Five-star hotels sit at a few addresses on the coast: Sveti Stefan and Miločer, Porto Montenegro in Tivat, Portonovi and Luštica Bay.
Luxury accommodation in Montenegro is concentrated on the coast, in a few places: Sveti Stefan and Miločer on the Budva Riviera, and the marinas of the Bay of Kotor – Porto Montenegro in Tivat, Portonovi near Herceg Novi and Luštica Bay. The season runs from May to October, and the most sought-after dates in July and August sell out early.
Aman Sveti Stefan occupies the island village of Sveti Stefan and the nearby Villa Miločer in the park of the same name. After a five-year closure, Villa Miločer, the spa and the beaches reopened on 22 May 2026, and the island on 1 July 2026. Queen's Beach stays reserved for hotel guests, while King's Beach and Sveti Stefan Beach are open to other visitors too. On the same stretch of the riviera, in Pržno and Bečići, there are more upscale beachfront hotels.
Regent Porto Montenegro opened in 2014 in the superyacht marina of Tivat, a few minutes from the airport; its pool looks out over the bay, with the marina's restaurants and promenade around it. One&Only Portonovi, opened in 2021 as the brand's first resort in Europe, is in the Portonovi marina near Herceg Novi, at the entrance to the bay. The Chedi Luštica Bay is a five-star hotel with 111 rooms in a new marina village in Trašte Bay on the Luštica peninsula – quieter and away from the crowds, but with no old town nearby.
In Kotor, Dobrota and Perast luxury comes on a smaller scale: restored palaces and waterfront hotels with few rooms, for those who value architecture over a pool and beach. In the north, Kolašin has mountain hotels with wellness facilities close to the Kolašin 1450 and 1600 ski areas – for winter or a green summer.
For the beach and calm, pick Sveti Stefan and Miločer; for yachts, restaurants and a short hop from the airport, Tivat; for the entrance to the bay and days on the water, Portonovi; for quiet and the open sea, Luštica. Before booking, check whether the beach is private or public, what the price includes (loungers, transfer, spa) and whether the hotel is open all year.
