In short: Hotel Adrović is an intimate, family-run boutique hotel set on a sun-drenched hillside overlooking the Adriatic Sea, just steps from the legendary fortified island of Sveti Stefan — a UNESCO-recognised cultural monument and one of the most photographed landmarks on the entire Montenegrin coast. The hotel delivers a full and unhurried hospitality experience, but it is the rooftop restaurant and bar — a glittering crown atop this already exceptional property — that truly sets it apart. The dual-level rooftop terrace feels like a Mediterranean garden suspended above the sea, framed by olive trees, soft lighting, and an unobstructed, cinematic outlook over the Adriatic and the legendary Sveti Stefan islet.
Food & Drinks: The kitchen at Hotel Adrović’s rooftop restaurant is guided by a simple, honest philosophy: honour the season, trust the sea, and let the finest local ingredients do the talking. The menu reads like a love letter to Mediterranean and Adriatic cuisine, beautifully composed without ever feeling overwrought. On the bar menu, the cocktail list balances Mediterranean spritz and aperitivo culture with original house creations - featuring locally infused spirits, Adriatic botanicals, and seasonal fruits. The wine list leans confidently into the Balkans, with excellent Montenegrin and Croatian labels alongside a curated selection of international bottles. Cold-pressed juices, aromatic coffees, and artisan beers round out an offering that transitions seamlessly from a sunrise breakfast to a late-night nightcap.
What we say: With a setting that feels exclusive yet genuinely welcoming, the rooftop at Hotel Adrović is equally suited for intimate evenings, quiet solo moments, or long, unhurried gatherings. It’s the kind of place where you arrive for a sunset drink and naturally stay for dinner, while enjoying the deeply personal hospitality and a backdrop that needs no filter.

Here you can enjoy prime Mediterranean cuisine, ranging from pizza and pasta to steaks and signature dishes, complemented with perfectly crafted cocktails and a fine selection of wine and sparkling.
What we say: Surrounded by stunning views over the Adriatic Sea, Cielo Rooftop mixes an upscale setting with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Time a sunset and you are in for a display out of the ordinary.

What we say: The dual experience at 504 Rooftop gives you two options: book nights at Hotel WOW or try to reserve one of the limited daytime spots available, to sip and dip under the Budva sun. Or hold out until the sun starts to set, when the rooftop is open to all for DJ vibes, fine drinks and fantastic views over Old Town and the Adriatic Seas.

In short: Set just across the sea shore, in the heart of Tivat, the contemporary and exceptional La Fleur Boutique Hotel offers a day to night rooftop setting, where rooftop restaurant meets rooftop lounge.

In short: Perched above the most picturesque beaches of Budva Bay, the luxurious and amazing ĀNANTI Resort, Residences & Beach Club comes with plenty of world-class amenities, including the impressive Panorama Lounge Restaurant & Bar.
