Dubrovnik to Budva and Sveti Stefan: Private day trip

Known to rival Miami for its exuberant nightlife, the people of Budva know how to let loose. After you admire the hundreds of people lounging on the beach and partaking in various watersports, be sure to wander to the Venetian built stone walls. Meander under the stoned archways that covers much of the Old Town, known to the locals as "Stari Grad". Budva's Stari Grad lies on a small peninsula with narrow windy streets that slyly reveal it's age. Settled since the 5th century BC, Budva's sandy colored buildings delivers its exquisite charm with its most popular attractions: the tomb of writer Stjepan Ljubisa, the Santa Maria in Punta, the Citadel, and the ruins of a Roman-era necropolis.

Formerly an island reserved as a playground for the rich and famous, Aman Resorts acquired Sveti Stefan and built a narrow attachment to the rest of the township of Sveti Stefan. While it is an exclusive resort, visitors come just for the sight of the island's timeless stone villas backed by dramatic mountains. While you can view the island while relaxing on the public beach or walking through the nearby park, many opt to relish the breathtaking views of the Budva Riviera while dining at one of the seaside restaurants like the Olive Restaurant, where you can tuck into some tomato-based fish chowder with a clear view of the islet. For those desperate to set foot on the isle, it is possible to do so by booking a reservation at the restaurant, or taking a guided tour at 11:00 or 14:00.
