About the Resort
A residence-style family beach resort on the Budva Riviera
Dukley Hotel & Resort is a residence-style family beach resort on the Budva Riviera — modern stone-and-glass buildings cascading to a sunset-facing private beach on the Zavala Peninsula, between the beaches of Budva and Becici. Around sixty-five rooms sit alongside one- to three-bedroom residences and penthouses, most with full kitchens, the largest fitting around eight, making it genuine family and group space. Three private beaches, an infinity pool, a spa, four restaurants and a complimentary boat across to Budva Old Town round out an estate served by buggies. The setting is the heart of the Budva Riviera: the Zavala Peninsula juts between two of the coast's best-known beaches, the Venetian-walled Old Town of Budva is a short boat ride or two-and-a-half-kilometre drive away, and Sveti Stefan, the bay of Kotor and Lake Skadar all lie within easy reach. It is the apartment-style, family pick of the Budva Riviera — distinct from the island legend of Aman and the big family-and-spa Splendid. A long season, by Budva.
Accommodation
Rooms & residences
Around sixty-five rooms sit alongside one-, two- and three-bedroom residences and penthouses, most with full kitchens and the largest fitting around eight, in modern stone-and-glass buildings cascading to the sea. The residences make it genuine family and group space, a base where a multi-generational party can spread out yet share the beaches and the pool. Stone, glass and timber keep it contemporary, the buildings stepping down the peninsula toward the sunset-facing sand.

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Dukley Hotel & Resort, Budva. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Montenegro
Aman Sveti Stefan
Aman Sveti Stefan is Montenegro's most iconic address — a restored 15th-century fortified island village woven with stone cottages and a royal villa on the mainland opposite, long regarded as one of the Mediterranean's defining luxury resorts. The car-free island holds individually restored cottages and suites along cobbled lanes, while the mainland Villa Milocer keeps eight suites in the former summer residence of Queen Marija, set in olive groves and pine. A private scalloped Queen's Beach is reserved for guests, a 2,500-square-metre Aman Spa and a 24-metre indoor-outdoor pool serve both sides, and Kotor, Budva Old Town and Lake Skadar lie close by. The legendary island-and-villa hideaway of the Budva Riviera — distinct from the year-round Boka Bay marina resorts.
Montenegro
Splendid, Becici
Splendid is a large beachfront family-and-spa resort on the Becici seafront, around two kilometres from Budva's Old Town, with its own private beach. Its headline is scale: Montenegro's largest spa with multiple saunas and a treatment centre, a clutch of indoor and outdoor pools including an adults-only indoor pool, and a genuine family programme with a kids' club, children's pool and playground. Around 340 rooms, most with Adriatic sea views and private balconies, sit above several restaurants and bars, with conference space and a casino on site. A big, well-equipped family-and-spa base on the Budva Riviera — distinct from the island legend of Aman and the apartment-style Dukley. Year-round.
Montenegro
The Chedi Lustica Bay
The Chedi Lustica Bay is GHM's contemporary-Chedi design cascading over a purpose-built marina village on the Lustica peninsula — 111 rooms on a hillside above the marina at Traste Bay, most with a private balcony over the sea, in terrazzo and oak. Three signature restaurants run from contemporary Mediterranean to The Japanese, a destination restaurant with horizon views, and The Spot on the marina promenade. The Asian-inspired Chedi Spa pairs Bali, India and Tibet traditions with organic VOYA products, indoor and outdoor pools and The Chedi beach edge the village, and year-round Adriatic adventure waits on the doorstep. The design-led, Leading-Hotels pick of Boka Bay — distinct from the palatial One&Only at Herceg Novi and the Italian-palazzo Regent on the Tivat superyacht marina. Year-round.
