The Balkans beckon Russian tourists with their close culture, warm sea and gentle sun. But in order to get favorable impressions, you need to accurately understand the nuances of the upcoming leisure. And for starters - choose the most optimal resorts.
Where is the best place to relax in Montenegro?
Bar
Going to the city of Bar, you can enjoy the clear sky, under which clean air flows and the measured life of Montenegrins flows.
The road does not take long, and the market is replete with the freshest seafood. The fees are relatively small. But the rest is overshadowed by not entirely clean beaches, pollution of the sea and the influx of other travelers. Club entertainment is frankly lacking.
Budva
Those who are looking for a better place to relax in Montenegro, not only during the day but also at night, often go to Budva (good housing options in the city from the owners).
Young people will be delighted with the club sphere and soft beaches. The city reliably existed 2500 years ago, which makes it highly recommended for quiet family visits. A lot of excursions are organized from here. But the problem is that Budva attracts scammers like a magnet. Tourists are constantly required to be careful.

Igalo
Igalo resort (apartments in the resort) is suitable for those who are going to visit a foreign sanatorium.
Guests are welcome here from May to September inclusive. Along with the treatment, the administration took care of horse riding, scuba diving, cycling and tennis. The bottom is almost flat, but the nightlife is extremely scarce. Ighalo is not very suitable for children either, there is nothing interesting for them to find.
Rafilovici and Becici
- Just wanting to relax, we advise you to go to Rafailovici (rental housing).
- But for those who decided to combine a beach vacation in Montenegro with active leisure on the water, Becici (apartments in Becici) will be preferable.
However, these two resorts are adjacent, so you can vary the program, if there are no specific wishes. Among the resorts of Montenegro with sandy beaches can be called the same Budva. However, in this case, you will have to use a rented car to get to the sand. The territory is equipped, full of restaurants, beach equipment is issued. Almost everywhere, if not sand, then fine pebbles.

St. Stephen's Island
If you have serious funds, you can visit the island of St. Stephen (holiday hotels).
There are high prices, and if there is a desire to save money, it would be more correct to visit the village of the same name. By the way, it is not overloaded with tourists even in the peak part of the season. The problem may be that the coast is steep and you will have to go down to the sea using steps dug in the ground.
Tours to Sveti Stefan
Herceg Novi
Herceg Novi (apartments in the city) also allows you to relax on the beach, but the coastal strips are not as high-quality as in Budva.
Within the city, they are small and completely filled with concrete, so you have to travel outside the village. We recommend visiting the Zanitsa beach, characterized by clear sea water and a fine pebble layer. The space is equipped with changing cabins, showers, umbrellas and sun loungers. There are a number of cafes. The cost of food is noticeably less than in Budva.

Tivat
Tivat (accommodation options in the city) attracts connoisseurs of graceful natural landscapes, peace and tranquility.
Another plus of visiting this resort is its availability. But there are very few beach areas, each covered with a layer of concrete. To solve this problem, it is enough to move to the surrounding territories. There are a lot of attractive sites in the immediate vicinity of Tivat.

Ulcinj
Ulcinj resort is located in the extreme south of Montenegro.
In the midst of summer holidays, the heat always reigns here, but the views of the surrounding area and the benevolence of people leave a positive impression. The beaches are lavishly covered with sand, and the cost of leisure activities is quite sparing, even for travelers on a budget.

Where to go to Montenegro with children?
Of the variety of tourist resorts where it is better to relax in Montenegro with a child, there are several ideal places to look at first. In principle, Montenegrins treat all small visitors to their country positively. However, the conditions for accommodation are not the same everywhere. The popular Budva is optimized for the leisure of young people and the vigorous part of adults. Rumbling speakers and sparkling discotheque color music in the evenings and at night can excite kids. Yes, even for most adolescents, such a shake-up of the nervous system will not do any good.
There is another problem in Herceg Novi: despite the enchanting atmosphere of medieval buildings, the rapid flows of visitors make it necessary to constantly monitor the children. But in Kotor, with its national park, there are all the necessary conditions for a family visit. However, for a beach holiday in Montenegro, this is not an option. It is difficult to enter the water, the banks are dotted with rocks and steep cliffs.
But still, which resorts to choose for a holiday by the sea nearby? And - what cheap resorts in Montenegro for families with children can you recommend? First of all, it is worth mentioning, however, about a place that is not at all cheap - St. Stephen's Island... In the past, there was a fortress, but after the disappearance of the need for it, the island eventually transformed into a respectable leisure center. The resort has deservedly received the international sign "Golden Apple", which goes only to the best tourist destinations in the world.
In addition to selective amenities, the advantage of visiting this island will be the provision of escort services, provided baby food and special beds. If families with older schoolchildren go on a journey, they can do various types of diving and go out on yachts and boats to the open sea. The beach strip itself is formed by a combination of sand and pebbles. The waves, transparent as glass, are pouring out onto the gently sloping shore. The air is pristine.
A small town is located less than 20 kilometers from Budva Petrovac... It is surrounded by groves of olive trees and coniferous southern European forests. Even at the top of the tourist season, it is calm and cozy here. As for the beach strip, it occupies the shores of a shallow (in size) bay and is divided into 2 segments.
We recommend walking for 5 minutes, reaching Lucice, where the sandy strip is wide, and green plants, even on the hottest day, improve the microclimate. It should be noted right away that it is pointless to count on attractions and play areas. However, in the summer months, the serenity is pretty diluted by the mass of themed festivals. Their organizers try to please tourists of all ages.
Alternatively, you can consider a seaside town Chan... The sea is shallow here, the depth almost does not grow as it enters the water. Therefore, the risk is minimized. But nevertheless, it is worthwhile in advance, even before leaving the airport, to familiarize yourself with the real signs of drowning (and it does not happen at all the way most people imagine). Chan is also famous for the international children's complex "Pearl Coast": every summer from 500 to 900 children visit the complex.
You can go to the village Good Water... There, a standard set of conditions has been created since the 1950s. Olives grow around, and this area is officially recognized as the cleanest region of Montenegro.

Extreme enthusiasts will be delighted to have the chance to ride the cable car, which runs 150 meters above the bottom of the gorge.

The visit takes place in the old capital of the country. The excursion offer implies not only acquaintance with the monuments of the Christian cult, but also with a number of traditional products.

Inexpensive resorts of Montenegro for holidays by the sea
Visit to Budva (with the choice of the Villa Radmila hotel) will cost at least 50,000 rubles. This fee will allow you to live 600 meters from the pebble beach and enjoy an air-conditioned space. For the same amount you can stay at the Ivanovic Hotel in Becici... Rest in Petrovac - but there are already places dismantled quickly.

When is the best time to relax, what time of year and where?
Ski resorts are open from November to early May. Kolashin has slopes less than 1000 m, and Zabljak - almost 1.5 km.
May-September is suitable for swimming, but we must remember that only seasoned people will be able to plunge into the sea before the beginning of June without consequences. IN Ulcinj you have to go from spring to autumn, while navigation is open - they often go in for sailing there.
