Where the luxury villas in Montenegro are
Montenegro's coast is short, and the main villa areas lie within about 20 km of Tivat airport. The choice is between the sheltered water of the Bay of Kotor and the beaches of the open Adriatic to the south-east.
Distances below are in a straight line from the airport. The roads around the bay are longer, so where the house sits also decides the drive.
Tivat and Porto Montenegro
The marina town, for a house near the yachts and the restaurants on the quay. Porto Montenegro has more than 500 berths, for yachts up to 250 metres, and is a ten-minute drive from the airport.
The Luštica peninsula
The headland that closes the mouth of the bay, facing the bay on one side and the open sea on the other. Quieter than the towns, and about 8 km from the airport across the water from Tivat.
Budva riviera and Sveti Stefan
The open-sea coast south-east of Budva: beaches, and the walled islet of Sveti Stefan joined to the shore by a causeway, with Pržno beside it. About 16 to 21 km from Tivat, and 32 to 35 km from Podgorica.
Private jet to Montenegro: Tivat, Podgorica or Dubrovnik
Tivat (TIV) is the airport for the coast: 3 km south of the town, between the bay and the mountains, with a 2,500-metre runway. The approach over the bay is a demanding one, and the airport lacks the lighting for night operations, so it is open between sunrise and sunset. Summer is its busy season, when it handles most of its year's passengers.
Podgorica (TGD), the capital's airport, has a runway of the same length and lies inland, 5 km south of the city and across the mountains from the coast. Dubrovnik (DBV), in Croatia, is closer to Herceg Novi and the mouth of the bay. Croatia is in the Schengen area and Montenegro is not, so the drive from Dubrovnik crosses the Schengen external border, with passport checks on both sides.
From London, Tivat is about 1,780 km in a straight line, inside the published range of a light jet such as the Phenom 300. Passengers, bags and winds decide what flies non-stop on the day, and the operator confirms the aircraft and the airport for your dates.
| Airport | Runway | Straight-line distance | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tivat (TIV) | 2,500 m | Kotor 5 km, Perast 10 km, Budva 16 km, Sveti Stefan 21 km | Sunrise to sunset only: no lighting for night operations |
| Podgorica (TGD) | 2,500 m | Sveti Stefan 32 km, Budva 35 km, Tivat 44 km | Inland, 5 km south of the capital; the road to the coast crosses the mountains |
| Dubrovnik (DBV), Croatia | 3,300 m | Herceg Novi 25 km, Perast 36 km, Tivat 41 km | Inside the Schengen area: the drive crosses its external border into Montenegro |

Private jet charter costsWhen to rent a villa in Montenegro
The coast's season runs from May to September: Tivat airport handles about 80% of its passengers in those five months. High summer is when houses, berths and the airport are busiest, so a fixed date in July or August is worth an early enquiry.
Out of season the bay is quiet and fewer airlines fly to Tivat. A private jet is not tied to their timetables, but it is still tied to daylight, which is shortest in winter.
The villa, the jet, the yacht and the staff

The flight
The jet to Tivat, or to Podgorica or Dubrovnik when the arrival time calls for it, with the car to the door.
Private jet charterA yacht
A day boat from the house or a crewed yacht for longer. The captain decides where it goes on the day, so no anchorage is promised in advance.

Frequently asked questions
Which airport is closest to the villas in Montenegro?
Tivat (TIV). It is about 5 km from Kotor, 10 km from Perast, 16 km from Budva and 21 km from Sveti Stefan in a straight line. Podgorica, the capital's airport, is inland across the mountains, and Dubrovnik in Croatia is the other option for the north of the bay.
Can a private jet land in Tivat at night?
No. Tivat lacks the lighting for night operations and is open between sunrise and sunset. A flight that would arrive after dark is planned into Podgorica or Dubrovnik instead, if their hours allow, with the car arranged from there. The operator confirms the timing and the airport for your dates.
Can I fly into Dubrovnik and drive to a villa in Montenegro?
Yes. Dubrovnik is about 25 km from Herceg Novi in a straight line. Croatia is in the Schengen area and Montenegro is not, so the drive crosses the Schengen external border, with passport checks leaving Croatia and entering Montenegro. Allow time for them, and check the entry rules for every passport in the party.
Do I need a visa to stay in Montenegro?
It depends on the passport. British citizens can visit without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, according to GOV.UK, and every visitor must register with the local tourist office or the police within 24 hours of arrival. Check the current rules for each nationality before you travel.
Do you publish villas and prices?
No. Availability and rates change from week to week, so we propose the houses free for your dates, each with its description, price and terms. A particular villa you have seen is welcome; we can approach it for you.
Do you own the villas or the yachts?
No. We arrange them through owners, management companies and charter operators, and the proposal names who provides each part. We have no office in Montenegro.
