Enjoy the magic of Iberostar Hotels & Resorts at their Waves resorts in Montenegro

There aren’t many places in the world where amber-hued beaches lie just steps away from an ancient citadel that was once part of the Venetian Empire, but this is exactly what clients can expect from Budva in Montenegro, and Iberostar Waves Slavija is well located to see both sides. Budva’s medieval core lies at one end of Slovenska Beach while the resort lies at the other, meaning clients have a scenic, 15-minute beachfront walk to reach this fascinating portal into Budva’s past. The well-located resort is ideal for families with older children and couples.

Its status as a former Venetian stronghold means there’s an extra layer of glamour to Budva, something that seeps through today and is echoed at Iberostar Waves Slavija. To appreciate the surrounding Venetian architecture that has stood for centuries, your clients will only need to head to the hotel’s rooftop pool, which not only acts as a refreshing sanctuary but delivers widescreen views of Budva’s medieval grandeur and the glittering Adriatic Sea. It’s easy to see where Iberostar drew its inspiration from with its rooms, with each one suitably bedecked in Mediterranean decor. Each one serves as a calming cocoon your clients will be sure to appreciate. 

The laid-back atmosphere goes up a notch at the hotel’s spa, where a session in the sauna, hammam or a massage will feel like a real treat after time spent exploring Budva. Guests can also get a taste for Montenegro in the hotel’s buffet restaurant, where local favourites such as grilled fish and roast lamb are expertly cooked, or they can pair the flavours of freshly mixed drinks with views of the Adriatic from the rooftop bar.

2. Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi

Guarding the entrance to fjord-like Kotor Bay, the fortified town of Herceg Novi is a handsome jumble of churches, airy squares and ancient villas. In among it all stands Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi, a Mediterranean-inspired resort that’s right on the edge of the Adriatic. The rooftop pool and sundeck offer a prime vantage point from which to admire its waters, but if guests want to take a closer look, the hotel offers private access to Herceg Novi’s beach. The hotel’s water platform also affords clients the opportunity to explore Kotor Bay for themselves, with paddleboards, kayaks and canoes available to hire (for an extra cost).

Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi is a great option for both adults and children, with memorable Montenegrin meals to be had in the main restaurant and sundowner cocktails to be enjoyed at the relaxed La Bahía Bar. The hotel’s Star Camp is its own kids’ club, with everything from handicrafts to board games and outdoor activities. Star Camp caters for children from age four to 17, with different activities available to various age groups. But with the hotel facing out towards the twinkling Adriatic and pristine Kotor Bay, the majesty of Montenegro’s natural beauty will never leave guests for too long – young or old.

3. Iberostar Waves Bellevue

Less than two miles from the medieval town of Budva, Iberostar Waves Bellevue has the sparkling Adriatic on one side and an emerald-coated hill on the other. Encasing the resort is 40,000 square metres of lush gardens, a leafy setting that never fails to slow the pulse of its guests. Within the palm-laden grounds clients can find four swimming pools, including a children’s pool and one with its own swim-up bar, while the hotel’s own beach is a fine way for couples to relax and families to create lifelong memories. Active guests can take to one of the hotel’s three clay tennis courts or try water polo, yoga, aquatic sports and more.

Children can stay just as busy at the Star Camp, complete with activity workshops, an outdoor park, games room and age-specific activities for children aged four right up to 17. When the time comes to refuel, guests can sample the best of Montenegrin gastronomy at the hotel’s two main restaurants, grab a slice or two at the Pizzeria snack bar or let the Adriatic do the talking with a cocktail overlooking the water at the Piano Bar – an apt way to pay tribute to Montenegro’s natural splendour.
