Budva is buzzing with exciting developments this January 15, 2026. From critical upgrades at the Port of Budva to new cultural and hospitality investments, the town is gearing up for an enhanced visitor experience and a promising tourism season. These improvements not only aim to increase safety and operational reliability but also to enrich Budva’s cultural and hospitality appeal.
The Port of Budva is undergoing subsea infrastructure upgrades focusing on power supply, mooring systems, and environmental protections. This modernization, while modest in investment, is designed to ease congestion and bottlenecks, particularly during the busy summer months, ensuring safer and more reliable services for yachts and boats.
In addition, the municipality has committed €1 million to the construction of the Temple of Saint Mark, envisioned as a symbol of reconciliation and social cohesion. This new cultural landmark is expected to draw spiritual visitors and add a rich layer of heritage to Budva’s vibrant community.
On the hospitality front, the soon-to-open Crowne Plaza Budva hotel will bring an international premium presence to the seaside promenade. Set to welcome guests in early 2026, this upscale hotel aims to attract both business travelers and leisure tourists, supporting Budva’s move toward diversified, high-quality tourism offerings.
Budva’s 2025 summer season faced challenges such as roadworks and traffic bottlenecks, but these infrastructural and hospitality upgrades promise smoother and more enjoyable visits in the coming seasons. The strategic focus on hard and social infrastructure, combined with enhanced tourism capacity, sets a strong foundation for growth.
And now for thrill-seekers and adventure lovers—Budva offers stunning Paragliding opportunities that let you soar above the Adriatic coast for breathtaking views of the town and sea. Tandem paragliding flights are available for all experience levels, providing unforgettable aerial experiences and a unique way to explore Budva’s natural beauty.
Whether you come for the upgraded port facilities, the new cultural temple, luxurious accommodation, or the thrill of Paragliding, Budva in 2026 invites you to discover its blend of modern convenience and adventurous spirit from every angle—especially from the sky!
