Travelers are well aware that the sea is different from the sea, and they choose not a certain place for their vacation, but the impressions that they would like to get while being there.
So, lovers of lying all day on the beach are expected on exotic islands. Here you don’t even have to go to the bar for food or drinks - they will bring everything you need. For those who like to combine the useful with the beautiful, it is better to visit the Becici beach, as few people offer such a rich vacation as in Montenegro. It has everything: water sports, beautiful coastline, mountains, ancient history, unusually picturesque landscapes, and delicious food.
Description of the beach
As you know, at the dawn of the twentieth century, people only began to get involved in water tourism, but already in 1935, Becici beach (Montenegro) received the Grand Prix in Paris as one of the best in Europe. It is considered as such today.
Throughout 1950 meters it changes - slightly dark sand on the northernthe tip of the coast turns into golden on the south. A strip of very small pebbles runs along the surf, in which children especially like to mess around.
The beach in Becici (reviews from vacationers confirm this) has a number of advantages over other sea coasts in the same Montenegro and Europe:
- firstly, it is municipal, which means it is free even in those parts that belong to hotels;
- secondly, the gentle descent into the sea guarantees safety and a gradual increase in depth, which is especially important for travelers with children;
- thirdly, it is equipped with everything you need - showers, changing cabins, cafes, bars and toilets;
- fourthly, it is constantly cleaned, so the ecology and cleanliness here are at the highest level;
- fifthly, it is wide enough for everyone to decide how to relax - rent a sun lounger and an umbrella or lie on a towel near the water.
Among the minuses of this beach, you can only point out that there are a lot of people here during the season, but this is understandable, after all, the best in Europe. Prices for comfort on the beach are quite reasonable - a sun lounger under an umbrella will cost 8€, and a wide comfortable bed - 20€.
Since there are no shops on the coast, you should stock up on water and food in advance or buy everything you need in a cafe, but at different prices.
The best time for a relaxing holiday on Becici beach is June, as the main influx of tourists starts in July and subsides only by the end of September.
Dukley Apartments
From the north sideBecici beach ends with a cape that separates the village from the city of Budva. It is completely built up by the Dukley Gardens 4hotel. If you look at it from the sea, it looks a lot like a rock with swallows' nests, but in fact it is full of light and very cozy apartments. Each of them has a kitchen with a dining area, a living room, a bedroom and a comfortable terrace overlooking the sea.
The apartments are equipped with everything you need for a comfortable life: air conditioning, cable TV, LCD TVs, Wi-Fi. There are bathrobes, slippers, bath accessories, dishes and household appliances.
For those who prefer not to waste time preparing their meals, the on-site restaurant serves a wide variety of international and Mediterranean dishes.
The Dukley Gardens 4 hotel, as noted by those who have rested here, allows not only its guests to feel comfortable here, but also their pets, whose accommodation in apartments is absolutely free.
Hotels on the coast
Many customers, when booking rooms, choose hotels with a beach in Becici (Montenegro). They are located directly on the coast and therefore cost several times more, especially in high season, but, as travelers say, they are worth the money.
The Splendid Conference & Spa Resort 5 is especially popular, for example. More and more people are choosing to spend holidays with he alth in mind, so spa hotels are always a success.

Coastal villas
For those who prefer privacy, the best choice would be to rent a house in close proximity to the coast. Becici Beach has a number of villas that will be a real pleasure to stay, but they are worth booking in advance.
For example, an old stone mansion with five bedrooms, well known to the locals as "the house with an olive", is suitable for a large family or a company of up to 10 people.
A 200-year-old olive grows and bears fruit in the courtyard of the house, but besides it, there is something to pay attention to here:
- two-level courtyard with dense greenery and a swimming pool;
- 4 terraces for evening or daytime relaxation, one of which is open (under the olive), and three are covered with comfortable garden furniture;
- manicured garden, flower beds and lawns;
- 2 fitted kitchens, 3 bathrooms;
- sunbeds, barbecue area.
It is only about 300 m to the sea from the house with an olive, along the road past expensive hotels, in whose restaurantsyou can eat if you do not want to cook food. As noted by those who rested here, this villa is the best option for a secluded holiday with the whole family, when there is no one nearby except relatives, the sea and nature.
Hotels off the track
Rafailovici is part of Becici, the sandy beach of which is considered one of the best, although the sand and pebble part of the “Arena” is also in demand, especially for couples with children. You can enjoy any corner of the coast in Montenegro, avoiding high housing costs. For example, hotels and apartments located across the road from the sea are an order of magnitude cheaper than those on the coast.
Besides, all the supermarkets, boutiques and markets are also behind the highway, so everyone willy-nilly cross it, so why pay more?
And although you have to walk 10-15 minutes to the beach, the cost of housing from 20€ per day is very good, as travelers who lived in apartments behind the highway note.
Island of St. Stefan
For clients who choose a luxury holiday, the best option would be a hotel located on the island of St. Stephen. Once there was a fishing village, but today it is a hotel complex that completely occupies the territory of the island.
It is connected to the coast by a sandy isthmus and until the middle of the 20th century, few people knew about it, since the island was inhabited by fishing families. After the Yugoslav government bought it and turned it into an elite holiday destination, celebrities such as Sophia Loren and Kirk Douglas, Princess Margaret and Indira Gandhi, Claudia Schiffer and Sylvester rested here. Stallone and many more.
The island is located just 6 km from Budva, and hotel guests can relax both on the coast near it and visit Becici beach (Montenegro). For active people, the best place to prove themselves will be its western part.
Entertainment
Like all the best beaches, Becici offers its guests numerous attractions, including:
- water skiing;
- paragliding;
- yacht trips;
- beach soccer;
- fishing that will leave the best memories of yourself;
- catamaran ride;
- hiking.
For thrill-seekers, bungee jumping from the highest bridge in Europe and down the mountain rivers are suitable.
Local food
Becici Beach offers a huge selection of restaurants, cafes and just small takeaways with dishes for every taste. The average price of a lunch consisting of a starter, a side dish, fish/meat and a soft drink is 10€. Given that the portions are very large, one is enough to feed two adults.
Customers can choose from French, local, Italian and international cuisines. Restaurants are open until the last customer, so no one goes hungry.
