Why Go?

Beautiful places often get slugged with the tedious tagline, ‘The pearl of…’, and the southern coastline of Montenegro is no exception: in this case, it’s ‘…the Adriatic’. But this 80km stretch is less milky dewdrop than eye-popping opal; the malachite greens of the looming mountains and the intense blues of the reflecting waters are dazzling enough to cause hallucinations.

Budva – the so-called ‘Montenegrin Miami’ – is the country’s most visited destination, thanks to its alluring Old Town, buzzy bars and a bevy of Blue Flag beaches. Nearby, elegant Sveti Stefan offers million-dollar ogling, while Bečići, Pržno and Petrovac burst at the seams with sun-seeking families come summertime. Further south, the evocative cliffside ruins of Stari Bar provide a peep into the past, while eastern-flavoured Ulcinj is the gateway to a 12km succession of sandy beaches running to the Albanian border; perhaps surprisingly, you’ll find Montenegro’s best nudist beach here.

When to Go

AEnjoy the beaches and balmy weather in May and June before the crowds descend.

AJuly and August see soaring temperatures, crowded beaches, peak prices – but this is the best time to party.

AIn September and October you may get some rain, but the air and water temperatures are still warm.
