Jelena Villas and Apartments

Jelena Villas and Apartments offers a one-bedroom apartment in Tivat, on Montenegro's Boka Bay coast, sleeping two guests in one bed with a single bathroom. It forms part of a 4-star complex that includes Villa "Stara Kuća" alongside one, two and three-bedroom duplex apartments across Tivat and Budva. The Tivat units sit directly on the waterfront, just 5 metres from the sea, with a private beach pontoon and a scenic promenade leading to the Porto Montenegro marina a few hundred metres away. The apartment is finished in modern materials and has a sea-view balcony, air conditioning, an LED TV with cable channels, WiFi and a private garage, with video surveillance throughout the complex. Daily cleaning and changes of towels and linen are included. Restaurants, bars and traditional konobas serving Boka cuisine are close by, and yacht and car rental can be arranged.

About the area

This is the seafront strip on Tivat's marina side, where houses stand right on the rock with their own ponte — the small concrete bathing platforms and walled boat harbours that Boka families have built for generations. There is no beach in the wide sandy sense; you swim off the edge into deep, clear water, and the shoreline path links one ponta to the next until it delivers you to Porto Montenegro a few hundred metres along.

That proximity shapes the days. The marina brings a row of waterfront restaurants, a swimming club and the Naval Heritage Collection with its two museum submarines, but the konobas just outside it are where the bokeška kužina survives — buzara, fish soup, octopus cooked ispod sača, mussels from the beds near the Verige narrows. Boats leave the quay and private moorings for Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, the Blue Cave and the beaches at the mouth of the bay, and charter yachts are a normal sight rather than an event. Tivat's centre, green market and airport are each within a few minutes, and the Lepetane ferry north shortens the run to Herceg Novi and the open Adriatic.
