Montenegro Vacations

Sveti Stefan beach is one of the most beautiful beaces among Budva Riviera. At this, for many people the most attractive spot of all the Adriatic coast, we come across a very rare natural phenomenon the “tombola”. It is a sandy isthmus that connects the coast with the crag, on which St. Stefan, the exclusive town-hotel is built.

There are two sandy beaches on the left and on the right side of the “tombola”. The sand is reddish and the beaches are 1170m long. In the background there are restaurants, cafes, a hotel, a diving club and a parking lot. All this is situated in a park that is arranged in Mediterranean style. St. Stefan is the only deluxe location on the Montenegrin seaside, and its exclusiveness has been famous in the world for a long time. The most popular people have gladly come here to spend their vacations. Some of the guests were Willy Brandt, Bob Fisher, Sofia Loren, Monica Vitti, Ingemar Stenmark, Sylvester Stallone, Claudia Schiffer, etc. Among the recognitions that St. Stefan has received, is the prized Golden Apple award (1964) from Life magazine.
