful coastal promenade directly connects Bečići with the centre of Budva over approximately 2 km. The route is flat, shaded, and ideal for a morning or evening stroll with views of the Adriatic Sea. The walk from Bečići to the Old Town of Budva takes 20–30 minutes, giving visitors staying in Bečići easy access to all the riviera's amenities without needing a car. Along the promenade there are restaurants, cafés, and benches with sea views.
Bečići has developed into one of the largest hotel resorts on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, with a range of properties including five-star hotels, conference facilities, and wellness centres. Hotels such as the Splendid Conference & SPA Resort and Hotel Queen of Montenegro offer guests direct beach access. The tourist complex features tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts, mini golf, and a rich entertainment offering — making Bečići a complete holiday destination beyond the beach.
A small Serbian Orthodox church is located right next to the beach in Bečići. The original 14th-century church was dedicated to Saint Thomas, while the current building was erected in 1910 and dedicated to Saint Stefan Štiljanović, whose relics are kept inside. Local worshippers and tourists visit it especially on 17 and 19 October, when Stefan's Day and Thomas Day are commemorated. The church offers an interesting contrast to the tourist atmosphere of the beach and is a testament to the coastal history of the area.
