Palmon Bay Hotel & Spa occupies a prime waterfront position in the Igalo district of Herceg Novi, at the entrance to Montenegro’s famous Bay of Kotor. Step straight from the hotel down to its private pebble beach and bathing jetty, or stroll along the palm-lined promenade to cafés, local konoba restaurants and casual beach bars.

Herceg Novi’s atmospheric old town – with its fortress, stepped lanes and terracotta roofs – is a short taxi ride away, while day trips to Kotor, Perast or even Dubrovnik are easy to arrange from here.

Promenade bars and restaurants: within a few hundred metres
Herceg Novi old town: approx. 3–4km

Meals at Palmon Bay Hotel & Spa centre on the main restaurant, where generous buffets blend Mediterranean staples with regional Montenegrin dishes and international favourites. Wake up to sea views and a spread of hot and cold options at breakfast, then return in the evening for Half Board dinners featuring fresh salads, grills and homemade desserts.

A stylish lobby bar keeps you topped up with coffees and cocktails throughout the day, while the pool or rooftop bar (seasonal) is the go-to for sundowners overlooking the bay. Local wine and rakija are widely available – a must-try for a taste of Montenegro.

The hotel’s elevated outdoor pool is a real focal point – a sleek, rectangular pool framed by loungers and parasols with uninterrupted views over the Adriatic. It’s perfect for lazy days, cooling dips and golden-hour photo moments.

From the pool deck, steps and lifts take you down to the hotel’s private pebble beach and bathing platform. Here you’ll find sunbeds, umbrellas and direct access to the crystal-clear sea; the calm water makes it inviting for a morning swim or an afternoon float. Pool and beach towels are typically provided by the hotel.

The spa is one of Palmon Bay’s standout features. Expect an expansive wellness area that may include an indoor pool, whirlpools, saunas, steam room, relaxation zones and treatment rooms offering massages, facials and body rituals inspired by the sea and local ingredients (treatments at extra charge).

Beyond the spa, you’ll usually find:
• Small fitness area or gym with cardio and resistance equipment
• Occasional yoga or wellness activities (seasonal)
• Seafront jetty access for swimming and, locally, boat trips or water sports (run independently nearby)

Lifts serve the main building, and the open-plan lobby gives the whole space a relaxed, modern feel with plenty of seating and sea views.

Standard Rooms
Contemporary and airy, Standard Rooms feature neutral tones with blue accents that echo the sea outside. Expect comfortable beds, air-conditioning, Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TV, safe, and a modern bathroom with shower or bath. Some rooms may offer a French balcony or window, while others include a full balcony – ask at the time of booking if outdoor space is important to you.

Side Sea View & Sea View Rooms
Upgrade to enjoy partial or full views of the bay from your balcony – ideal for early morning coffees or evening drinks outside. Facilities are similar to Standard Rooms, with the added bonus of that Adriatic panorama.

Superior & Premium Categories
Select higher-category rooms and suites provide extra space and often enhanced views, seating areas or more generous balconies. These are great choices for longer stays or if you’re celebrating something special.

Family Options
