Budva continues to shine as a top Adriatic destination with exciting developments shaping its future. The highly anticipated Crowne Plaza Budva is set to open soon on the scenic Slovenska obala promenade, just steps from the sea, Old Town, and marina, offering modern, upscale amenities. This addition will elevate Budva’s hospitality scene and attract both leisure and business travelers eager for a high-end experience.
Tourism in Budva is growing steadily, with nearly 30,000 visitors recorded last year, mostly foreigners, signaling strong prospects for 2026. Meanwhile, a €14 million renovation of the Slovenska Plaza complex is underway, promising improved accommodations and enhanced tourism infrastructure by the upcoming season. This ongoing investment cements Budva’s reputation as a premier Adriatic destination.
However, Budva’s municipal administration faces challenges, with increased sick leave among staff in 2024 sparking important discussions about public service efficiency. On the business front, Budvanska Rivijera’s recent court victory has cleared financial uncertainties and strengthened its capacity to invest further in hotel upgrades and city infrastructure, supporting sustained tourism growth.
