Montenegro's Adriatic Gems: Budva and Ulcinj

10.04.2024

Situated on the Adriatic coast, Montenegro harbors some of the most picturesque and historically rich destinations in the Mediterranean. Among these, Budva and Ulcinj stand out not only for their stunning landscapes and crystal-clear waters, but also for their deep cultural roots and vibrant atmospheres. This piece will transport you to these fabulous places, exploring their unique charm, ancient history, and the myriad experiences they offer to everyone.

Budva: A Blend of Ancient and Modern

Budva, often referred to as the "Montenegrin Miami," is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic Sea, with a history spanning over 2,500 years. The Old Town, a medieval walled city nestled by the sea, is the heart and soul of Budva. Its narrow, winding streets and ancient stone buildings tell tales of centuries past, housing an array of boutiques, cafes, and galleries that breathe life into its storied walls.

Beyond the Old Town's walls, originally built by the Venetians, Budva transforms into a vibrant modern city known for its lively nightlife, luxurious resorts, and pristine beaches. Jaz Beach, one of the longest and most beautiful beaches in Montenegro, hosts famous music festivals and events, drawing international crowds seeking fun under the sun. Whether it's exploring historical sites, enjoying the local gastronomy, or dancing the night away, Budva offers a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.

Ulcinj: A Historical Melting Pot

Further south lies Ulcinj, one of the most ancient cities on the Adriatic coast, with a history that reflects a mosaic of cultural influences. Ulcinj's Old Town, perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, is a fortress of history, with architecture that speaks of Roman, Venetian, and Ottoman legacies. The city's multicultural past is also echoed in its diverse culinary offerings, from traditional Montenegrin dishes to Albanian, Turkish, and Italian influences.

Ulcinj is also home to the Long Beach (Velika Plaža), an impressive 13-kilometer stretch of sandy beach known for its therapeutic properties and ideal conditions for kite and windsurfing. Nearby, the Ada Bojana Island, formed by a river delta, offers a unique escape with its bohemian vibe, eco-friendly lodges, and one of the most beautiful sunset spots in Montenegro.
A Rich Tapestry of Experiences

Both Budva and Ulcinj offer more than just beautiful beaches and historic sights; they are gateways to experiencing Montenegro's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. Visitors can delve into the local art scene, engage in water sports, or embark on hiking adventures in the surrounding landscapes. The hospitality of the people, combined with the region's natural and architectural beauty, makes every visit a memorable journey.

From Budva's bustling streets and festive beaches to Ulcinj's serene landscapes and historical depth, these places embody the spirit of Montenegro. They invite you to discover their secrets, immerse themselves in their beauty, and create lasting memories in the heart of the Mediterranean.

• In period May-August 2022 we sold our flats in St-Petersburg Russia and  have bought two  ones here in Montenegro, Becici. We decided to move here and make new home and business with my husband. Our agent Milica Zugic  is really became our angel - provider here in Montenegro. She is very reliable, responsible , professional  employee of CMM Budva department. She has developed intuition and found very fast necessary properties which we needed. Also she helped us to speed up the process of registration documents in MUP.( list nepokretnosti, etc). She was our real provider here. Very appreciated her and all staff of Budva department for there assistance. Separately to lawyer Ivan and his legal team. Very recommended choose Milica Zugic as real estate manager when you search for assistant in this complicated and important field as buying property in Montenegro.

• At the beginning of April 2022, our family living in Prague bought a house in Sutomore with the assistance of your company.
  Let me express my gratitude to the management of your company for the service provided, and especially to your employees - Anastasia Zeyak, Alexei Grachev and Elena Bozhovich for their attention, patience and even care for the whole time of buying real estate and the services provided after the purchase.
  I would really like all companies to work with the same quality of service. After coming into contact with this kind of attitude towards the client, all our environment, if necessary, will refer to your company only.
  With gratitude on behalf of our family.

• Based on my experience with CMM in Budva, Montenegro, I can say that they are reliable, fast, and they deliver what they promise. They take really good care of their clients. For instance, I was offered a lift from the airport, and they would take me back and forth from Tivat to Budva and Becici to see various properties. They would answer all of my questions and respond promptly. They have an excellent team: Katarina, Alexander, Natasha, Martin and some other guys whose names I don’t remember. Katarina, my wonderful agent, went to every length to help me find a perfect home. Unfortunately, my situation changed and I had to postpone my relocation to Montenegro.
  I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a property in Montenegro.

• We were introduced to CMM by friends who had already done research on Montenegro and CMM. We purchased our apartment in Dobrota, just outside Kotor, all remotely from South Africa, during the lockdown. Everything was seamless without any problems at all. All the CMM departments work together well from the sales team, head office, legal, interior design and rental department. Every detail was well communicated with an abundance of zoom meetings, videos, emails etc
  We are thrilled with the outcome and enjoyed working with the CMM team. They were incredibly professional.
  After sales service is also excellent as we move into the rental phase of the apartment and over all management of the apartment including maintenance.
  We have been directly and indirectly involved with many houses/apartments all over the world and this was the up there with the best service we have received.
  Thanks to everyone we dealt with at CMM it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you all. We look forward too many happy years working with you on our rental.

• Last year we decided to find a new home close to the sea. It was quite difficult in the beginning to make the right choice. Once we found CMM Company was a great luck! We immediately received detailed consultation on the country and purchase opportunities. Being attracted by Kotor - one of the most amazing parts of the coast, we decided to take a family trip and maybe make our dream of new home come true. As just discoverers of Montenegro, we were accepted like at home which was a one more pleasant surprise. The most important, we received all detailed information about country regions and procedure of buying property during the first few days. And how beautiful the car journeys were! Difficult choice, but when you find the home you want you can't refuse it. CMM did best to help us with this finding! All the purchase procedure passed well with CMM professional work! Now we are happy owners of a wonderful house with a Kotor bay view, being perfectly served by CMM Management company (of course, we've chosen CMM as professional house manager). Hope our friends and relatives would also move to Montenegro with the CMM help soon !!!
