Sailboat on Boka Bay near Tivat

For guests

A Tivat apartment that fits your actual trip

You do not have to open several listings and repeat the same message. Send one inquiry with your dates, group size and notes, and we check what is available and which apartment really makes sense for your stay.

From inquiry to arrival

  1. You send dates, group size and the basics of what you need

  2. We check which apartments are available for that period

  3. We suggest an option that fits the location, pace and budget you mentioned

  4. We confirm the price, rules, arrival time and key handover

  5. During the stay you have one contact if something comes up

What you get by writing to us

  • We pick the suggestion around your needs — not a list of everything available, but the option that makes sense for you, with the reasons spelled out.
  • A clear reply on availability, price, house rules and the next step before you take the conversation further.
  • Area guidance inside Tivat: the centre and Pine, Porto Montenegro, Seljanovo, Donja Lastva or beaches outside the centre do not suit the same kind of guest.
  • One contact before arrival and during the stay, instead of several disconnected messages in different places.
  • You do not repeat dates, group size and special notes for every apartment separately.
  • If we do not have a good option for your dates, we say so directly instead of pushing any available listing.

Useful before you arrive in Tivat

Getting to Tivat

The airport is about four kilometres from the centre — around ten minutes by taxi — which makes Tivat the easiest way into Boka Bay. Driving from the Herceg Novi side, the Kamenari–Lepetane ferry shortens the trip: the crossing itself takes five to ten minutes, with frequent daytime departures. Arrival time and key handover are agreed in advance, especially for evening flights.

The centre, Pine and Porto Montenegro

The centre and Pine promenade suit guests who want coffee, restaurants, shops and evening walks without a car. Porto Montenegro works well for short stays, the marina, events and a more urban waterfront pace. In summer it is lively, so keep that in mind if complete quiet matters.

Seljanovo and Donja Lastva

Seljanovo is close to the sea and Porto Montenegro, but often calmer for families and longer stays. Donja Lastva has a slower waterfront rhythm, sea walks and less of a feeling that you are always in the centre.

Beaches around Tivat

Belane and the Pine waterfront are practical when you do not want to drive. Sandy Kalardovo next to the Solila reserve is shallow and calmer, while Plavi Horizonti on Luštica — fine sand and a long shallow stretching far into the sea — is worth the short drive. Oblatno cove is the pick for a sun-lounger and beach-bar day.

When it is not a beach day

The Naval Heritage Collection in Porto Montenegro keeps a real submarine you can step inside. Vrmac hill trails look over both sides of Boka, Solila is a quiet walk among birdlife, and Gornja Lastva is an old olive-growing village with a lookout. Kotor and Perast are half an hour away — an easy half-day trip.

Season and the sea

July and August are the peak, when the sea is warmest and the town liveliest. Swimming usually runs from June to early October, while May, June and September are calmer and pleasant for walks and trips — many guests enjoy Tivat most exactly then.

Stay registration and residence tax

In Montenegro, a stay is registered within 24 hours of arrival. Who handles the registration, which documents are needed and whether the residence tax is paid separately are confirmed before booking.

What to ask before confirming

Before agreeing, it is worth checking parking, floor, lift, pets, a baby cot, check-in time and how far the apartment really is from the place you are coming for. It is better to ask early than fix the plan on arrival day.

Tell us what you need for the stay

A few lines about what matters to you is enough — quiet, being near the sea, parking, a first visit to Tivat — and the form walks you through the rest. We come back with a concrete suggestion, not a list of everything that exists.

Accommodation inquiry

Share your dates, group size and what matters most about the location or apartment. The ORTUS team checks availability and price before replying.

Here from the other side — as an owner?

If you have an apartment that is rented out, or one being prepared, ORTUS can take on the agreed part of the work.
