Marina Village Residences at Luštica Bay

Marina Village occupies the seafront of Luštica Bay, on the Luštica Peninsula that faces the Bay of Kotor and Trašte Bay rather than the open coast. Tivat Airport is roughly 12 to 16 kilometres away, about 25 minutes by road. Podgorica Airport is a little over an hour, and Dubrovnik in Croatia is closer in distance but slower in practice, because the drive crosses an external border whose waiting times vary; allow an hour or more rather than the optimistic figures sometimes quoted. Kotor and Tivat town sit a short drive around the same bay system. The point of the location is that the water, the airport and the wider Boka region are all close, while the peninsula keeps the resort apart from the busier stretches of the coast.

Within the wider town, Marina Village is the established waterfront quarter, and it is the one part of Luštica Bay that is proven rather than projected. Its anchors are real and operating: a 115-berth marina with priority berthing for owners, four beaches including the Chedi beach and a family-friendly marina beach, a seaside promenade of restaurants, bars and small shops, and The Chedi Luštica Bay, a 110 to 111 room hotel that has run since 2018. This is what separates Marina Village from its siblings further up the peninsula. Centrale is the town centre around the Piazza, with the school and the lowest entry price. Horizon is the elevated, more secluded hillside with sea views and optional infinity pools. The Peaks is the golf neighbourhood wrapping the Gary Player course. Marina Village is the one with the harbour, the hotel and the existing community, and the Jasmin and Visterija residences are its final word.

The developer behind the whole town is Orascom Development Holding, which builds Marina Village through Luštica Development AD, a joint venture that is 90 percent Orascom and 10 percent the Government of Montenegro. Orascom is a long-standing builder of integrated towns rather than single buildings: it created El Gouna, the resort town on Egypt's Red Sea coast, and Andermatt, the alpine resort in Switzerland, and the company was incorporated in 2008. That record is the reason a buyer can read Marina Village as a place that was always meant to be lived in year round, with its own hotel, marina and management in place, rather than a speculative block. The Chedi is operated by GHM and is a member of Leading Hotels of the World, which sets the service standard the residential quarter sits alongside.

Daily life in Marina Village runs off the water and the promenade. The marina sits at the centre, with the beaches and sea lounges to either side and the hotel, its spa and outdoor pools at the waterfront. Owners get priority berthing, security and surveillance around the clock, and an in-house team that manages property and, for those who want it, a rental pool. The apartments themselves are open-plan, with terraces facing the sea or the marina, neutral interiors, central air conditioning, porcelain floors and fitted kitchens; upgrade options run to underfloor heating, oak flooring and quartz counters, and the penthouses add floor-to-ceiling glazing onto private terraces. The Gary Player eighteen-hole golf course is being built on the wider masterplan and is shared resort infrastructure rather than part of this quarter. The honest counterweight is that demand here is summer-weighted and Montenegro's resale market is comparatively shallow, so Marina Village suits an owner who wants the place itself, with letting as a secondary benefit rather than an assured income.
