About Ada Bojana
Ada Bojana is a triangular river island at Montenegro's southernmost point, on the Albanian border. It is bounded on two sides by the two arms of the Bojana River and on the third by the Adriatic. Its sea side is a sandy beach about 3 km long, continuing the Velika Plaža sand coast south of Ulcinj. The island has been a naturist settlement since 1973, when the FKK Ada Bojana resort of bungalows, rooms and a campsite opened among the pines. In 2023 it marked its 50th anniversary. Nudity is allowed everywhere except the restaurant, reception and bar, and the beach is used by naturist families, couples and singles. Behind the sand, the riverbanks are lined with wooden fish restaurants on stilts, and the river mouth is a well-known kitesurfing spot. The sea is shallow over sandbanks, but when it is windy strong rip currents form, so swim with care. Ada Bojana hosted the third Naturist Games Without Borders in June 2025.
Getting there
Ada Bojana is about 15-18 km south-east of Ulcinj. Take the road toward the Albanian border and turn off at Štoj, following the signs for Ada Bojana. A parking fee of about €5 is reported. From the car park you can walk to the beach or take the resort's shuttle. Buses run from Ulcinj to Štoj, with a taxi for the last stretch. The nearest airports are Podgorica (about 75 km) and Tivat.
What visitors say
Recent visitors (2025) describe a relaxed, respectful naturist atmosphere with many couples, some families and single visitors. They like the long, uncrowded sand and the river-fish restaurants. Rip currents on windy days are the main warning. Kitesurfers gather at the river mouth.
