Affordable Europe: How to spend your holidays in Montenegro

Yes, now the words “let’s go on holiday to Europe” evoke shocking thoughts about the state of the bank account, but there are still countries that are easy to reach, and on this list, of course, the beautiful and majestic Montenegro is included.

We managed to get there in the summer of 2024 and are ready to share with you the best places that will make your holiday unforgettable.

We need to live on the Mediterranean coast, otherwise we decided that there was no point in starting all this and that is why we chose the Dukley Hotel & Resort, a balance of comfort, beauty and convenience.

Architectural

The villas and residences within the facility seem like a natural extension of the hills and greenery, and this is very nice because on holiday you want to take a break from urbanism and fully integrate with nature, so that this world becomes completely clear. . To ensure a pleasant view, panoramic windows in the villas and residences overlook the Budva Riviera and the Mediterranean Sea. It’s a dream, that’s how it turns out.

Beaches

One? Two? Three! There are so many private beaches at Dukley Hotel & Resort. It turns out that you need at least three swimsuits, almost like Uncle Fyodor’s mother from Prostokvashino bequeathed to you. But let’s get back to the beach – here you can choose what you like: the classic main beach of Dukley, the small pebble beach of Escape or Sumosan. Each of them has its own vibe: mostly family-friendly and fun, Escape romantic and private, Sumosan an expensive beach club. By the way, the latter also has an area for adults only. All that remains is to decide what your mood is today.

For kids

Dukley Hotel & Resort also takes care of its little guests, so you can safely plan a holiday in Montenegro with your child.

First of all, the hotel has its own children’s club with a rich entertainment and educational program. Second, Dukley Academy’s summer camps are open. This is an opportunity to spend your summer holidays with benefit and pleasure. The education, sports and entertainment programs on the Mediterranean coast will not tire you, on the contrary, they will improve you. Parents won’t be tired either, if you know what we mean.

SPA and wellness

The hotel’s spa has become a real oasis of calm where you can breathe and your heart soar. Massages, facial and body treatments, SPA programs, hydrotherapy… Let’s admit it, I wanted it again. Add to scale Group and individual lessons in a modern fitness center where professional instructors teach yoga and meditation classes.

Gastronomy

Who doesn’t love to eat? We are very… That’s why we went to all the restaurants in the hotel and now we will make you want to book a room immediately.
