Budva Holidays

Welcome to Budva  

Discover Budva: Montenegro’s Charming Adriatic Gem

Budva, Montenegro's tourism capital, is a stunning coastal town that seamlessly blends history, culture, and natural beauty. Nestled on the Adriatic Sea, this picturesque resort offers pristine sandy beaches, a historic old town, and breathtaking mountain vistas, making it a must-visit destination.

With a history spanning over 3,500 years, Budva is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. The enchanting old town, Stari Grad, sits on a peninsula that was once an island. Surrounded by 15th-century ramparts, its maze of narrow streets and shady squares invite you to explore Gothic-style architecture, ancient churches, and charming monuments. Don’t miss sipping on crna kafa —a rich, Turkish-style black coffee—at one of the cozy cafes.

For history buffs, landmarks like the Church of Saint John and the Church of the Holy Trinity, inspired by the renowned Ostrog Monastery, are must-see sites. By day, Budva is perfect for sightseeing, while by night, the resort transforms into a vibrant hub of nightlife, particularly during the lively summer months.

Budva’s beaches are among the finest in Montenegro. The main beach, Mogren, is conveniently located near Stari Grad and offers a lively atmosphere, while quieter coves and smaller beaches await just a short distance away. Be sure to visit Jaz Beach, a tranquil spot surrounded by lush Mediterranean greenery, ideal for relaxation or camping adventures.

Don’t miss the iconic 'Dancing Girl' statue on the path to Mogren Beach, a perfect photo opportunity with stunning views of the old town and sparkling Adriatic waters.

Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a glimpse into Montenegro’s rich past, Budva delivers an unforgettable holiday experience.

The staff there are some of the best we have come across, and the breakfasts were great. We are looking ahead to 2023 and were wondering if you could arrange a quote for a similar trip."  Sue and Mike Fedeczko - 28 September 2022
