Avanti Hotel and Spa is a mid-range hotel in the Budva area, with a spa as part of its offer. It is a practical choice for travellers who want to be in or close to the town itself rather than in one of the outlying resort districts, with the Old Town, the beaches and the town’s restaurants and bars within easy reach. Budva rewards a base like this because so much of what visitors come for is a short walk or taxi ride away: the Venetian walls, the Citadel, the promenade, boat departures and the lively evening scene. A spa is welcome after a day on the pebbles or a hot morning of sightseeing. Room styles, view options and the exact spa facilities differ, so check when you book and read the current details before you decide.
Staying here
Expect a modern or modernised hotel with a reception, a restaurant or breakfast room, comfortable rooms and a spa and wellness area. Mid-range hotels in Budva tend to be good value outside the summer peak and fill quickly in July and August, so it pays to compare room types.
Ask about balconies, noise levels and whether a room faces the street, the hillside or the sea, because Budva nights can be lively in high season. Check what the breakfast includes, whether the spa is free for guests or charged separately, and what the cancellation rules are.
Location
Budva is the heart of the Montenegrin Riviera, with the walled Old Town on a small peninsula, the Citadel above the water and the town beach and Mogren beach on either side. From a hotel in the town you can walk to the lanes, squares and churches inside the walls, and to the waterfront restaurants where grilled fish, octopus salad and local wines are the usual orders. Jaz beach, Bečići and Sveti Stefan are reachable by taxi, bus or a rental car, and boats to Sveti Nikola island and the nearby coves leave from the harbour area in season.
Trade-offs
Staying in town puts you close to the action, which also means summer crowds, late-night music and busy roads. Parking can be limited and sometimes costs extra, so if you are driving ask about it in advance. Some beach services and restaurants reduce hours or close from late autumn to spring, though the spa and a town base keep a stay pleasant in the quieter months. If you prefer long sandy stretches and resort-style space, a base in Bečići or at Jaz may feel more relaxed than the town centre.
Planning tips
For the best balance of weather and prices, aim for May, June, September or early October. Budva is a good launch point for day trips to the Bay of Kotor, Cetinje, Skadar Lake and the Ostrog monastery, either by tour or by car, and many operators collect guests from central hotels. Carry a little cash for small cafes and beach kiosks, bring comfortable shoes for the stone lanes and steps, and remember that Montenegro uses the euro. Check the current room and spa details when you book.
