Ninkovic Apartments - Igalo

Ninkovic Apartments is a newly built apartment complex in Igalo, on Montenegro's coast, set 400 metres from the beach and 500 metres from the centre of town. This particular apartment suits couples or solo travellers, sleeping 2 guests in one bedroom with a single bed and one bathroom. The unit measures roughly 35m² and opens onto a private balcony with sea views. Inside, you'll find a kitchen with a refrigerator, cable TV, internet and air conditioning. Shared facilities include guest parking and a large terrace with a grill. A full-time housekeeper looks after the apartments, and coffee and juice are served free each morning. The location is practical for self-catering: a Voli supermarket and a modestly priced grill are close by, and the well-known Restaurant Ilijada is in Igalo on Šetalište 5 Danica. A short, level walk connects you to the seafront promenade and town amenities.

About the area

A few streets back from the water, this part of Igalo trades sea views for quiet and a short downhill walk: roughly 400 metres to the beach and 500 to the centre. What the neighbourhood does have is food. A large supermarket sits close by for self-catering, and the grill houses in the surrounding streets are where locals actually eat, ćevapi and pljeskavica cooked over coals for a fraction of seafront prices. Down on Šetalište Pet Danica the restaurants turn to the sea instead: whole fish sold by the kilo, buzara with mussels from the bay, black risotto, salad of tomato and onion and nothing else.

The wider region eats well and simply. Pršut and hard cheese from the Njeguši villages above Kotor appear on almost every meze plate, olive oil comes from the groves on the Luštica peninsula, and in autumn the mandarins and pomegranates grown around the bay end up in juices and rakija. Beyond the table, the promenade gives you seven kilometres of level walking to Herceg Novi's old town, the institute's mud and thermal treatments run year round, and boats from the quays head out toward Žanjic and the mouth of the bay.
