Top Herceg Novi Hotels

BY SARAH

Palmon Bay is one of the top Herceg Novi hotels

Herceg Novi is the town closest to the Croatian border. It's opposite the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and is a great place to base yourself if you'd like a relaxed, beach holiday.

One of Herceg Novi’s main attractions is its old town with clock tower, shops and cafes. There’s also a produce market in the centre of town that’s perfect for picking up some fresh local delicacies like figs, prosciutto, cheeses and the sweetest tomatoes you’ve ever had.

Herceg Novi promenade

There’s a 7km seaside promenade which runs the length of the town. It’s lined with restaurants and shops and is ideal for walks on warm summer evenings. You’ll find bars, live music and little stalls selling art and souvenirs here all summer.

Herceg Novi marina is on this promenade below the old town. Boats leave from here several times a day on excursions.

The Pajo boats have daily excursions around the bay to Kotor and back for €20 per person. There are multiple boats going to the Blue Caves, Zanjice and Miriste beaches on Lustica Peninsula every day. You can also catch a boat from here across the bay to the little fishing village of Rose.

Herceg Novi is known for its small pebble beaches and clear water. This is where you’ll find the best beaches in the Bay of Kotor.

The longest beach is at the end of Herceg Novi, in Igalo. This is a very wide, shallow beach with a silty bottom. You’ll see people here cover themselves with the mud, which lots of people think has medicinal properties.

I’m not sure about that, but it’s a good spot for small kids because it’s so shallow and you can hire peddle boats.

The downside here are the boats that pass the beaches blasting music and advertising local clubs.

Iglalo is the busiest area of Herceg Novi. There are lots of restaurants and shops and it’s the centre of Herceg Novi nightlife. There are a few clubs and bars here which extend out onto the beaches in summer. This means it can be relatively noisy if you’re staying close to the beach.

Savina is the best area in Herceg Novi to stay in and there are a few good hotels here. Savina is:

Close to town – just a 15 minute walk either along the promenade or along the lower road.
Quiet – there are no noisy bars or clubs to keep you awake at night.
Has really nice beaches.

Here are the best Herceg Novi hotels:
