Why These Three Luxury Locations in Montenegro Matter?

Montenegro’s coastline is dotted with luxury developments that rival Mediterranean rivals like the French Riviera or Costa Smeralda. According to market observers, Porto Montenegro, Luštica Bay, and Budva — together with nearby Portonovi — form a trio of premier destinations combining marinas, branded residences, five-star hospitality, retail, and premium living.

Among these, Porto Montenegro and Luštica Bay are expanding rapidly, while Budva boasts an established reputation as the heart of Montenegro’s coastal property market. Let’s explore how they differ.

Porto Montenegro — Prestige, Marina Lifestyle, Global Appeal

Porto Montenegro, located in Tivat within the Bay of Kotor, was one of the first luxury marina-centric developments in Montenegro and remains the most internationally recognised. It blends a superyacht marina with luxury residences, Michelin-level dining, high-end boutiques, and cultural programming.

Highly global and cosmopolitan in character, Porto Montenegro attracts yacht owners, global expats, and lifestyle buyers seeking both convenience and prestige.
