Budva

Budva is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic, and its walled old town still stands on a small peninsula above the sea. Around it, the Budva Riviera stretches for more than twenty kilometres of beaches, coves and promenades. In summer it is the liveliest place in Montenegro; out of season it becomes a comfortable small city with everything at hand.

Why Budva

Budva has the deepest rental market on the coast. Visitors from across Europe, the region and further afield fill its apartments from late spring to early autumn, and the town's restaurants, marina and nightlife keep them coming back. For investors, that means occupancy, liquidity and a wide choice of properties at every budget.

New developments have raised the standard considerably in recent years, with hotel-serviced residences, sea-view apartments and villas in the hills above the bay. Resale demand is strong, which makes Budva one of the easiest places in Montenegro to enter and to exit.

The season

The season runs from May to October, peaking in July and August. Spring and autumn are increasingly popular for longer stays, and the town remains open and active through the winter.

Where to buy

• Old town and the seafront for prestige: limited apartments with views of the walls and the sea.
• Bečići and Rafailovići for beach life: a long sandy bay with hotels and modern residences.
• Dukley and Zavala for exclusivity: gated residences, a marina and private beaches.
• Lazi, Podkošljun and the hills for value and views: new apartments and villas above the town.

Living here

Budva offers big-city convenience on a small scale: supermarkets, international restaurants, gyms, clinics, schools and a busy marina. Tivat airport is about twenty minutes away and Podgorica just over an hour. The beaches of Mogren, Jaz and Slovenska plaža are within minutes.

Our view

Budva is the place for buyers who want income and flexibility. The difference between a good and an average investment here lies in the details: the view, the building, the management and above all the paperwork. We filter the market, verify every permit and title, and only show you what we would buy ourselves.
