What Oliver loves...
Spend leisurely mornings relaxing on Villa Bozo’s sun-drenched terrace, where a dip in the swimming pool is made even more refreshing by the views of the sparkling Adriatic Sea.
After a day spent hiking around the beautiful Skadar Lake National Park, unwind in the villa’s private sauna before enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace at sunset.
We highly recommend a visit to charming, cobbled streets of Budva’s old town, where we visited the impressive Citadel before lunch at a traditional restaurant.

The picturesque town of Sveti Stefan is known throughout Montenegro and beyond for its stunning natural beauty and iconic islet, connected to the mainland by a stone isthmus. While the islet itself remains closed to the general public, the charming town of Sveti Stefan on the mainland is the perfect place to make the most of the spectacular beaches of the Budva Riviera and the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.
The beaches of Sveti Stefan are famous for their unique pink sands, made up of fine pebbles that take on a delicate peachy glow under the Montenegrin sunshine. The town’s scenic waterfront walkway offers the ideal setting for a sunset stroll, providing you with the opportunity to admire the dazzling contrast between the turquoise sea and the terracotta roofs of the nearby islet.
Sveti Stefan Beach is open to the public, offering beautiful pebble shores where you can spend sunny afternoons swimming and relaxing. For adventure seekers, there are water sports activities such as jet skiing, sea kayaking, pedal boating and snorkelling on offer along the coastline. The enchanting King’s Beach lies between Sveti Stefan Beach and the private Queen’s Beach. From nearby Budva, visitors can also enjoy a boat trip to the dramatic cliffs of Sveti Nikola. This beautiful, rugged island is affectionately known as ‘Montenegrin Hawaii’ to locals, thanks to its stunning blue waters.
The cobblestone streets of Budva’s charming old town are roughly a twenty-minute drive away from Villa Bozo. Don’t forget to visit the town’s famous Ballerina Statue, made even more memorable by its magical backdrop. Work up an appetite by walking the historic walls or make your way up to the Citadel, where you can enjoy a leisurely lunch with panoramic views. For those who wish to experience Budva's atmospheric nightlife, there are plenty of excellent restaurants and lively bars dotted around the old town.
Should you wish to travel further afield, Montenegro is home to five national parks, each with its own unique charm. Approximately an hour’s drive from Villa Bozo, Skadar Lake National Park is a wondrous natural beauty spot featuring the largest lake in the Balkans. Here, visitors can hike and bike to their hearts’ content, before stopping for a swim in the lake’s rejuvenating waters.
Montenegrin cuisine combines Mediterranean and Balkan flavours, providing visitors with some exquisite delicacies to sample. There is a focus on local, seasonal produce here, with seafood, grilled meat and fresh vegetables making up some of the delicious dishes to be found along the coast. For a traditional Balkan breakfast, try some burek, a tasty, savoury pastry, fresh from a local bakery. Black risotto and Montenegrin buzara are two seafood specialties, while Rakija, a strong fruit brandy, is Montenegro’s national drink.
The Region
About Sveti Stefan & South Coast
The southern coast of Montenegro is largely made up of the Bar and Ulcinj Municipalities. This area is ideal for those who enjoy the lack of crowds and are in pursuit of a serener setting.
Sveti Stefan is probably the most likely image you will find on a Montenegrin postcard and with good reason too! With pink sandy beaches and delightful little shops, you will find yourself in a world of your own. Due to the seasonality of Sveti Stefan, its island gate is open to guests from May.
The South Coast –
Bar’s testing past is chronicled in its partially restored towns, which have seen a Turk invasion during the 19th Century and a severe earthquake in the late 70’s. Bar really is a treasure and efforts have been made to rebuild its old town and surrounding communes, which has given rise to one of our more peculiar, but captivating destinations.
The clearest way to understand the dichotomy of this area’s past is to pay a visit to Stari Bar. Firstly, you will be bewildered by the striking Mount Rumija that frames this beguiling town. A heavy presence of Ottoman architecture can be seen scattered amongst renovated structures, dilapidated buildings and relics. This image alone denotes the staggering degree of one town’s inauspicious history and lends a careful reminder to visitors of an era long-gone. More stately buildings have stood the test of time, so pay a visit to the Church of. St Jovan Vladimir (formerly the Patron Saint & Protector of Bar) and King Nikola’s Palace that now acts as the town’s museum. Perhaps one of the most inspiring feats of this town is Stara Maslina and its olive grove. This olive tree has remained in place for over two millennia and acts as a sign of fortitude for a prised town.
A short trip from Bar will land you on the doorstep of Skadar Lake and its National Park. This reserve encourages its guests to view exceptional indigenous wildlife, enjoy water sports & boat trips and taste the wines of Vinarija Bogojević & Cemovsko Field. A true marvel for those who get a kick from the outdoors!
South of both Bar and Skadar Lake, the town of Ulcinj is found bordering Albania. This is where the best beaches in this region can be found, which include Valdanos Beach and Velika Plaža & Mala Plaža. Here you will finally find some space to breathe! Unlike Budva, Ulcinj hasn’t quite been touched by the hordes of European tourists. The old town of Ulcinj stands proud as the oldest in Montenegro and with this comes a humbler style of life…people come here for good old-fashioned R&R! The town has a remarkable presence of farmer’s markets and street vendors, which tend to operate most days. What better way to start the morning than picking up some fresh & locally grown fruit? You will also be pleased to know that Ulcinj has a reputation for having the best gelato in Montenegro and the Adriatic coast, so don’t feel guilty upon your daily return visits! When the evening falls and you're craving something savoury, stroll along the Bojana River and you will find some of the more renowned restaurants in the area.
