Hotel Avala Resort and Villas has one of Budva’s standout addresses – virtually attached to the Old Town walls and rising above the beachfront promenade. From here you can drift between pebbly coves, the marina and lively café terraces within minutes.

The hillside layout makes the most of the views: higher levels gaze over the red roofs and church spires of the Old Town towards Sveti Nikola Island, while the lower terraces spill towards the sea. By day you’ve got bathing platforms and nearby town beaches; by night, you’re seconds from Budva’s restaurant-lined lanes and waterfront bars.

Beachfront promenade and bathing spots: on the doorstep
Budva Old Town gate: approx. 100m
Budva marina: approx. 250m
Shops, bars & restaurants: 0–300m radius

Approx. transfer time from airport: 30–45 minutes from Tivat (TIV); around 1–1.5 hours from Podgorica (depending on traffic).

Budva, Montenegro

The hotel’s main restaurant typically serves a generous buffet breakfast, with hot and cold dishes, local cheeses and fresh fruit to set you up for a day exploring the Riviera. Depending on season and occupancy, Half Board and Full Board guests can expect buffet or set-menu options at lunch and dinner, featuring Mediterranean and international favourites.

A la carte and snack options are usually available in the day, from casual bites by the pool to coffee and desserts on the terrace overlooking the sea. Evening bars and lounges offer cocktails and regional wines with a view of the Old Town lights and passing yachts – perfect for a pre-dinner drink before wandering into Budva for more dining options.

Exact dining venues, opening hours and dress codes can change with the season; you’ll receive the latest information at check-in.

The star of the show is the hotel’s attractive multi-level outdoor pool area, cascading down towards the sea with plenty of sunbathing space and panoramic views across the bay. Loungers and parasols dot the terraces, and there’s usually a pool bar on hand for drinks and light snacks during the day.

Just in front of the hotel you’ll find a small beach and bathing platforms typical of the Budva Riviera, with steps into the clear Adriatic. A longer public pebble/sand beach stretches away from the Old Town, lined with cafés and bars – ideal if you want a change of scene or a longer seafront stroll.

An indoor pool is also generally available within the wellness area, giving you a quiet space for a dip outside the peak of the midday sun or on cooler days shoulder-season.

Stay active in the hotel’s gym, which typically features cardio equipment and free weights, then wind down in the sauna or steam area. A dedicated spa offers massages and beauty treatments (payable locally), drawing on both European and regional wellness traditions.

Additional facilities often include:
– Indoor pool within the spa zone
– Sauna and relaxation areas
– Occasional evening entertainment or live music in-bar (seasonal)
– 24-hour reception and lobby lounge
– Conference facilities and meeting rooms, making the hotel appealing for events and incentives

Please note that some wellness services and indoor facilities may operate restricted hours or require advance reservation, particularly in low season.

Standard Rooms
Comfortable, modern rooms in the main hotel building, typically with either inland, partial sea or full sea views. Expect neutral décor, air-conditioning, private bathroom (shower or bath), satellite TV, Wi‑Fi, safe, and minibar or mini-fridge. Many have a balcony or terrace – higher floors usually get the best panoramas over the Old Town and bay.

Superior & Sea-View Rooms
Often more spacious or with improved outlooks, these are ideal if you want to make the most of the location. Facilities are similar to Standard Rooms but with upgraded positioning, larger balconies or a better aspect towards the sea or Old Town.

Suites
Suites usually add a separate living area or open-plan lounge space, offering more room to relax between sightseeing sessions. They are a good pick for longer stays or if you’re travelling as a small family, with the sofa sometimes converting into an extra bed.

Villas
Tiered up the hillside behind the main building, the villa-style accommodation often provides a more residential vibe. These units may feature separate bedrooms and living rooms, plus terraces or small gardens that face the sea or Old Town. They work well for families or friends sharing, while still giving access to all hotel facilities.

In all categories, housekeeping is generally provided daily with regular towel and linen changes. Exact room layouts, views and amenities vary by building and category, so use any room images as a guide rather than a guarantee of your specific allocation.
