Dukley Hotel & Resort puts you on the secluded Zavala Peninsula between Budva and Bečići, with direct access to three private beaches. Stay here if you want the beach below your room and Budva's old town within easy reach.
Hotel, Budva. Meridian Dispatch.
Tivat is the nearest airport, about 20 km and 30 minutes away by road. Podgorica airport is about 50 km and an hour away, and Dubrovnik about 70 km and two hours, with a border crossing on the way. The hotel arranges transfers for guests.
Yes. The resort has three private beaches on the Zavala Peninsula, reached straight from the grounds. Dukley Beach & Bar, the resort's own beach bar, sits on one of the rare sandy beaches in Budva.
No. The resort takes children and runs a Kids Club with family experiences. Its multi-bedroom residences come with kitchens and terraces, which suits families who want room to spread out and cook for themselves.
The hotel lists its beaches and rooftop pool as seasonal venues and calls late spring to early autumn the ideal months for the coast. Its Penthouse Dining rooftop terraces are listed as available year round, and the hotel's site carries current opening.
About 2 km, by the hotel's own measure. Guests can take the complimentary boat shuttle from the hotel pier when it is running, or a taxi by road.
The resort covers the top of the Zavala Peninsula, a secluded headland with pine on its slopes that runs out into the sea. Its gardens, Dukley Gardens, fill the ground between the buildings.
Hotel rooms have private balconies over either Budva's old town or the gardens, so ask for the town side when you book if the view matters most. The residences run from one to four bedrooms, each with a full kitchen and a private terrace facing the Adriatic. The penthouses have panoramic sea views, and some come with an outdoor hot tub.
Go up to the heated infinity pool on the roof for the widest view, over the Adriatic, the old town and the Riviera. Mountains rise behind the coast on the landward side.
Each part of the hillside resort is linked by shuttle buggies, and the next one usually comes within a few minutes. A complimentary boat shuttle links the hotel pier with Budva Old Town, so ask reception whether it is running during your stay. Check-in can be done in your room.
Breakfast comes with the kosher stay package; ask whether it is included in your rate. Shalom, the kosher restaurant, serves lunch and dinner by reservation.
Days split between the rooftop Infinity Pool Club and the beaches. Laguna, the beach club, has sunbeds, cocktails and music by day. The Harmonia Wellbeing SPA gives guests the gym, sauna and steam room at no charge.
With children, swim from the resort beaches, which are shallow at the water's edge. The resort also runs a Kids Club, and a residence lets the family cook its own meals on days out of the sun.
If you want a public beach instead, Becici Beach is 150 m away.
Nearest first, all within 28 minutes on foot from the door.
The town
Walk the cliff path to Mogren and the lanes of the walled town, then go to the City Museum to see how old Budva really is: most of what you walk through was rebuilt after the 1979 earthquake.
