<1hr to Airport
Nestled in a quiet inlet called Reževići, surrounded by untouched nature and just a few metres from a wonderful private beach, the location of this villa is a real winner. The villa lies in the area known as the Budva Riviera, tucked away and peaceful but just a short drive to Montenegro's holiday hotspot.
Budva is the most popular town for visitors to Montenegro. With its imposing stone Venetian walls that once guarded the city from intruders and its cosmopolitan cafes and nightlife, Budva is an atmospheric and lively place to spend your time. The Old Town - also known as the Stari Grad - is charming and compact, easily walkable and full of cute cafes and lovely restaurants. Sample some Montenegrin classics such as punjene paprike - stuffed peppers, or gulaš - a hearty stew served with mashed potato.
Along the stunning Budva Riviera, there are 17 named beaches that hug the coastline from Jaz to Buljarica. Some great choices for a beach day include Pržno, which has sandy and rocky stretches along the same beach. Just in front of the town of the same name, the area is famous for a fragrant olive grove and for its epic sunsets. Kamenovo beach has crystalline turquoise waters and powdery sand. Mogren beach is the closest to the Old Town. Stop at a seaside cafe for some fresh seafood and a glass of local wine.
Delicately cradled on a peninsula, theres an ancient seaside citadel in a prominent part of the medieval Old Town. Here, you'll find historic churches such as St. John the Baptist, which has parts dating back to the 9th century and Holy Trinity, comprised of beautiful pink and honey coloured stone. There are also four monasteries called Stanjevići, Podmaine, Reževići and Gradiste.
There are a myriad of scenic hiking trails around the local area, including the Seven Bay Trail, with dramatic sweeping landscapes from Buvan to Sveti Stefan, a luxury resort. Take in several of the region's most beautiful beaches along the way. Another impressive and challenging hike is the Buvan to Majstori trail, which climbs over 3000m in elevation over the sea and its coastline, dotted with tiny local villages.
In summer, the town has a festival, with open air theatre and plenty of opportunities to see local dancing displays and folk music. International DJs play at beach parties - particularly Jaz beach - while revellers sip cocktails and dance the night away. There's an infectious festival atmosphere around the whole town.
At the villa, there are a multitude of amenities including a Beach Club, where guests can try stand up paddleboarding, swimming and snorkelling on the private beach. There's a fantastic Mediterranean grill restaurant on site - or simply enjoy a glass of wine on the atmospheric pier.
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.
