Big beachfront hotels on the Budva Riviera, new marina villages in the Bay of Kotor, the health resort of Igalo and mountain hotels by the ski slopes of Kolašin.
A resort in Montenegro usually means a large beachfront hotel with pools, restaurants and things for children to do, so you hardly need a car. Most are on the Budva Riviera, from Bečići to Pržno; the quieter option is the marina villages of the Bay of Kotor, and in winter this kind of holiday moves to Kolašin and its ski areas.
Between Bečići, Rafailovići and Pržno there are large hotels right on the beach, with pools, spas and children's entertainment. Bečići beach is sandy, about two kilometres long and shelves gently into the sea, which makes it good for families. Budva and its old town are half an hour's walk along the promenade or a short drive, and in summer this is the busiest stretch of the whole coast.
Luštica Bay in Trašte Bay and Portonovi near Herceg Novi are new marina villages with hotels, apartments and restaurants in one place; in Tivat, Porto Montenegro plays a similar role. The beaches are well kept and the atmosphere is calmer than on the riviera. We cover these places in more detail in our luxury hotels guide.
In Bar the hotels line a long promenade and beaches and are usually cheaper than in Budva. Ulcinj has Velika Plaža, about 13 km of sand with a shallow entry into the sea; along the beach itself there are mostly beach and kite clubs, while the hotels are in town and inland, a short drive away.
In Igalo near Herceg Novi, the Dr Simo Milošević Institute is a health resort and hotel in one, known for its therapeutic sea mud and mineral water – it is a rehabilitation clinic rather than a classic resort, so treatments are arranged in advance. In winter, resort-style stays centre on Kolašin: hotels in town and near the Kolašin 1450 and Kolašin 1600 ski areas, with wellness facilities.
Board varies from hotel to hotel – from bed and breakfast and half board to all-inclusive. Ask whether beach loungers are included, whether the kids' club runs all season and whether the beach in front of the hotel is public or private.
