Tivat is the modern face of the Bay of Kotor — a town where luxury marinas meet peaceful swimming coves and stunning mountain views.
Tivat has quickly developed into one of the most dynamic places in Montenegro. The town center is dominated by Porto Montenegro — a luxurious marina that combines exclusive boutiques, restaurants, and hotels with a harbor for some of the world’s most impressive yachts. Despite its glamorous appearance, there is a relaxed atmosphere here; many visitors come simply to stroll along the waterfront and enjoy the views of the mountains surrounding the bay. Behind the marina lies the older part of Tivat, with small squares where locals gather and cafés serving strong coffee and baklava.
If you want to swim, there are several beautiful beaches in and around Tivat, including the family-friendly Plavi Horizonti on the Luštica Peninsula and smaller swimming spots along the coastal road. The town is also an excellent starting point for boat trips around the Bay of Kotor or day trips to nearby islands and small villages. During summer, festivals and cultural evenings are held in the parks along the new promenade, creating a refreshing contrast to the more historic atmosphere of Kotor and Perast.
What makes Tivat unique is its combination of modern luxury and natural beauty. Just minutes from the central marina, you’ll find green parks and hiking trails leading into the mountains. The town’s international airport also makes it a convenient gateway to the entire Bay of Kotor region.
Tivat proves that Montenegro can be both sophisticated and relaxed — a place where superyachts and small fishing boats share the same sunshine.
