Fun Facts
Luštica Bay is set to become a 690-hectare resort — roughly double the size of New York’s Central Park and four times bigger than Monaco — all whilst blending seamlessly with its surroundings.
Luštica Bay’s upcoming golf course will join an elite group of under 10% of the world’s golf courses to have a sea view from every hole, either over the sparkling Adriatic Sea or the spectacular Boka Bay.
Only 10% of the land will be developed, creating a town that embraces the charm and feel of the traditional Montenegrin village but is powered by a future-forward vision.
The entire architectural design of Luštica Bay draws its inspiration from the rich heritage of the Mediterranean and the charming Montenegrin houses – every single facade is crafted from authentic local stone sourced right from the heart of this captivating destination.
Luštica Bay is home to four beaches out of Montenegro’s 112 and sits across a 6.9 km coastline out of the country’s total 294 km.
