FKK Ada Bojana

You might not know this, but Ulcinj is home to Montenegro’s most popular nudist resort, Paradise Island.

Although the resort is quite basic by today’s standards, it’s still a hugely popular place for naturists from all over Europe.

The huge area of natural beauty and beach that’s secluded from outsiders is truly unique and really is a paradise for lovers of the clothing-optional lifestyle.

If you're interested in camping in a clothing-optional location, check out Camp Full Monte.

Starting at €33

Local’s Tip: Paradise Island was the scene of one of Yugoslavia’s most famous films, Lepota Poroka (The Beauty of Vice).

In the film an impoverished couple from one of Montenegro’s ultra-conservative, patriarchal villages finds work in Ulcinj. The husband gets a job at the salt pan and the wife gets a job as a cleaner at the nudist resort.

The film focuses on the clash of cultures and the fallout of the wife’s introduction to a more liberal lifestyle.

The actress who played the wife (Mira Furlan) went on to move to the USA and have major roles on Babylon 5 and Lost.
