Sea Glamping

Two national parks are nearby if you’d like to explore the Kotor region in more depth. Lake Skadar (an hour’s drive) is known through Montenegro for its diversity of flora and fauna, with 270 different birds and around 50 fish species regularly sighted there, including herons, eagles and giant carp; you can explore the lake on colourful wooden craft. Just north of the site is Mount Lovćen National Park (20 minutes), popular for hiking and climbing among the breathtaking scenery of the Dinara Alps. For heritage sightseers, the religious treasures of Cetinje Monastery (45 minutes) are available for viewing by guided tour, while the pretty old town of Sveti Stefan (25 minutes) sits on a tiny Adriatic island anchored by causeway to the mainland. Kotor’s ancient centre (also 25 minutes) beckons with its historic churches, medieval palaces and winding cobbled streets lined with cafés, but if it’s late-night action you’re after, Budva (15 minutes) is a hub for clubbing where you can bar hop until dawn. Chances are that you may just want to flop on the beach. In addition to lively Trsteno (five minutes by e-bike), you can try the smart lido at Ploce (five minutes) for its watersides and bar, or sandy Jaz (10 minutes) for swimming off the wide sweep of soft sand.
