Budva is entering an exciting new phase with major urban planning changes, infrastructure projects, and booming tourism, all set against its stunning Adriatic coastline.
A landmark decision to remove the long-controversial Zavala desalination plant marks a political and environmental reset for one of Budva’s most disputed coastal zones. This move not only protects the natural landscape but also signals a shift towards more sustainable development, welcomed by residents and environmental groups alike. Alongside this, the recent launch of the Budva bypass tender promises to alleviate traffic congestion in the town center, improving accessibility and enhancing the visitor experience over the coming years despite some short-term construction disruptions.
Tourism in Budva continues to flourish with several high-end hotel projects underway, such as the Crowne Plaza Budva and boutique five-star hotels near the Old Town. These investments underscore strong confidence in Budva as Montenegro’s premier coastal destination, combining luxury with the charm of the historic town. Meanwhile, Montenegro’s hotel sector reports a 4.8% growth in visitors this year, with Budva capturing a significant share of this upward trend, supported by year-round events including the European Youth Chess Championship and water polo competitions.
