Ulcinj-Bar Hotels and Resorts
A Timeless Place with a name from each millenia - Ulcinj, Ulqin, Ulqini, Dulcigno
Ulcinj offers various types of hotels and holiday rental accommodations, from modern, large and luxury facilities, to historic apartments and rooms within private accommodation facilities. Visitors are recommended to book accommodations in advance of arrival, via this website, tourist agencies, or directly with hotels. This will help assure a quality stay in Ulcinj. The Ulcinj region is on a first wave of major re-investment and redevelopment in quality tourist accomodations. The Government of Montenegro's privatization program has placed major lodging assets in the hands of private investors, intent on transforming these facilities.
Hotel Mediteran Resort (Ulcinj, Montenegro (Crna Gora)_ -- The Hotel Mediteran Resort in Ulcinj, is one of the first Montenegrin resort hotels to begin renovation and redevelopment following government privatization efforts since achieving nationhood. The resort's owner has renovated the operated portion of its existing guestrooms, and is planning development of a new guestroom tower and central resort amenities complex.
Other Ulcinj-Bar Lodging -- We recommend that travelers consider the the fine full-service hotel options in the Ulcinj-Bar region, including:
Hotel Dolcino
Hotel Lido
Hotel Olympic
Hotel Albatros
These larger hotels are licensed, regulated, and inspected on a regular basis by the Montenegrin government, including all health, sanitary, and kitchen operating standards.
About Ulcinj's Private Accomodations -- Due Care is Advised -- Visitors wishing to take the private accommodation option are recommended to seek referrals from prior visitors who have stayed in the Ulcinj-Bar area. Some visitors to Ulcinj are attracted to the private limited-service accommodations that are available. Visitors should be aware that the full-service hotels in Ulcinj provide a higher level of service and comfort to visitors, than private accommodations. Private accommodations are also unregulated, and therefore not monitored by the government for safety, security, or cleanliness. Visitors staying in private accommodations (other than hotels) must register with the police station responsible for the area in which they are staying within 24 hours of arrival. Although enforcement of this regulation may be uneven given so many visitors to the region, failure to comply may result in a fine, incarceration, and/or expulsion. Persons who fail to register may face difficulties in departing the country. Visitors staying in hotels or tourist facilities are automatically registered with the police by the hotel.

Ulcinj-Bar South Coast History
The Ulcinj-Bar South Coast region of Montenegro traces its history to the prehistoric times of the Illyrians, a people of Indo-European origin. The scenic old walled town of Ulcinj, was founded in the 5th century BC by the Colchinians. Several centuries later the town was captured by the Romans and was afforded special priviledges and independent status under Roman law.
Ulcinj's beauty, location, and climate, has long been coveted by Adriatic region conquerors, and beyond. Justilian the Byzantine Emperor captured and fortified it, as did the Nemanjic's, the Balsic's, the Venetians and the Turks. Ulcinj's capture in 1183 by the Serbian ruler Stefan Nemanja, confirmed the city's role as one of the most important settlements on the coast.

Excursions in Montenegro's South Coast Region
The Ulcinj region is an exciting "base camp" for travel excursions in the immediate area, and throughout Montenegro.
Lake Skadar National Park -- This truly enormous lake and national treasure of Montenegro is located about seven kilometers from the Adriatic Sea coast. The lake is approximately 44 kilometers in length and is situated in both Montenegro and Albania.
Ada Bojana -- The Ada Bojana (Ada Buna) area of the Ulcinj coast is a popular destination with international travelers to Montenegrins, and perhaps most telling, among Montenegrins as well. This is due largely to the natural beauty of the area and the daily fresh fish catch served at Ada Bojana restaurants. Some of the mostscenic portions of Velika Plaza (Long Beach) are here in Ada Bojana, attracting a multitude of beach-goers on any given day.
Old Bar Fortress -- A historic spot of the town of Bar is the 9th Century Old Bar Fortress, also known as Stari Bar, now an open-air museum, situated on a 4-hectare hilltop just four kilometers from the sea.
Valdanos Bay -- a horsehoe-shaped natural water body, is situated about four miles to the north of Ulcinj's Old Town, between Mavrijen and Mendra. The bay's end point falls steeply and suddenly into the sea. The beach at Valdanos is single, composed of round stones 1 to 20 cm in diameter.
Valdanos Olive Groves -- According to Ulcinj tradition a man cannot be married until he has planted at least one olive tree. For centuries Ulcinj has been an active olive-growing region, giving Ulcinj a reputation for fine olive oils. Harvest time is a memorable experience for those than can partake due to the singing of the pickers.
Bird Watching at the Ulcinj Salt Works Factory -- This protected eco-system in Ulcinj is one of the world's top birdwatching locations, since Ulcinj and its surroundings are major resting points for over 200 bird species on their migration paths. During the winter months, more than 20,000 birds are typically nested here - a remarkable sight.
Bar Seaport -- Bar is a natural harbor and the main seaport of Montenegro, located at the foot of the Rumija mountain-mass. Bar Seaport is on the north edge of the Ulcinj coastal region. Bar is famous for being the summer home of Montenegrin Duke Nikola at the end of the 19th century.
