The same sea. Five different ways to feel at home.

From a quiet waterfront to a lively old town, the places below offer different backdrops for a celebration. Open a guide to learn what to consider for each one.

Perast waterfront, stone façades and bay, MontenegroTHE BAY OF KOTOR

A small town beside the bay

Perast

Perast is a compact waterfront town known for its baroque stone houses and the two small islands just offshore. Couples who want a quieter setting and time together by the water may want to start here. When comparing locations, ask about guest access and what is available for your date.

A walled old town beneath the mountains

Kotor

Kotor’s walled old town is a maze of lanes and small squares, with the steep Lovćen slopes rising behind it. The historic centre and the wider bay offer very different backdrops within a short distance. Couples should check access, steps and guest logistics with each location before choosing.

Old town by the open Adriatic

Budva

Budva pairs a walled old town with a long stretch of Adriatic coast. The town is busier in summer, so think early about the season, guest travel and timing. If you want historic streets and the sea close by, compare specific locations before deciding.

Tivat

Tivat sits on the Bay of Kotor and is known for its waterfront and marina. The town has a more contemporary feel than the old settlements around the bay, while the wider coastline is close at hand. Ask about location capacity, access and transport for your guest list.

Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi rises above the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. Its stairways, fortifications and garden courtyards give the town a distinct hillside character, with sea views appearing between buildings. The slopes and steps can affect guest access, so check routes and transport early.
