Parents of toddlers, more than anyone, understand how much difference good (or bad!) holiday accommodation can make. When you’re juggling specific needs and schedules to keep your little ones happy, choosing the right place is crucial. By presenting some of the best hotels in Budva for families with kids, we’ll try to help you with the task that can make all the difference.
First, let’s just say that Budva is arguably the best destination in Montenegro to visit with kids. Why? It offers pristine beaches, good medical and transportation infrastructure, and plenty of activities for families.
Luckily, Budva has no shortage of accommodation options for every type of traveler.
Booking.com is a great place to find the perfect stay. Here are the hotels we’ve shortlisted as the best for a family holiday, no matter the age of your children:
Poseidon Jaz – the best hotel in Budva for families with kids
Poseidon Jaz is ideal for parents who prefer a quieter holiday (think parents of babies and toddlers!). During the day, it’s lively and fun, but at night, all you hear is the soothing sound of waves.
Located about 3 km from Budva’s city center, you’ll need a taxi or rental car to get there—so you might not head out every evening.
The hotel is family-friendly, especially suited for parents with younger kids, though teens can also find things to do. Everything is clean, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant serves delicious food at affordable prices. There’s even a private beach with sunbeds, umbrellas, and storage for your inflatable water toys.
Hotel Aleksandar – indoor playroom for rainy days
For those who aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to city life, Hotel Aleksandar is a fantastic choice for the whole family, including both teenagers and toddlers.
Situated right next to the Slovenska Plaza resort (many people mistake it for part of Slovenska), it’s on the promenade by the sea, just a 5-minute walk from the city center. Teens will love the nearby amusement park and sports facilities, while younger children can enjoy the kid-friendly pool. It’s also the only hotel in Budva’s city center with an indoor playroom for kids. The downside? Some rooms may experience noise from the lively Budva nightlife, but noise regulations are improving every year.
Slovenska Plaza – a resort surrounded by the city
Slovenska Plaza is Budva’s signature hotel. Built in the 1970s, it’s a symbol of Yugoslavian architecture’s golden era. This large complex, designed in a Greek-Mediterranean style, consists of several two-story buildings connected by narrow, stone-paved streets—perfect for family bike rides or skating.
With two pools and the largest, lushest park in Budva filled with Mediterranean vegetation, it feels like a resort. The difference is that it’s open to the public, inviting everyone to stroll or do morning yoga in the park—reflecting the inclusive spirit of socialist urban design. Plus, it’s only a 5-minute walk from the city center, so you’re close to everything your family might need.
Avala Hotel – for families that love to be in the heart of the city
For families who love to combine a seaside holiday with urban charm, Avala Hotel is the best pick. Located just 20 meters from the Old Town walls, it’s also a great place to stay in April, May, September, and October when the weather can be unpredictable. Even if it’s not beach weather, you can still soak up the Mediterranean city vibe.
Avala sits on the coastline, between Mogren Beach and Ricardova Glava beach (also known as the Hill of Budva). Its standout feature is a large, round pool that stretches over the sea—a luxurious and unique experience for the whole family.
If you’re looking for more budget-friendly options, consider booking a private home or short-term rental. These rentals offer flexibility and are great for families, often featuring fully equipped kitchens—perfect if you have a baby older than 6 months. Plus, they usually offer more space, ideal for toddlers.
For larger groups or families traveling with friends, pool villas in the hills surrounding Budva can be surprisingly affordable when shared among several people.
