Budva is perfectly situated in the heart of the coastline, making it the ultimate starting point for road trips. In 2026, however, true luxury is not just the journey itself, but a route where every turn reveals a view worthy of a magazine cover.

For the residents of Oakleaf Residences, we have curated three exclusive itineraries that showcase the country’s stunning contrasts: from Mediterranean fjords to Alpine meadows.

Route 1: “Serpentine Above the Clouds” (Budva – Lovćen – Cetinje)

For lovers of breathtaking panoramas and deep history.

• The Old Road over Budva: Depart early in the morning toward Cetinje to witness the Budva Riviera waking up from a bird’s-eye view.

• Njegusi Village: The birthplace of the Petrović dynasty and the famous Montenegrin pršut (prosciutto). Stop for a tasting at one of the local family smokehouses.

• Lovćen & the Njegoš Mausoleum: Climb the 461 steps to the “Olympus” of Montenegro. On a clear day, you can see the entire country—from Skadar Lake to the peaks of Durmitor.

• The “Ladder of Cattaro” Descent: The legendary 25 serpentines leading down to Kotor. This is one of the most photogenic road stretches in the world.

• Pro Tip: We recommend renting a convertible for this route to fully experience the crisp mountain air.

Route 2: “Adriatic Riviera & Skadar Lake”

For connoisseurs of wine, seclusion, and wild nature.

• Sveti Stefan: A mandatory first stop for a photo against the backdrop of the legendary island hotel.

• Paštrovići Mountain Road: Instead of the tunnel, take the old scenic pass. Here, the sea views transition into majestic mountain ridges.

• Virpazar: The gateway to Skadar Lake. Charter a private boat for an hour to see the lily pad fields and rare Dalmatian pelicans.

• Rijeka Crnojevića: An incredibly picturesque spot where the river creates a horseshoe bend. Enjoy fresh carp at one of the local riverside taverns.

• Pro Tip: On your way back, visit a private winery in the Crmnica region to pick up a bottle of exclusive Vranac.

Route 3: “Heart of the Boka” (Budva – Perast – Herceg Novi)

For those seeking Old World charm and yachting chic.

• Perast: The most photogenic town in the bay. Leave your car and take a short boat ride to the “Our Lady of the Rocks” island.

• Kotor: Wander through the labyrinthine streets of the Old Town before the cruise ships arrive.

• Lepetane-Kamenari Ferry: A short but pleasant nautical break for your car as you cross the bay.

• Porto Montenegro (Tivat): End your day with a stroll through the super-yacht marina and dinner at one of the premium waterfront restaurants.

• Pro Tip: Ask the Oakleaf Concierge to book a sunset-view table in advance.
