Answers to the most popular travel questions
Rafailovici is a quieter seaside base near Budva, known for its easy promenade vibe and beach access. The main spot is Rafailovići Beach, and Kamenovo Beach is an easy walk away.
For swimming, June–September is the main season. May and October in Rafailovici are calmer – great for walks and day trips with fewer crowds.
Plan 3-5 days for a simple beach break. If you want to combine Rafailovici with coastal excursions, 7-10 days is more comfortable.

Rafailovici is easy on foot for the beach and restaurants, and the promenade connects you toward Becici. For quick hops to Budva, use buses or taxis – Public Transport in Montenegro: Is It Convenient to Travel Without a Car? helps with planning.
Stay close to Rafailovići Beach if you want maximum convenience and quieter nights. For more nightlife and dining variety, base in Budva, while big beachfront hotels are easier in Becici.
For everyday swimming, use Rafailovići Beach. For a more tucked-away feel, walk to Kamenovo Beach, and for scenic coves head toward Sveti Stefan and Queen’s Beach.

Not necessarily – for the beach and promenade life, you can skip it. If you plan lots of day trips, a car helps, but summer parking near the waterfront fills fast – see Parking in Montenegro: Where You Can Leave Your Car and How Much It Costs.
Prices rise in peak summer, especially for seafront stays, so booking early matters. Rafailovici can feel better value than central Budva if you choose apartments over beachfront hotels.
Wi-Fi is common in accommodation and cafés, but mobile data is useful for maps and tickets. For an easy setup, check eSIM Montenegro, and for VPN options see VPN for Montenegro.
Go to Budva for Budva Old Town and Mogren Beaches, or visit Sveti Stefan and Sveti Stefan Islet. For iconic views, choose Kotor and Perast with Our Lady of the Rocks, or head to Virpazar for Lake Skadar.
