About
Sveti Nikola Island, also locally known as 'Hawaii', is the largest island in Montenegro. Located in the Adriatic Sea, across from the town of Budva, it is known for its picturesque landscape, beaches, and diverse wildlife
Insider Tips
The island is just two kilometers long, but it’s got a surprising amount to explore. Beaches dominate the northwest corner of the island, while wild deer and other animals populate the interior. There are hiking trails, and the southern edge of the island is a popular spot for sunset
Access to the island is via boat, with regular services from the shores of Old Town Budva (every 15-20 minutes). Be sure to save your return ticket and board the ship of the same company. Return trip usually costs €5 per person. Private boat drivers can take you to quieter beaches along the island’s southern coast
