Map & location
Herceg Novi (Tivat Airport), Montenegro
Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi sits right at the entrance to Montenegro’s famous Bay of Kotor, just outside the low-key resort of Herceg Novi. The hotel is built into the hillside, cascading down towards the water, so you’re never far from a sweeping sea view.
From here, you can take boat trips across the bay, ferry-hop to tiny islets, or head up the coast to stroll Herceg Novi’s old town, with its stone stairways, fortresses and café terraces. Back at the hotel, life slows down to swims, sunloungers and unhurried meals on the terrace overlooking the Adriatic.
- Direct seafront access on-site
- bars and restaurants within a short taxi or local bus ride
- Herceg Novi old town 7–10km
- Kotor 40–45km
- Approx. transfer time from airport around 1 hour 15 minutes from Tivat Airport (longer at peak times)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The main outdoor pool is the visual focal point of the hotel, set on a broad terrace that seems to float above the Bay of Kotor. Loungers and parasols line the deck, with views that sweep across the water to the surrounding hills – a particularly memorable spot at sunset.
There’s no classic sandy beach here; instead, the hotel offers direct access to the sea via platforms and steps, very typical of this stretch of the Adriatic. From the seafront terraces you can swim in the clear water, sunbathe close to the waves, or watch boats drift by along the bay.
Spa, sports & wellness
Beyond the pool and seafront decks, Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi usually features a small fitness area for gentle workouts, plus spa and wellness facilities offering massages and beauty treatments (extra charges apply).
Depending on the season, you can expect a light programme of daytime activities and low-key evening entertainment – think live music or a relaxed show – designed to complement, rather than disturb, the calm atmosphere. Being a certified sustainable hotel, you’ll also notice eco-minded touches such as reduced single-use plastics and energy-saving measures woven into the operation.

Food & drink
All Inclusive at Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi is built around relaxed, buffet-style dining with a strong Mediterranean slant. Expect fresh salads, grilled meats and fish, local specialities and familiar international favourites at breakfast, lunch and dinner, often with show-cooking stations.
A seafront bar keeps drinks and coffee flowing through the day, while another bar closer to the lobby is perfect for a nightcap with a view. The dress code is generally casual but neat in the evenings, and opening hours and inclusions may vary by season. What All Inclusive typically includes.
Rooms
Sea View Rooms
Upgrade for the full Bay of Kotor experience. Sea View rooms tend to mirror the layout of Standard Doubles but open onto a balcony oriented towards the water, so you can wake up and wind down to sweeping Adriatic views.
Side Sea View or Garden View Options
Side Sea View or Garden View rooms usually offer the same facilities with a different outlook – either a partial glimpse of the bay or a quieter view towards the hillside and hotel grounds.
Family Rooms and Larger Units
For those travelling with children or as a small group, selected rooms can sleep more guests using a sofa bed or additional bed. These maintain the bright, airy feel, with enough floor space to avoid feeling crowded.
In-room facilities and configurations can vary slightly by block and season, but you can typically expect: air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, safe, mini-fridge, bathroom with shower, hairdryer and a furnished outdoor space in most categories.
