The Riviera Glamour Road Trip: Exploring Luštica Bay, Porto Montenegro, and Portonovi in One Day

6a6db7e1b46d3.jpg

Over the past decade, Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor has quietly transformed into the ultimate playground for superyachts, nautical luxury, and world-class coastal living. Tucked away along this dramatic fjord-like coastline are three extraordinary resort marinas: Porto Montenegro in Tivat, Portonovi in Kumbor, and Luštica Bay on the open sea. Featuring fine-dining restaurants, luxury boutiques, and vibrant waterfront promenades, visiting these destinations is a must for any traveler seeking a taste of the Mediterranean high life.


While these superyacht hubs are located within a short distance of each other, navigating between them via crowded coastal shuttles or negotiating expensive private taxis can ruin the flow of your day. Renting a sleek sedan or a modern SUV from our fleet gives you the ultimate freedom to hop between all three marinas in style, on your own terms, and at your own pace.

1. Portonovi (Kumbor, Herceg Novi)


Start your morning at Portonovi, an elegant resort village located near the entrance of the Bay of Kotor. Home to the first One&Only resort in Europe, Portonovi features stunning contemporary architecture blended with traditional Mediterranean stone details.

Stroll along the spacious waterfront promenade, grab a morning specialty coffee right next to million-dollar yachts, and enjoy the quiet morning calm.

  • Parking Tip: Portonovi offers a massive, modern underground parking facility right beneath the main village complex. It features automated payment barriers, clear direction signs, and ample shade to keep your vehicle cool during the day.


2. Porto Montenegro (Tivat)


A short, scenic drive around the inner bay brings you to Tivat and the legendary Porto Montenegro. As the country's flagship superyacht marina, this vibrant nautical village is packed with palm-lined avenues, luxury designer fashion boutiques, art galleries, and waterfront cocktail lounges.

It is the perfect stop for a sophisticated lunch overlooking the marina pool or a leisurely afternoon stroll along the docks.

  • Parking Tip: Porto Montenegro has several dedicated, barrier-operated public parking zones. The largest and most convenient option is the central multi-story parking garage located just behind the main shopping boulevard, offering safe, shaded parking only a short walk from the promenade.


3. Luštica Bay (Luštica Peninsula)


To cap off your glamour tour, drive over the scenic hills of the Luštica Peninsula to reach Luštica Bay. Built into the dramatic open-sea cliffs facing the Adriatic, the Marina Village at Luštica Bay offers a Mediterranean town ambiance with stone amphitheaters, private beaches, and spectacular sunset views over the open water.

Ending your day here with an outdoor seafood dinner while watching the yachts navigate the harbour lights is the ultimate Montenegrin summer experience.

  • Parking Tip: Because Luštica Bay is a pedestrian-only resort zone, visitors park in the dedicated visitor parking structures at the top of the hill. From there, comfortable electric shuttle golf carts provide free, continuous transfers down to the marina promenade.


Tips for a Seamless Marina Hopping Drive


Driving between these three nautical hotspots requires taking advantage of modern coastal connections. The short drive between Portonovi and Porto Montenegro takes you past scenic bay views, while heading over to Luštica Bay takes you through peaceful olive groves along the peninsula.

To fit seamlessly into the upscale aesthetic of these luxury resorts, choose a clean, comfortable, and modern vehicle from our fleet. Keeping your vehicle cool under the summer sun is key, so taking advantage of the underground parking garages available at each resort is highly recommended.
