Centrale at Luštica Bay

Centrale stands on the Luštica Peninsula, the headland that closes the Bay of Kotor, around 12 kilometres from Tivat Airport, roughly a 25-minute drive. Podgorica Airport is about an hour and a quarter away, and Dubrovnik Airport in Croatia is around an hour by road, with the caveat that it sits across an EU external border, so the crossing time varies. Within the resort, the waterfront, the marina and the beaches at Marina Village are a short shuttle ride from the town centre, and the Gary Player golf course is within walking distance. Kotor Old Town and the wider Boka Bay, a UNESCO-listed landscape, lie nearby on the same bay system.

Within Luštica Bay's four neighbourhoods, Centrale plays the role of the town. Marina Village is the established waterfront heart, with the marina and The Chedi hotel and its final Jasmin and Visterija homes. The Peaks is the golf neighbourhood, wrapping the Gary Player course, and it carries the highest prices. Horizon is the elevated, most secluded hillside collection. Centrale is the part you live in for the everyday: the square, the shops, the school, the cafes, with apartments and penthouses rather than villas, and it holds the lowest price of entry into the resort. Heights, a residential collection within Centrale, sits at the boundary between the town centre and the golf course, so it offers urban-centre living a short walk from amenities while looking out toward the fairways.

Orascom Development Holding is the master developer, building through Luštica Development AD, the venture it holds with the Montenegrin state. Orascom is a long-standing builder of whole towns rather than single buildings: it was incorporated in 2008 and is the company behind El Gouna on Egypt's Red Sea and Andermatt in the Swiss Alps. That record matters here, because Centrale is not a standalone block but a town centre being delivered as part of a larger place, alongside two operating hotels, a working marina and beaches that have been open for years. The town centre's Piazza opening in 2023 is part of that same long, phased programme.

Daily life in Centrale is built around the Piazza and the streets off it. There are boutique shops and retail, restaurants and bars including Java Caffe and Luca, a school, and a medical facility, with sports courts and playgrounds for families. Homes are designed in a traditional Adriatic and Mediterranean idiom, low-rise in stone and terracotta, with contemporary interiors: open-plan living and dining, generous balconies, terraces or courtyard gardens, fitted kitchens and bathrooms, underfloor heating and air conditioning. Standard Centrale apartments are offered in Standard, Classic and Contemporary finish styles. Heights adds olive trees and lavender-lined paths on its hillside setting, and some of its homes have underground garages. Homeowners share the wider resort's beaches, via shuttle to Marina Village, and benefits such as security and hotel and spa discounts.
