Luxury duplex in front of the sea Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted Luxury duplex in front of the sea in Budva, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a three-star property with such a bold name. But you know what? Sometimes the simplest descriptions are the most accurate. This place literally sits right in front of the water in Rafailovići — and I mean right there, where you can practically feel the sea spray from your window. The duplex setup gives you way more space than your typical hotel room, which is actually pretty refreshing when you’re used to cramped accommodations along the Montenegrin coast.

The Space and Layout

The duplex design is what really sets this place apart from other beachfront stays I’ve experienced. You get two levels to spread out, which feels almost like having your own little beach house rather than just another hotel booking. The layout works well for couples — there’s enough space that you’re not constantly bumping into each other, but it’s cozy enough to feel intimate. I noticed the furnishing is pretty straightforward, nothing fancy, but everything you actually need is there. The windows face the sea directly, so you wake up to that view every morning without having to crane your neck or squint past other buildings.

Location and Beach Access

Rafailovići sits between Budva and Bečići, and honestly, it’s one of those spots that feels less touristy than the main Budva beaches but still gives you easy access to everything. The beach here is pebbly rather than sandy — typical for this stretch of coast — but the water is incredibly clear. You can walk to several decent restaurants along the waterfront, and there’s a parking situation that actually works, which isn’t always guaranteed in this area. The location gets high marks from recent guests for good reason; you’re close enough to Budva’s nightlife if you want it, but far enough away to actually get some sleep.

What Works for Couples

I can see why couples rate this place so highly for romantic getaways. The sea-facing position means you get those sunset views that look great in photos, but more importantly, the whole setup feels private and secluded. The duplex layout gives you options — you can hang out upstairs or downstairs depending on your mood, and there’s something nice about having that extra space when you’re traveling together. The sound of the waves is constant but not overwhelming, sort of like natural white noise that helps you actually relax.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a five-star resort with a fancy spa or elaborate breakfast spread, but it delivers exactly what it promises. The location really is top-notch — you’re getting prime beachfront access without paying resort prices. The duplex setup gives you more room to breathe than typical accommodations, and that direct sea view never gets old. For couples looking for a straightforward beach escape along the Budva Riviera, this place hits the sweet spot between location, space, and value. Just don’t expect fancy amenities; expect a comfortable base right on one of Montenegro’s prettier stretches of coastline.

Reviews of Luxury duplex in front of the sea

  • Николай from Ukraine – 21 August 2024 (8/10)

    Понравилось почти все

    What could be improved: Не было микроволновой печи
    Трубка слива конденсата (воды) с кондиционера была установлена не совсем корректно и на балконе всегда было много воды. Баклажка набиралась за 40 минут и утром все было в воде.
    А ВСЕ ОСТАЛЬНОЕ БЫЛО ПРОСТО СУПЕР КЛАСС

  • Marianna from Russia – 8 August 2024 (8/10)

    I had a wonderful stay at these apartments! The newly renovated space was impressive and added a fresh, modern touch to the overall experience. The close proximity to the beach made it incredibly convenient to enjoy the seaside. The apartment was well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay for 4 people. Although it was a bit difficult to find the apartments initially, the hosts were quick to answer our call and greeted us promptly. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend staying here!

  • Blasko from Germany – 8 August 2024 (3/10)

  • Christos from Greece – 6 August 2024 (3/10)

    It was located in a central location, and it was new and renovated.

    What could be improved: We booked the room for 5 people and there were pillows for 4. The hot water wasn’t enough for all of us to have shower, and 2 of us showered in cold water. The shower was leaking water everywhere making the bathroom actually a pool. One towel was dirty. Didn’t have shampoo. The tv didn’t work.
