Bečići is a purpose-built resort town, so most of its accommodation is beachfront hotels and resorts strung along the sand, from a landmark five-star to good-value family places. The choice is mostly about budget and how much resort you want — full-service spa and pools, all-inclusive, or a simple sea-view room near the beach. Here is how to pick, by price. For the full list, see our hotels page.
The beach — and which end?
The reason to stay here is the beach: a roughly 2 km sweep of sand (about 1,950 m, up to 100 m wide) that won the Grand Prix in Paris in 1935 as the most beautiful beach in Europe — a claim Bečići still trades on. Its length means two distinct ends, and which you pick matters as much as the hotel:
- The Budva (north) end — busier and more built-up, but a flat 20–30 minute walk along the seaside promenade into Budva's old town and its nightlife. Best if you want the town and the bars on your doorstep.
- The Rafailovići (south) end — quieter, where the sand slides into the fishing village of Rafailovići and its authentic waterfront of fish tavernas. Best for calm, seafood evenings and space on the sand.
Note that several stretches of the beach are private to hotel guests, so a beachfront hotel buys you a lounger as well as a location.
Five-star (€€€€)
- Splendid Conference & Spa Resort (€€€€) — Bečići's landmark luxury hotel, with a private beach, indoor and outdoor pools, a large spa and wellness centre, sea-view rooms and several restaurants. The top-end choice on the Riviera.
Upscale resorts (€€€)
- Iberostar Waves Bellevue (€€€) — a large all-inclusive beachfront resort in mature subtropical gardens between Bečići and Rafailovići, with outdoor pools, a spa, tennis courts and direct beach access. A family favourite.
- Eurostars Queen of Montenegro (€€€) — a big, design-led hotel a short walk back from the beach, with a striking rooftop infinity pool over the bay, bright contemporary interiors and sea-view rooms.
- Mediteran Resort (€€€) — a large, well-established beachfront resort at the Budva end of Bečići, with two big outdoor pools, checkerboard sun terraces and an easy walk into Budva old town. Straightforward, good value.
- Hotel Montenegro Beach Resort (€€€) — a four-star resort right on Bečići sand from the Montenegro Stars group (the owners of the Splendid), with two outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool, a spa and its own beach loungers.
Value (€€)
- Hotel Poseidon (€€) — a friendly, family-run hotel with its own beach and beach restaurant at the quieter Rafailovići end, where simple sea-view rooms open onto a long sweep of sand with an offshore aqua-park.
- Hotel Tara (€€) — a large, good-value hotel a short walk from Bečići Beach, with an outdoor pool, an indoor spa pool and a garden bar. Well placed for both the beach and the walk into Budva.
- Hotel Slovenska Plaža (€€) — a big, village-style resort of low-rise buildings and gardens just back from Budva's long Slovenska Plaža beach, with large outdoor pools and a children's play area. A dependable family base in the middle of town.
On the Zavala peninsula and toward Pržno
Between Bečići and Rafailovići, and on the quieter stretch south toward Sveti Stefan, a few standout stays:
- Hotel Harmonia by Dukley (€€€€) — a design-led hotel on the Zavala peninsula between Bečići and Rafailovići, part of the upmarket Dukley development, sitting above its own beach with a wellness centre and sea-view rooms.
- Maestral Resort & Casino (€€€) — a large seafront resort above the fishing cove of Pržno, a short walk from Sveti Stefan, with sea-view balconies, an infinity pool, a spa and its own casino.
- Hotel Imperial Conference & Spa (€€€) — a striking curved four-star hotel with a spa on the main road between Budva and Bečići, within walking distance of both the beach and the old town.
Or base yourself in Budva town
If you would rather be in the town itself — closer to the old town, bars and Slovenska Plaža — a short drive or promenade walk up the coast, two good-value options stand out:
- Hotel Aleksandar (€€) — a big family resort of low-rise buildings and bungalows in gardens steps from Slovenska Plaža, with three outdoor pools, a spa and a kids' club, a 15-minute walk from the old town.
- Hotel Blue Star (€€) — a modern four-star town hotel (also Montenegro Stars) a short walk from the old town and the beach, with its own restaurant and the Bonjour café downstairs — a practical base rather than a resort.
