Budva, Montenegro’s busiest seaside town, is buzzing with life even as the summer tourist season winds down. The town is still feeling the effects of a record-breaking summer, with local businesses facing the ongoing challenge of finding enough trained seasonal workers to keep up with demand. Despite higher wages, the hospitality sector struggles, highlighting the need for a stable, year-round workforce complemented by seasonal hires. This approach aims to maintain Budva’s vibrant charm beyond just the summer months.
Adding to the excitement, a new Crowne Plaza hotel is set to open its doors near Budva’s Old Town promenade in early 2026. With about 80 rooms tailored for both business and leisure travelers, this upscale development signals a strong push toward attracting high-end, year-round tourism along Montenegro’s beautiful Adriatic coast.
Safety remains a priority in Budva’s lively atmosphere. Recent strict measures against drunk driving demonstrate local authorities’ commitment to keeping the town safe for residents and visitors alike. These efforts are especially important in a place where nightlife and heavy traffic are part of daily life.
Despite challenges such as past wildfires and health concerns, Budva’s spirit remains unshaken, ready to welcome adventurers and holidaymakers. For those seeking a unique way to experience the stunning coastline, Paragliding offers a breathtaking perspective. Soar above the Adriatic Sea with Budva Paragliding — an easy, safe, and unforgettable activity that adds an exhilarating twist to your Montenegro adventure.
