UTJEHA
UVALA MASLINA (Olive Bay)
Utjeha is located between Ulcinj (12 km away) and Bar (10 km away). It is famous for its very clear sea water which is the lightest shade of turquoise. There are two beaches in Utjeha – the big beach (Utjeha or Uvala maslina) and the small beach. The big beach of Utjeha occupies 5250 m2 with an area of 185 m in length and 25 m in width. It is a stone beach characterized by sea smoothed pebbles. Behind the beach is a beautiful olive grove that is over a thousand years old that embellishes the entire ambiance. This beach has earned the Blue Flag honour in recognition of its high cleanliness standard and the pristineness of its water. The beach has all the necessary amenities (newsstand, souvenir shops, showers, beach umbrellas, deck chairs, catering facilities, marina, camping sites). In Utjeha there are several shops, a tourist centre and two campsites as well as bungalows that can be rented in an olive grove. Nature is magnificent from May to October with lush greenery, flowers and fruits. The water temperature depends on the season, but it is generally calm and optimally warm. Utjeha is known as a place with lots of sunny days, extremely favourable climate and healthy air (because the air is filtered through the greenery of the environment) which is full of iodine. It is the perfect place for a family vacation. The climate is Mediterranean so the whole region is rich in olives, figs, lemons, kiwis and vineyards.
On the main beach there are the following complexes: The Rocky Beach Complex (swimming pools, beach umbrellas, deck chairs at the pool and on the beach, cafe, restaurant, pizzeria, grill), Paradiso (cafe, restaurant, beach bar, beach umbrellas and deck chairs),and the Utjeha restaurant. On the beach you can rent pedal boats. In season there is a small boat that rides every hour. With the small boat “Brodić” you can take an excursion to Old Ulcinj with a swimming break and to Dobre vode (Veliki pijesak beach) and back. As for the nightlife, there is regular live music, while celebrities often visit the mentioned complexes.
Besides by car, rail or boat, you can visit Montenegro by plane. There are two airports, Tivat and Podgorica. The boat ports are Bar and Tivat.

Please take your medications with you, because the nearest pharmacy is in Bar! There are a few stores, but the prices in them may vary! If you are traveling with a family, make sure to go to supermarkets in Bar or Ulcinj and buy everything you need there, especially drinking water!
