The coastal town of Tivat, in southwest Montenegro, is the perfect place for some rest and recuperation, with the waters of Boka Bay and the Lovćen mountain range nearby. There’s a string of postcard-worthy golden sand beaches running along the coastline, plus delicious seafood. This town has left behind its humble beginnings and now has a sense of swagger thanks to the development of Porto Montenegro, which offers berths for superyachts, high-end boutiques and upscale restaurants. Experience Tivat’s charm by booking one of these stays with Culture Trip.
