On the Bar Riviera, where the deep blue of the Adriatic meets Mediterranean vegetation and the contours of the Rumija mountains, Iberostar Selection Montenegro opens the door to a stay where the landscape is always present. Set right by the sea and with direct access to a private beach washed by crystal-clear waters, this resort stands as the first 5-star property in the area and an especially appealing starting point for discovering Montenegro. The old town of Bar is just 8 km away, while Budva is about a 40-minute drive away, and Podgorica Airport can be reached in approximately 45 minutes.
A sense of retreat is reinforced by the hotel’s very layout: villas set among pine trees, open views of the sea, and a small jetty for boats arriving by water. Everything contributes to a way of experiencing the Adriatic coast at an unhurried pace, surrounded by nature, light, and a calm atmosphere.
The resort will feature 292 sea-view suites and villas, designed to offer space, comfort, and a constant connection with the surroundings. The suites in the main building open onto the landscape with spacious terraces and panoramic views of the Adriatic, while the villas, tucked among the pine trees, offer a more intimate way to experience the stay. Some categories will include a private garden, an outdoor hot tub on the terrace, or a private pool.
The offering includes Junior Suites, Premium Terrace Suites, Junior Suite Villas with private garden, Sea Front access or Swim Up pool, as well as Presidential Villas with a private pool and room for up to 8 guests.
The resort’s dining concept brings together 8 restaurants and bars that combine local tradition with international flavours. The Lumen buffet features local produce and live cooking, while Emilia draws inspiration from traditional Italian cuisine, and Salt & Cut focuses on meats, local fish, and seasonal vegetables.
The experience is complemented by spaces such as alMar Beach Bar, the setting for the Sunset Ritual facing the Adriatic, Star Café, and the Sotto Zero ice cream parlour. A concept that follows the rhythm of the resort and strengthens the connection with the landscape.
Did you know? Emilia is inspired by the idea of a grandmother’s home, turning Italian cuisine into a warm, evocative experience where sharing the table is an essential part of the journey.
The resort features indoor and outdoor heated pools, as well as a pool specifically for children. All of this is set within a seafront environment where relaxation takes many forms, from open-air swims to quiet moments in indoor spaces.
The wellbeing offering is completed by a Spa & Wellness area with views of the Adriatic, designed to accompany the calm rhythm of the stay and strengthen the connection between rest, landscape, and personal care.
Did you know? The spa at Iberostar Selection Montenegro, covering 3,700 m² and overlooking the Adriatic, is among the largest in the country.
The family dimension also plays an important role within the resort. Star Camp offers activities tailored to all ages, while the children’s pool and shared spaces allow guests to experience the hotel through a natural balance of rest, play, and time together.
The villas set among pine trees, the proximity to the beach, and the spacious layout all reinforce the idea of a stay designed for both couples and families, always with the Adriatic landscape as a backdrop.

Beyond the resort, Montenegro unfolds as a destination where nature, history, and culture coexist within short distances. From the old town of Bar to Budva, the Bay of Kotor, Perast, or Sveti Stefan, the country brings together medieval towns, rugged coastline, and places full of character. Inland, Lake Skadar and Durmitor National Park further shape this image of Montenegro as a compact, diverse destination full of contrasts.
Did you know? Just 8 km from the resort lies the old town of Bar, and nearby grows an olive tree around 2,000 years old that symbolises the local olive oil tradition, known as the region’s “liquid gold”, a reference that helps better understand the relationship between landscape, culture, and production in this part of the Adriatic.
At Iberostar Selection Montenegro, a sustainable approach is naturally integrated into the resort experience.
In line with Iberostar’s Wave of Change movement, this commitment extends to the resort’s culinary philosophy, where a strong connection to local ingredients and Mediterranean traditions helps shape an authentic dining experience. Sustainability is woven into every stay in a way that reflects the destination itself, supporting the coastal environment, local biodiversity, and the people who produce its distinctive flavours.
Did you know? The resort’s dining concept includes responsible consumption of fish and seafood, as well as vegan options, as part of a more environmentally respectful approach to holidays and local biodiversity.
