Hotel Pana

Hotel Pana, also known as Pansion Pana, is a small seafront hotel in Dobrota, set directly on the shore of the Bay of Kotor about 5 km from Kotor's Old Town. This booking is for a room sleeping 2 guests, with one bedroom, one bed and a private bathroom. Like all 12 rooms in the house, it looks directly out to the sea in a classic Mediterranean setting. The property maintains its own pontoons and beach areas, with clear, warm water and some of the sunniest weather on the coast. A 50-seat restaurant serves fish dishes and Montenegrin national specialities, and there is a summer terrace and a garden by the water. Secured parking is available on site. Staff can arrange excursions to the nearby islands, other parts of the Bay of Kotor, and the Old Town with its cultural and historical monuments.

About the area

Sveti Eustahije is the stretch of Dobrota gathered around its grandest church, a broad baroque building the village's captains paid for in the eighteenth century and filled with silver votive ships. Houses along here sit right on the water with their own piers and mandraći — the pocket harbours where families kept a boat — and the shoreline is a working one rather than a beach: stone edges, ladders, a few metres of pebble, deep water immediately.

That makes it a swimmer's address. The bay is sheltered enough to stay flat most mornings, warm from June into October, and calm enough that a kayak or paddleboard will carry you along the coast under your own power. Boats can be arranged for the crossing to Perast and its offshore church, or across to the shaded beaches beneath Stoliv. Kitchens on this shore lean hard on the sea — grilled fish, black risotto, mussels taken off the lines a few hundred metres out — and Kotor's Old Town, with its cathedral, museums and fortress steps, is a short drive or a long and pleasant walk down the coast road.
