The main advantages of this class of property are obvious:

• Service: 24-hour concierge, security, and a management company that handles all maintenance (from cleaning to rentals).
• Location: Close proximity to yacht marinas (Porto Montenegro, Portonovi) or secluded but prestigious coastal areas (Dukley, Luštica Bay).
• Construction Quality: Use of expensive, environmentally friendly materials, thoughtful layouts, smart home systems, and panoramic glazing.

1. Flagship Projects and Premium Locations

The premium apartment market in Montenegro is clearly associated with several iconic projects and locations that are magnets for international investors and high-budget buyers.

1.1. Tivat and the Bay of Kotor

• Porto Montenegro: A symbol of Adriatic luxury. Porto Montenegro marina apartments offer more than just housing, but an integrated lifestyle with access to a yacht club (PMYC), boutiques of world-renowned brands, and five-star service. These properties enjoy exceptional liquidity.
• Portonovi (Herceg Novi): A new ultra-luxury resort with One&Only services. Apartments here offer an investment in private services, wellness infrastructure, and exclusive seclusion on the coast of the Bay of Kotor.

1.2. Budva Riviera

Budva offers a dynamic combination of beach relaxation and investment benefits:

• Dukley Residences and Dukley Gardens: These gated residences offer apartments with hotel services on the Zavala Peninsula. Owners enjoy access to private beaches, a concierge service, and high rental income potential.
• Tre Canne and new complexes: Apartments in modern high-rise buildings in Budva (such as Tre Canne) are prized for their central location, panoramic sea views, and easy access to city amenities.

1.3. Luštica Bay

Luštica Bay is a large-scale, under-construction "city within a city" focused on sustainability and high quality of life. The premium segment here includes beachfront apartments in coastal villages and exclusive residences adjacent to Montenegro's only golf course (The Peaks). It's an ideal choice for those seeking a modern, fully managed environment.

Further in this article, you will learn about the factors that influence the price of properties and their investment potential.

3. Factors determining the price of premium apartments

The price of premium apartments in Montenegro is determined by a complex set of characteristics, where the price per square meter is directly proportional to the exclusivity and quality of services provided. Understanding these factors is critical to assessing the true value of the asset.

3.1. View and waterfront

The most significant pricing factor is location:

• A seafront or marina location is a scarce resource, automatically placing a property in the premium category.
• A panoramic view of the Bay of Kotor or the open sea can increase the price of an apartment by 20-30% compared to a similar apartment without a view. Buyers are willing to pay a premium for an unobstructed horizon.

3.2. Infrastructure

The difference between premium and standard apartments is the quality of life the complex provides:

• Service and Security: 24/7 concierge service, professional security, and video surveillance.
• Comfort: Access to gated infrastructure, including a private beach, spa area, several swimming pools (including infinity pools), and, of course, secure underground parking. These amenities guarantee the owner a carefree lifestyle.

3.3. Finishes and Technology

The property's interior meets high international standards:

• Technology: Integrated Smart Home system, allowing remote control of climate control, lighting, and security.
• Finish: Natural stone, fine wood, and world-class plumbing and furniture (Villeroy & Boch, Miele, Poliform) are all included in the price and confirm the apartment's status.

3.4. Price Comparison per sq. m in Key Luxury Locations and Pricing Factors

• Porto Montenegro (Tivat) - €6,500–€12,000+/sq. m: Yacht service, marina, elite PMYC Yacht Club
• Dukley Gardens (Budva) - €5,500–€9,000+/sq. m: Private beach, hotel management
• Luštica Bay - €4,000–€7,500+/sq. m: Eco-friendly, golf resort, new infrastructure
• Dobrota/Perast - €4,500–€7,000+/sq. m: Historical value, privacy, views of the Bay of Kotor

Prices may vary depending on the view, floor, and level of finish.

4. Investment Potential and Profitability of Premium Apartments

Purchasing premium apartments in Montenegro is not only a matter of personal comfort but also a strategically advantageous investment decision. The luxury segment demonstrates high stability and significant growth potential.

4.1. Rental Profitability: Gross Yield Calculation

Premium apartments are designed to generate high income, especially during the tourist season:

• Short-Term Rentals: Unlike standard housing, premium properties are sought after by an affluent audience. Gross Yield calculations for short-term rentals during the high season (June–September) often reach 6–8% per annum.
• High Season: Properties in marina resorts (Porto Montenegro, Portonovi) and gated communities (Dukley) can generate weekly income equivalent to a month's rent in the mid-range segment, significantly increasing overall annual returns.

4.2. Management Programs

Investors can completely eliminate operational concerns by entrusting their property to professional management. Many of the top projects in 2025 offer management programs from international hotel operators. This allows owners to receive a guaranteed income (a fixed percentage, typically 4-6% of the property's value) without the hassle of finding tenants, cleaning, or registration. This is an ideal option for non-residents seeking passive income in euros with minimal effort and the guarantee of a high standard of maintenance for their property.

4.3. Liquidity: Why Premium Properties Grow and Sell Faster

Premium is the most protected market segment:

• Growth Potential: Premium properties appreciate faster in value because they are located in sought-after locations (waterfront, with panoramic views) and are linked to international price trends. Montenegro's growing prestige as a yachting hub directly impacts the capitalization of these assets.
• Ease of Sale: Premium properties are easier to sell. The luxury real estate buyer base is more stable and less sensitive to local economic fluctuations. Legal clarity and a full range of services make these properties ready for immediate use or rental.

5. Legal Aspects and Residence Permits: Securing Your Investment

Purchasing premium apartments in Montenegro is not only a financial decision but also a legal one, directly related to the possibility of legalization in the country.

5.1. Residence Permit in Montenegro through Real Estate Purchase

Any purchased residential property in Montenegro, including premium apartments, entitles you to a residence permit in Montenegro through real estate purchase (privremeni boravak). This is one of the simplest and most reliable grounds for relocation. Premium apartments are typically located in legally clear new buildings, which expedites the process of property registration and, consequently, obtaining residency status for the owner and their family.

5.2. Tax Obligations

• Property Transfer Tax (3%): This one-time tax is levied on purchases on the secondary market. However, if you purchase a new apartment from a developer who is a VAT payer, you are exempt from this 3% tax, as VAT is already included in the price.
• Annual property taxes (rates range from 0.25% to 1.0%) depend on the municipality and cadastral value. Since premium apartments are located in prestigious locations, their cadastral value, and therefore the annual tax, may be higher.

5.3. Transaction Details in Gated Complexes

• Complex Charter: When purchasing in gated complexes (e.g., Dukley, Portonovi), the buyer undertakes to comply with the internal charter and pay a monthly maintenance fee. This must be clearly stated in the contract.
• Management Agreements: When purchasing an apartment with a guaranteed rental program (hotel service), a management agreement is also signed along with the purchase and sale agreement. This agreement regulates the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the rental of the property and income distribution. Our lawyers carefully review these documents to ensure your interests are protected.

The premium apartment market in Montenegro is at its peak, and now is the best time to buy. The market's competitive advantages are clear: price stability linked to the euro; low taxation (9% corporate tax); an easy path to residency; and, most importantly, limited supply in key luxury locations (Porto Montenegro, Dukley). Montenegro's accession to the EU in the foreseeable future guarantees further capital growth and demand, especially for the highest quality, serviced properties.

Don't delay your decision. The most liquid lots and apartments with the best views in flagship projects are the first to sell.