- Avala Resort & Villas (€€€) — a big resort right beside the old town walls, with a much-photographed infinity pool looking straight onto the citadel, a mix of rooms and villas, and its own beach terrace.
- Hotel Ruzmarin Spa & Garden (€€€) — for something quieter, a boutique stone-built spa hotel in the hills of Prijevor above Budva, with a garden and a pool over the coast, a short drive down to the beaches.
- Hotel Mogren (€€) — a landmark hotel in a distinctive white building right beside the old town walls, steps from the citadel, the Mogren beaches and the town's bars.
- Hotel TQ Plaza (€€) — a modern hotel with a courtyard pool and sun terrace in central Budva, a short walk from both Slovenska Plaža and the old town.
- Villa Aleksandra (€) — simple, good-value self-catering apartments at the quieter Rafailovići end, a short walk from the beach and the village's fish tavernas.
Further south: Sveti Stefan, Miločer and Petrovac
Down the coast toward the island of Sveti Stefan and the resort town of Petrovac (about 17 km south), a few good-value stays away from the Bečići crowds:
- Hotel Adrović (€€) — a family-run hotel on the hillside above Sveti Stefan, with sea-view rooms and a rooftop terrace restaurant looking over the island.
- Hotel HEC Residence (€€€) — a small, upscale sea-view hotel near Miločer, at the quiet green stretch between Pržno and Sveti Stefan, a walk down to the Miločer park and beaches.
- Hotel Palas (€€€) — a large beachfront-gardens hotel on the Petrovac promenade, with sea-view rooms and a lawn running down to the seafront.
- Hotel Rivijera (€€) — a seafront hotel with an outdoor pool on the Petrovac promenade, looking out to the little Katič and Sveta Nedjelja islets.
- MonteCasa Spa & Wellness Hotel (€€€) — a spa-and-pool hotel above the Petrovac seafront, with a wellness centre and sea-view rooms in a quieter setting.
What it costs, and when to book
Prices swing hard by season and how much resort you want. As a rough guide for two people per night in peak July–August (2026):
- Apartments and simple sea-view rooms (€–€€) — roughly €60–110, and Bečići and Rafailovići apartments typically run ~10–20% below the equivalent on the Budva side. The best-value pick for families, groups and longer stays.
- Three- and four-star hotels (€€–€€€) — from around €85+, more for direct beachfront and half-board.
- Beachfront resorts and the five-star Splendid (€€€–€€€€) — well into €200+ at the peak.
Shoulder season is the biggest lever: May–June and September–October can cost noticeably less — often close to half — for warm, swimmable water and thinner crowds. Note too that Bečići is a seasonal resort: most beachfront hotels run roughly May to October, and many close from November to March (Budva town stays open year-round), so plan a summer or shoulder trip within that window. Above all, book well ahead for July and August — the Budva Riviera is packed at the peak, and the best beachfront rooms and apartments go early.
One extra to budget: Montenegro charges a small tourist tax (boravišna taksa) of about €1 per adult per night in the Budva area (under-12s free, 12–18s half), collected by your hotel or apartment and doubling as your legally-required registration of stay, which must be done within 24 hours of arrival — so if you book a private apartment or Airbnb, confirm your host actually registers you.

How to choose
For the full spa-and-pools experience, the Splendid (€€€€) or the €€€ resorts (Iberostar for all-inclusive, Queen of Montenegro for the rooftop pool). For quieter and more personal, head to the Rafailovići end (Hotel Poseidon); for walking distance to Budva's old town and bars, the Budva end (Mediteran). For value near everything, Hotel Tara or Mediteran. Beyond the hotels, Bečići and Rafailovići also have plenty of apartments and private rooms — usually the better-value pick for families, groups and longer stays who want a kitchen and space.

Is Bečići beach any good?
Yes — it's a roughly 2 km sweep of sand (with some fine pebbles), up to 100 m wide, that won the Grand Prix in Paris in 1935 as the most beautiful beach in Europe. Its length means there's space even in peak season, especially toward the Rafailovići end.
