Budva, Montenegro

Hotel Fagus keeps dining simple and flexible. Expect a light, modern restaurant serving breakfast with continental and hot options – ideal fuel before a day of exploring Budva or heading out on a coastal boat trip. Half Board guests can typically enjoy a set or buffet-style dinner featuring international favourites alongside regional Mediterranean dishes.

There’s also a lobby or lounge bar for pre-dinner drinks and nightcaps, and with Budva’s nightlife all around you, it’s easy to step out to local restaurants, seafood konobas and wine bars whenever you fancy a change of scene. Menus, serving times and dress codes can change seasonally; check the latest details on arrival.

The standout feature is the compact rooftop pool – a calm spot to cool off between sightseeing runs or simply unwind with views across Budva’s red-tiled roofs and nearby hills. Expect sunloungers and parasols for relaxing and catching those late-afternoon rays.

Beaches are within walking distance, so you can split your time between the hotel’s rooftop and the Adriatic shoreline. Slovenska Beach and smaller coves around the Old Town are close by, offering a mix of organised sections with sunbed hire and more informal stretches where you can simply roll out a towel.

Any on-site gym, spa or wellness services are typically limited; most guests use the hotel as a comfortable base and head out into Budva for activities, boat trips, hiking in the nearby hills or day tours along the coast. Opening hours and services can vary by season and occupancy.

• Join coastal and island boat trips from the marina
