Holiday homes in Montenegro

Your summer escape on the Adriatic. Lock-and-leave convenience, rental income potential.

Why Montenegro for holiday home buyers?

Montenegro offers the perfect holiday home destination: stunning Adriatic coastline, easy access from Europe, and property prices that won't break the bank. Many buyers combine personal use with rental income, offsetting ownership costs.

The coast offers something for everyone - from the historic charm of Kotor to the beach buzz of Budva, the yacht-set glamour of Porto Montenegro to the unspoilt beauty of Ulcinj. Flight times from major European cities are 2-3 hours, with year-round connections to Tivat and Podgorica.

New developments offer lock-and-leave convenience with management services, pools, and security. Older properties in historic towns provide character and potential for higher rental income. Either way, running costs are low compared to equivalent properties in Spain, France, or Italy.

Key benefits

  • 2-3 hour flights from major European cities
  • Property prices 50-70% below Côte d'Azur or Amalfi

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the running costs?

    Annual costs include: property tax (0.1-1% of value), utilities (~€100/month average), building maintenance (€50-150/month), insurance (~€200/year). Total €1,500-3,500/year for an apartment.

    How easy is it to get to Montenegro?
