Welcome to Budva Holidays

Discover Budva: Montenegro’s Charming Adriatic Gem

Budva is one of Montenegro’s most beloved coastal destinations, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Set along the sparkling Adriatic Sea, this lively resort town features sandy beaches, a beautifully preserved old town, and sweeping mountain views. It is no surprise that Budva is considered the tourism capital of Montenegro and a favourite choice for Mediterranean holidays.

With more than 3,500 years of history, Budva is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. Its old town, Stari Grad, sits on what was once an island and is now a charming peninsula surrounded by 15th-century stone walls. Inside, a maze of narrow streets and shady squares reveals Gothic architecture, centuries-old churches, and small hidden corners full of character. Enjoy a cup of traditional crna kafa, a rich Turkish-style coffee, at one of the local cafés as you soak up the atmosphere.

History enthusiasts will appreciate landmarks such as the Church of Saint John and the Church of the Holy Trinity, both beautifully preserved and offering a glimpse into Montenegro’s spiritual heritage. During the day, Budva is ideal for exploring, while in the evening it transforms into a vibrant place with lively bars, restaurants, and a welcoming summer nightlife scene.

Budva is also home to some of the best beaches in Montenegro. Mogren Beach, just a short walk from the old town, offers clear waters and a lively holiday feel. For those looking for quieter options, smaller coves and peaceful stretches of coastline are close by. Jaz Beach is a must-visit, known for its relaxed atmosphere, scenic surroundings, and opportunities for beachside walks or camping.

A highlight of any visit is the famous Dancing Girl statue on the path to Mogren Beach—an iconic photo spot with beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea and Budva’s old town.

Whether you are looking for relaxation, coastal adventure, or a gateway into Montenegro’s rich history, Budva offers an unforgettable holiday experience for every traveller.

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended.
