Water!
We would like to make you aware that the water supply for showers, sinks, and toilets in our accommodation comes from a tank, which is the case for all houses on the Luštica Peninsula. We kindly request your cooperation in conserving water during your stay. Please avoid taking long showers and be mindful of your water usage in general. By doing so, you will not only help us to maintain the water supply but also contribute to the conservation of the environment.
Although we try to fill the tank before your arrival, it may run out during your stay. In such an event, please inform us immediately, and we will promptly call a water truck to refill the tank.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The Luštica Peninsula
The Kotor Bay Villa is located on the Luštica Peninsula a small village called Zabrđe.
Most people, even locals, when hearing “Luštica” think of “Luštica Bay“, which is a small artificial village on the southern side of Luštica. Luštica Bay is worth a visit in case you are looking for a more upscale experience (bars, restaurants, etc.), the real beauty of the Luštica Peninsula is to be found elsewhere – on pretty beaches, peaceful countryside covered in thick olive and pine woods and the deep blue waters of the Adriatic, and famous Boka Kotorska fjord.
In case you want to visit towns, we recommend strolling around Porto Montenegro in Tivat and the old town of Kotor, both is less than 60 minutes away.
We have created a custom google map with recommendations for you, you can find it here.

Biggest and most known beach on Luštica and the only one with Sand. Might get crowded in July/August.

Hikes
There is infinite number of hikes on the peninsula.
20 min hike down to the Sea – starting right at Kotor Bay Villa
You can actually reach the sea on foot, going down a lovely steep hiking path for about 20 minutes. It might take 25-30 minutes on the way back up. Once you arrive you might think you are walking through private property – you aren’t, just walk on until you reach the dock with the small light house. You can jump in the sea from there or walk in from next to the dock. Watch out for sea urchins!
You need a moderate general fitness.
This is a link to the path, it starts right across the villa and is not always easy to spot.
Rural Luštica Hike
Two hour circular hike (click here for route)
Highest point of Luštica
Hike to a plateau below the antenna station on the highest point of Luštica. Route here.
Off the beaten path
In our opinion the Luštica peninsula real gems are locations that are usually not mentioned in any guide books.
There’s plenty of remains of the Austrian-Hungarian empire, ranging from bunkers, to tunnels to abandoned overgrown fortifications (reach out on whatsapp for more of those)
There are many small bays you can only reach my walking too.
Submarine Tunnel (watch your steps!) (park further up the road and walk down)
Fort Kabala (watch your steps!)
Abandoned Fort Luštica (watch your steps!)
Rose
Very recommended, a small lovely village with a couple of restaurants operating in the warm months.
