What makes Tivat special as a destination?

Tivat has transformed from a sleepy Montenegrin coastal town into a glamorous yacht destination — thanks to Porto Montenegro, a luxurious marina and residential complex that emerged from a former naval base. The marina is one of the most modern in the Mediterranean and attracts superyachts from around the world. Despite the glamour, Tivat has retained its authentic side: The old town with its stone houses, the Palm Beach promenade, and the nearby Flower Island (Ostrvo Cvijeća) offer a relaxed Montenegrin atmosphere. The city park with subtropical vegetation and the nearby beaches of Plavi Horizonti (one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Montenegro) make Tivat the perfect mix of luxury and nature. The Bay of Kotor, one of the most spectacular fjord-like waters in Europe, is right at the doorstep. Kotor, Perast, and the island of Gospa od Škrpjela are easily reachable for day trips. Tivat Airport is directly connected to many European cities and is only 3 km from the center — one of the shortest airport transfers ever.
