Twins Apartments

Twins Apartments is a newly built apartment in Igalo, on Montenegro's Adriatic coast at the western end of the Bay of Kotor. This unit is arranged for two guests, with one bedroom, one bed and one private bathroom — a straightforward, comfortable fit for couples or a pair of friends travelling together, and an easy base for exploring nearby Herceg Novi and the bay's coastal towns. The building is part of a wider complex of newly constructed apartments in three-, four- and six-room configurations, with Beach Twins and Pizzeria Twins located on-site, so the beach and a place to eat are both within a short walk of the door. Igalo itself is known as a spa and seaside resort area, with a promenade running along the waterfront. Rates start from 63 EUR per night.

About the area

Summer on this part of Njegoševa revolves around the water. The shore below is one of the sandy stretches Igalo is known for, shallow and slow-shelving, with the pizzeria and beach terrace above it, so a day can pass without anyone getting into a car. The bay at this point is protected on all sides, so the sea stays flat and warms early; paddleboards and kayaks make more sense here than anywhere further out on the open coast, and the low water is forgiving for children.

When you want more than the beach, the options start at the waterline. Boat taxis and small operators run from Igalo and Herceg Novi around the mouth of the bay to Žanjic and Mirište, past the island fortress of Mamula, and into the Blue Cave on the seaward side of Luštica. On land, the promenade heads east along the coast to Herceg Novi's old town, a walk of a couple of hours at an easy pace, or fifteen minutes by bus. The best hours are the ones at either end of the day, when the bay turns still and the ridge of Prevlaka across the water goes from green to grey.
