💡 Tips
- Book wellness treatments like mud baths in advance, as the institute is often quite busy.
- A walk along the 7 km long Pet Danica promenade takes you straight into the old town of Herceg Novi.
- The water in Igalo Bay is very shallow; you have to walk in a long way to be able to swim properly.
- Many of the beaches are concrete; bring a thick mat if you don't want to rent a sunbed.
🍽 Food
Try these hearty stuffed steaks in the traditional restaurants along the promenade.
Many seafood restaurants offer fresh mussels in a delicious wine and garlic sauce.
At many stands along the shore, you can buy fresh, sweet crepes for a dessert on the go.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
In some pharmacies and the spa institute, you can purchase creams based on the famous Igalo mud.
At the small market in the center, you will find seasonal fruit and dried figs.
The surroundings of Tito's former summer residence offer a quiet, wooded retreat.
Wade into the shallow water early in the morning before families arrive at the beach to experience pure silence.
Water temperature…
Located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, Igalo is a recognized health resort due to its mild microclimate and therapeutic sea mud. The settlement is directly connected to Herceg Novi by the 7-kilometer Pet Danica coastal promenade. The Igalo Institute has provided musculoskeletal rehabilitation treatments using the local, slightly radioactive sea mud since the 1940s. The shallow, sandy shoreline makes it a practical bathing spot for families with young children. Josip Broz Tito's former residence, Villa Galeb, is also located here and is partially open to the public.
