Tivat is no longer just a coastal town. It is Montenegro’s winter Riviera—a place where international residents, yacht owners, remote professionals, and lifestyle migrants spend the colder months in a state of quiet, warm, refined simplicity. In summer, Tivat plays its expected role: yachts, cocktails, fashion, nightlife. But winter reveals the deeper identity of the city—a...
Herceg Novi is a town built for winter—unintentionally, but perfectly. Its microclimate is softer than anywhere else on the Bay. Its geography invites walking, healing, breathing, resting.
