Hotel Delfin in Bijela

Hotel Delfin is a 4-star hotel in Bijela, on Montenegro's coast along the Bay of Kotor. Recently renovated into one of the most modern and best-equipped hotels on the Montenegrin coast, it spreads across 10,000 square meters with 112 rooms and 8 apartments totalling 420 beds. This particular booking is a room for 2 guests, with one bedroom, one bed and a private bathroom — suited to couples or a pair of friends. Rooms feature purpose-designed furniture, modern bathrooms, TV and air conditioning, and most look out to the sea. The hotel keeps its own sandy beach and pier, with sea temperatures of 22–26°C making swimming possible from May through October. On site you'll find a 400-seat restaurant, an 80-seat banquet hall, three terraces overlooking the bay and its mountain backdrop, plus a lobby aperitif bar and souvenir shop. Excursions to cultural monuments and boat cruises are organised by the hotel, which is fully air-conditioned and open year-round.

About the area

Real sand is rare in the Boka, and the shore in front of this part of Bijela is one of the reasons the village fills up in July. The beach shelves gently, the bay stays flat on most summer days, and the water warms early — comfortable from May and still swimmable in October, long after the open-sea resorts have packed away their loungers. Behind it the town is unglamorous in a way that suits families: a supermarket, a couple of bakeries, ice cream in the evening, and restaurant terraces that look straight across the water to the green wall of Vrmac with the mountains stacked behind it.

Because Bijela has a small harbour, the sea is also the road. Boats leave through the summer for the classic Boka circuit — Perast, the man-made islet of Our Lady of the Rocks, and Kotor at the head of the bay beneath its zigzag fortress walls — while shorter runs make for the coves near the bay's mouth. Inland, the coast road reaches Herceg Novi in twenty-odd minutes, where the Savina monastery sits among cypresses above the sea. Out of season the village keeps working rather than closing, which means there is always somewhere open for coffee and the promenade belongs to residents again.
