Budva Riviera
The Seven Bays
The coast’s most famous walk: promenades, a pedestrian tunnel through the cliff, hidden coves and pine paths linking seven bays — ending at the postcard view of Sveti Stefan.

Good to know
- Getting back: the Olimpia Express local bus runs Sveti Stefan → Pržno → Rafailovići → Bečići → Budva every 10–15 minutes in summer (roughly 08:00–22:00), flat fare about €2.50; a taxi is ~€12.
- The tunnel from Slovenska plaža to Bečići is lit and hung with paintings — its entrance at the east end of the beach is easy to miss; follow the shoreline all the way.
- The Kamenovo → Pržno cliff path is narrow with drops — proper footwear, and keep children close.
- Miločer park routing changes with the Aman season (Villa Miločer from 22 May 2026, the island from 1 July 2026): King’s Beach and Sveti Stefan Beach are public under the 2025 settlement; Queen’s Beach is reserved for Aman guests.
- Shade and water: tamarisks and beach bars on Slovenska plaža; the Zavala headland and the cliff stretch are exposed — last reliable kiosks before Pržno are at Rafailovići.
The walk
Budva Old Town
Stage 1 of 8 →
Venetian walls, the Citadela with its library of model ships — and on the rocks toward Mogren, the bronze Ballerina (1965), the girl who waited for a sailor who never came home. Rub her for luck; the whole town does.

Slovenska plaža
Stage 2 of 8 →
A mile and a half of tamarisk trees and beach bars. Czech holidaymakers camping here in 1935 renamed the beach “Slavic” — it stuck. At its far end, a lit tunnel hung with paintings cuts through the cliff to Bečići.

In 1935 a Paris jury handed this two-kilometre sweep the Grand Prix “Golden Palm” as the most beautiful beach in Europe — the resorts came later; the sand is the same.

One of the three old brotherhoods of Bečići — a stone fishing hamlet whose konobas still cook their own catch, at tables close enough to the water to feel the spray.

Kamenovo beach
Stage 5 of 8 →
Voted Montenegro’s best beach in 2019 — and still bare of buildings, because the sand sits in a protected zone. The locals would prefer you didn’t tell anyone.

Fortified in 1442 by the twelve Paštrović families with booty from a captured Turkish galley; emptied into a town-hotel in the 1950s for Loren, Monroe and Fischer–Spassky; reopening under Aman on 1 July 2026. The island empties, the island returns.
