Montenegro

Nestled between rugged peaks and deep river canyons, the orange-hued rooftops of Montenegro’s old towns and fishing villages contrast vibrantly with the glistening clear waters of the Adriatic. Once a playground for the Hollywood elite, its beguiling coastline embodies an old-world glamour that encases an interior patchwork of spectacular scenery.

Steeped in legend and mystery and previously occupied by Venetians who gave it its name, Montenegro has seen a resurgence in popularity for luxury yacht charters in recent years. Although one of Europe’s smallest countries, it boasts fascinating history, magnificent architecture, and breathtaking natural beauty.

Founded more than 2,500 years ago, Budva has recently been restored to its former glory. Its mediaeval streets brimming with traditional folklore and lively Mediterranean life. Off the coast, the exclusive island of Sveti Stefan offers a luxurious escape in a UNESCO-protected mediaeval village.

Explore the Gothic cathedrals and Byzantine architecture of Kotor, with its spectacular 30 km bay considered one of the Adriatic’s most beautiful. Adventurous travellers can head north to the mountains, home to bears, wolves, and three national parks. With warm, dry Mediterranean summers, Montenegro’s coastlines and inland cities offer the perfect yacht charter escape.
