As 2025 draws to a close, Budva, Montenegro's Adriatic gem, stands on the brink of exciting transformations that promise to enhance tourism, infrastructure, and environmental stewardship. Montenegro has extended the tender deadline to 26 January 2026 for a €237 million bypass project designed to relieve Budva's notorious summer traffic congestion, improve local life, and unlock new prospects for investment and growth.
Adding to Budva's appeal, the Crowne Plaza Budva—an 81-room premium hotel on the Slovenska obala promenade—is set to open in the first quarter of 2026, further positioning the city as a premier upscale destination on the Adriatic coast. However, alongside these advances, Budva continues to grapple with environmental challenges, including the Zavala sand controversy and recent flooding, underscoring the need for sustainable development to protect its breathtaking coastline for future generations.
But the wonders of Budva go beyond land and sea. Paragliding over this vibrant city offers an unparalleled perspective—soaring high above the historic town and azure waters, visitors can experience a thrilling escape and witness Montenegro from the sky. Budva Paragliding provides safe, expert-guided tandem flights perfect for adventurers eager to embrace the fresh air and panoramic vistas.
With new infrastructure projects, luxury hospitality, environmental awareness, and breathtaking aerial excursions rising hand in hand, Budva invites travelers and locals alike to embrace a dynamic chapter of growth and unforgettable adventures in 2026.
