Montenegro
Where to stay with your family in Montenegro
Montenegro is an astonishingly varied country and you can travel from the lofty peaks of the Dinaric Alps to the picturesque beaches of the Adriatic coast within the same day. The accommodation varies accordingly, from traditional mountain ski hotels in the north, to luxurious beach escapes along the coast.
Although some of the newer hotels are a little lacking in character, there is an excellent choice of accommodation if you know where to look. In the countryside, you might stay at a rural agritourism property, some with rooms in beautifully restored old stone houses. In the mountains, options range from traditional ski hotels in locations such as Kolašin to homely wooden cabins with a rustic feel.
Our preference is generally for smaller family run properties with a friendly welcome and beautiful views, then perhaps a more classic hotel on the coast. However, we have an extensive knowledge of all the best properties and will be able to advise you accordingly.
Family-friendly hotels in Montenegro
Here are a few examples of the hotels our families love to stay in Montenegro.
Bianca Resort, Kolašin
The Bianca Resort is a traditional ski hotel, offering a cosy chalet interior, huge indoor pool and picturesque forest surroundings that are the perfect for outdoor adventures. The suites are great for families, and the hearty breakfasts will set everyone up for a day out hiking.
Peaks View Chalets, Zabljak
A Stubborn Mule favourite, these A frame chalets have fireplaces, hot tubs and jaw dropping Durmitor views (with superb stargazing after dark). The outdoor space, kitchens, easy access to hikes and free use of bikes make them perfect for active families. The Black Lake is just a few km away, if you can tear yourselves away from the firepits and BBQs!
Rustic hideaway, Lake Skadar
This accommodation near Lake Skadar has traditional Montenegrin charm with modern comforts, a pool, jacuzzi and sauna, plus garden space to roam. After an active day kayaking or hiking at the lake, sit back and savour a delicious home cooked meal, with produce freshly picked in the kitchen garden.
Lazure Hotel, Herceg Novi
After your adventures, you’ll be ready for a more polished seaside escape. The Lazure is part 18th-century stone landmark, part sleek modern retreat, and is perfectly positioned right on the edge of Kotor Bay. With marina views, pools, and even a spa with hammam and saunas, this is our top Stubborn Mule pick for some beach R&R.
Why book with Stubborn Mule?
At Stubborn Mule, we know that every family is different. That’s why we don’t squeeze you into the same one or two hotels. During our initial conversation, we’ll discuss what works for you and then suggest accommodation options accordingly. We’ve got our favourites, of course, but we use our years of experience to recommend places that will truly suit your family.
