Milocer Holiday
Milocer is the former royal residence of the Karadjordjevic family and current summer residence of the Montenegrin President. Situated on the mainland amid 25 acres of landscaped gardens and parkland and facing the small island hotel of Sveti Stefan, the beautiful coastline and tranquil countryside have much to offer. The famous sandy Queen's Beach is 380m long and stretches beneath the royal residence.
Built in 1934, the former royal residence is enclosed within a wall with 2 gates, one leading to Przno and the other to Sveti Stefan. Spanning 18 hectares, Milocer forest provides a stunning backdrop to the residence and an abundance of exotic trees, such as Lebanese cedar, tropical mimosa, Japanese medlar, cactus agave and pittosporum. The promenade at nearby Przno offers a selection of fine seafood restaurants, cafés and bars, and the attractive, fortified fishing village turned hotel of Sveti Stefan is also within walking distance.
Beaches
Milocer has a 380 metre-long sandy beach offering a wide selection of watersports. Milocer forest provides a beautiful, natural backdrop to the beach. The little fishing village of Przno has a sandy beach and a large number of old olive trees. Sveti Stefan has both private and public beaches.
Shopping
Although there are a few small shops catering for the basic needs of the local population and visitors, the best place for serious shopping is the nearby town of Budva, which has a range of markets, shops and gift shops, many of them open late.
Nightlife
Milocer itself is a tranquil, relaxed place. The main evening entertainment is sitting out at a café or restaurant listening to quiet music in nearby Sveti Stefan or Przno. For exuberant nightlife, try nearby Budva, which has a large number of bars, clubs and discos.
Local Specialities
Options for eating out in Milocer itself are fairly limited, but there are restaurants and bars in Sveti Stefan. A street known as ul Slobode at the top of the steps leading up from the Sveti Stefan Hotel has several decent restaurants serving grills, seafood, pasta and pizza on large terraces with excellent views. For an even greater variety, head to the nearby town of Budva. The little beach at Przno has cafés, bars and some fine seafood restaurants, with fresh fish provided by Sveti Stefan's handful of surviving fishermen.
