The House on Lustica Bay Peninsula

Lustica House
Located on the northern tip of Lustica Bay Peninsula, the house commands uninterrupted views of the Adriatic and Lastavica Island, which accommodates the ruined fort of Mamula. 2 minutes in the car (or an energetic walk) brings you down to the beaches of Miriste and Zanjice. Even though the two beaches adjoin, they are quite different in their view and appearance, as each sits in its own bay. A small selection of restaurants serves both well. For a treat, you really should visit the Ribarsko Selo restaurant. Almara beach and the beach club are located at Oblatno, a 10-minute drive, well worth a visit.

The Coast
The real reason we keep coming back to Montenegro is the coastline. We have run out of words to explain it to friends and family; it is simply idyllic. Our favourite area is the peninsula of Lustica.

Lustica Peninsula is at the entrance of the bay of Kotor and effectively separates Tivat Bay from the Adriatic.

The Peninsula is conveniently located between Dubrovnik (90 minutes by car) and Tivat (20 minutes by car). It has 35km of coast, is surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, and is largely undeveloped. Olive groves and dense pine woods are plentiful, although many are uncultivated and overgrown. This area has a vibrant cultural heritage embodied by twenty churches. Once an isolated community, farms and smallholders produce their cheese, prosciutto, wine and rakija.

Beaches
The two nearest are Zanjice and Mirista. Even though the two beaches adjoin, they are quite different in their view and appearance, as each sits in its bay.

We often go to the beach at Mirista. There is a small beach area, but the remaining space is made up of various platforms where you can hire loungers and umbrellas. They are all served by an excellent restaurant and bar.

The beach of Zanjice is more significant and more extensive. Although pebbly, it is still awesome. An excellent fish restaurant called Ribarsko Selo sits on the small headland between the two beaches.

Almara beach is located at Oblatno, a 10 minutes drive away and well worth a visit. Visit the new and chic Almara Beach Club.
