Car hire in Rafailovići is the smart way to explore a small fishing village on the southern side of the Budva Riviera, with its own marina and one of the best seafront dining spots on the coast. The main Bečići beach is a 200-metre walk away; Budva Old Town is a 30-minute stroll along the waterfront through the Zavala pedestrian tunnel.
Most guests arrive looking for the quieter way into the Budva Riviera. Everything you need is here, without the round-the-clock seafront traffic of Budva itself.
Without a car, the village is perfect for staying local: the beach, dinner on the seafront, or a boat trip to Sveti Stefan. For day trips to Kotor, Lovćen, Lake Skadar or Albania, a car is essential. The narrow streets and steep hillside make parking tricky, so accommodation with its own car park costs more but removes most of the daily hassle.
What sets Rafailovići apart
The 220 m beach plus Bečići next door
Rafailovići's own beach runs 220 metres of fine pebbles and stays quiet. Two minutes' walk away is the long Bečići beach — awarded in 1936 the title of most beautiful natural beach in Europe. As a base it's perfect: no village-side bustle, yet the full beach potential of the Riviera is within easy reach.
First-time visitors usually work it out after the first morning: swim at Bečići, then walk back to Rafailovići for dinner. The rented car stays parked at the apartment all day.
A marina and boats to Sveti Stefan
The small but functional marina accommodates private yachts and speedboats. In summer, scheduled passenger boats depart every 30 minutes for Sveti Stefan, Queens Beach and Budva. A handy alternative to the car for short beach days.
A dining reputation
Rafailovići holds its own as a dining destination on the southern Riviera. Tri Ribara ("Three Fishermen") on the seafront is a fresh-fish institution, and Trattoria Tulip serves refined Mediterranean cooking. Tables are usually booked a day or two ahead in season.
A summer dinner at Tri Ribara draws people in from Budva and even Tivat. If you're staying in Rafailovići, you can walk down without a booking — by 22:00 the second seating starts to clear.
Volkswagen Polo in Montenegro
The Polo had broken down by then, so I drove a Hyundai i30 or something like that. Everything was great! The car was well-maintained, they dropped me off at the airport, there was a stereo, a charger, and the AC worked—which was a real lifesaver. We extended our vacation by one day—they let us extend the car rental for one day as well, for an additional fee. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely use your services again when I return to Montenegro!

Renault Clio 4 in Montenegro
Instead of Clio, they gave Skoda Fabia. Everything went perfectly. The only wish is to drive the car with a full tank, so as not to adjust the refueling liter to liter.

Volkswagen Polo in Montenegro
Hey, we liked it, everything was good. It was cheaper than international companies as we needed also a second driver, full insurance and the possibility to cross the border. Oh, I just remembered that we have a wonderful picture of the car on the way to the Durdzevica Tara river bridge.

Parking and narrow streets
The terrain is the main constraint
The village climbs a steep hillside, and space for cars is physically limited. Access streets are narrow, with not every passing place wide enough for two cars. The trade-off: apartments and villas higher up almost always get a sea view, which is generous compensation for the parking inconvenience.
Beach and restaurant parking
Paid lots along the Adriatic road run €1–2 per hour. The southern lots near Rafailovići fill first because of the restaurant cluster on the seafront — Tri Ribara, Trattoria Tulip and the rest attract demand from lunch through late evening.
Heading to Tri Ribara or Trattoria Tulip without a booking? Arrive before 19:00 or after 22:00 — otherwise you'll be parking in Bečići and walking the 5–7 minutes back along the seafront.
Accommodation with parking
In Rafailovići this is the deciding factor. Most apartments and villas offer one space per flat, but it's sometimes booked or charged separately. Confirm at check-in: several complexes have switched to paid guest parking at €5–10 per night.
