'With its sandy beach, royal palace and soaring mountain backdrop, Milocer captures the essence of magical Montenegro.'
If you like your beach served up with magnificent forested mountains, tranquil resorts and a former royal palace, you're incredibly fussy. But you're also in luck. Milocer ticks everything on your holiday wishlist and sneaks a few extras too. On the mid-Montenegrin coast facing the island hotel of Sveti Stefan, this unrushed little place sandwiches itself between emerald Adriatic waters and soaring mountains. At its heart is a delectable, long crescent of sandy beach. Complete with a tempting selection of watersports for those energetic moments, it's a great place to laze, swim and enjoy the dramatic views. Peer behind you for instance and you'll spot the royal residence, currently the summer home of Montenegro's president. Still awakening to tourists, the area offers lots of little surprises. Just a stroll away – through one of the two gates in the palace's walls – you'll find Przno, a charming fishing village with a beach flanked by olive trees and fine seafood eateries and cafes. Through the second gateway, you'll come to Sveti Stefan, with more beaches and a tantalising choice of restaurants, grills and pizzerias to keep you fed and watered. If you're itching to discover more, nearby Budva is your place. Here, in its magical medieval walled town, you can shop till you drop before choosing a traditional restaurant to dine on fresh Montenegrin fish and hearty local wine. And if you're in party mood, why not linger longer? With its clubs and bars, Budva provides the perfect injection of fun into your otherwise peaceful Milocer holiday.
Built in 1934, the former royal residence is enclosed within a wall with 2 gates, one leading to Przno and the other to Sveti Stefan. Spanning 18 hectares, Milocer forest provides a stunning backdrop to the residence and an abundance of exotic trees, such as Lebanese cedar, tropical mimosa, Japanese medlar, cactus agave and pittosporum. The promenade at nearby Przno offers a selection of fine seafood restaurants, cafes and bars, and the attractive, fortified fishing village turned hotel of Sveti Stefan is also within walking distance.

Eating out
Options for eating out in Milocer itself are fairly limited, but there are restaurants and bars in Sveti Stefan. A street known as ul Slobode at the top of the steps leading up from the Sveti Stefan Hotel has several decent restaurants serving grills, seafood, pasta and pizza on large terraces with excellent views. For an even greater variety, head to the nearby town of Budva. The little beach at Przno has cafes, bars and some fine seafood restaurants, with fresh fish provided by Sveti Stefan's handful of surviving fishermen.
Nightlife
Milocer itself is a tranquil, relaxed place. The main evening entertainment is sitting out at a cafe or restaurant listening to quiet music in nearby Sveti Stefan or Przno. For exuberant nightlife, try nearby Budva, which has a large number of bars, clubs and discos.
Shopping
Although there are a few small shops catering for the basic needs of the local population and visitors, the best place for serious shopping is the nearby town of Budva, which has a range of markets, shops and gift shops, many of them open late.
Local information
Milocer offers a variety of watersports and local walks and nearby Sveti Stefan boasts a diving club, good deep sea fishing, boutiques and restaurants. But for more variety you may want to visit Budva, a historic walled town with numerous restaurants and shops open till late, and a more modern area with lively entertainment. Budva can be reached by road by taxi, but the water taxis are more fun, and run a fairly regular service. For those interested in history, the island of Sveti Stefan has three preserved churches, including St Stephen's. The western part of the island is reserved for hotel guests. Outdoor shows are staged during the summer.
