The Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort brought the Hyatt Regency brand to Montenegro when it opened in 2023, taking over and expanding a former spa resort on the shore of the bay a short drive from Kotor. It is a proper resort, with around 205 rooms, two outdoor pools and an indoor pool, an extensive spa with a fitness centre and space for yoga and pilates, and private waterfront access for swimming. Restaurants include the à la carte Lighthouse, the Blue Restaurant and the Hedonist rooftop, plus bars. Rooms look out over the water or the gardens, and the mountains rise on every side. It suits travellers who want to relax by the water between day trips rather than sleep inside a historic town.
Living in it: days split easily between the pools and the bay, with Kotor, Perast and Tivat all reachable by taxi or car, and Tivat Airport nearby. The spa and indoor pool make it a decent off-season choice.
Trade-offs: you will need taxis or a car for the Old Town and the bay towns, and resort dining adds up. Check which facilities are open out of season.
