Looking for a summer escape? From glamorous yacht-filled marinas and sun-soaked Adriatic beaches to rugged mountain peaks and UNESCO-listed landscapes, Montenegro packs an extraordinary amount into one small country. And with new flights departing three days a week with British Airways from London Heathrow and twice a week from Birmingham with Jet 2, it’s never been easier.
Here are three hand-picked holiday packages that showcase the very best of Montenegro this summer.
Luxury Escape: Porto Montenegro
Think superyachts, waterfront dining, and five-star luxury. Porto Montenegro has established itself as one of the Mediterranean’s most sophisticated destinations, blending the natural beauty of the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor with a vibrant marina lifestyle and exceptional hospitality. Once a naval base, it has been transformed into a world-class waterfront community where luxury yachts line the promenade, elegant restaurants and cafés overlook the marina, and high-end boutiques sit alongside stylish residences and luxury hotels. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and crystal-clear waters, Porto Montenegro offers a unique combination of relaxed Adriatic charm and cosmopolitan glamour, making it a magnet for discerning travellers, yacht owners, and investors alike.
Package: British Airways Holidays offers seven nights at the five-star Regent Porto Montenegro in Tivat, including return flights from London Heathrow and checked baggage. Overlooking the glamorous Porto Montenegro marina, the hotel features a luxury spa, indoor and outdoor pools and elegant waterfront dining. Prices start from £1,300pp for departures in August 2026.
Best Value Beach Break: Budva
Montenegro remains one of the Adriatic’s best-value destinations, offering much of the beauty, culture and coastline that draws visitors to neighbouring Croatia, but often at a fraction of the cost. Base yourself in Budva, the country’s most popular seaside resort, where golden beaches, crystal-clear waters and a lively atmosphere create the perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment. Wander through the maze of narrow stone streets in Budva’s beautifully preserved Old Town, a medieval walled settlement filled with historic churches, charming squares, cafés and restaurants. By day, soak up the sun on nearby beaches such as Mogren and Jaz, or explore the dramatic coastline by boat. As evening falls, the town comes alive with waterfront bars, beach clubs and vibrant nightlife that rivals many of the Mediterranean’s more established hotspots.
Package: easyJet Holidays currently offers seven-night packages to Hotel Aleksandar in Budva, including flights, 23kg luggage and transfers, from £536pp. Located just steps from the beach, the hotel features pools, spa facilities and easy access to Budva’s historic centre.
Wild Card: Hiking the Peaks of Montenegro
Swap the beach for one of Europe’s last true wildernesses. While Montenegro is best known for its stunning coastline, its mountainous interior offers some of the most spectacular and unspoilt landscapes on the continent. Home to the UNESCO-listed Durmitor National Park, the dramatic Tara River Canyon — Europe’s deepest gorge — and sections of the renowned Peaks of the Balkans trail, the country has become a favourite among hikers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure away from the crowds. Trails wind through alpine meadows, dense forests, glacial lakes and remote mountain villages, offering breathtaking scenery at every turn. With well-marked routes, diverse terrain and a genuine sense of wilderness, Montenegro is rapidly establishing itself as one of Europe’s most exciting hiking destinations.
Package: Regent Holidays offers tailor-made Montenegro walking holidays featuring Durmitor National Park, the Bay of Kotor and remote mountain villages. Seven-night itineraries typically start from £1,295pp, including accommodation, selected meals and transfers.
There are multiple operators in the UK that offer tailor-made holidays to Montenegro, including Trailfinders, Original Travel, Responsible Travel, Exodus, Hays Travel, Titan Travel, Intrepid and more.
