Retirement is one of those things that are best when planned ahead. They call that time of life the golden years for a reason: that's when your lifelong hard work should pay off. And there's no better choice than relocating to one of the most beautiful countries in the world – Montenegro. This country features gorgeous nature and sea and has excellent living conditions perfect for everyone considering retirement.
Here is our list of reasons why Montenegro will be your retirement haven:
Favorable Geographical Position
Living in a country with sea access is a dream, and it's just time to make your dreams come true. Additionally, Montenegro is easily accessible by sea and land, with two international airports in the country - which makes it easy to go wherever you want whenever you want to.
Beautiful Nature and Rich Cultural Heritage
You can choose how to spend your time in Montenegro. There are options for all dreams to come true. If you are the active type, rest assured that out-of-this-world wild nature has lots of excitement in store, and you'll never be let down once you start exploring the rich cultural heritage of this country. If you, on the other hand, prefer to rest and relax, there is a special kind of serenity you'll find here.
Affordable Cost of Living
The cost of living in Montenegro is affordable. It varies throughout the country – being lower in the northern/continental part and somewhat more expensive as you move towards the south to tourist centers on the coast – but it is still affordable.
Low Crime Rate
Montenegro is a safe place with a low crime rate. However, as retirement is the time when you should lead a worry-free and laid-back life, the best option is to choose a village-style resort with a closed community and 24-hour security, such as Portonovi Resort in Herceg Novi.
Potential EU Membership
Montenegro has begun the process of accession negotiation to the European Union. The changes being made as part of that process include adopting the euro as currency, which makes transactions easier.
Low Tax Rates
Montenegro is one of the European countries with the most favorable tax systems. This may be subject to change, but currently, personal and corporate taxes go from nine to 15 percent, and the income is taxed progressively, whereas the property tax ranges from 0.25 to one percent of the market value of the real estate, with exceptions that can be up to five percent. And what you’ll find most significant is that the pension tax is 0%!
Did we spark an interest in Montenegro for your retirement relocation option? There's more. We have mentioned Portonovi in one example, but if you look at the bigger picture, choosing Portonovi properties, you will find the best of Montenegro in one place. Surrounded by imposing mountains and an emerald sea, the resort is a perfect combination of Montenegro and state-of-the-art amenities, including a world-class spa, gym, private and communal pools, a rich calendar of events to choose from, and so much more.

Nećete pogriješiti ako odlučite da i zimske mjesece provedete na obali, posebno za vrijeme praznika, što će Portonovi rizort još jednom dokazati ove godine – treću put zaredom, uz Portonovi prazničnu sezonu 2024/2025. Praznične sezone u rizortu su iskustvo ispunjeno magijom za sve generacije.
Summer often leaves our hair feeling dry and dull. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, combined with sea salt and chlorine from the pool, leaves us in desperate need of an intensive restoration treatment – especially as autumn and winter bring new trends in hair styling and coloring.
This past summer, Portonovi was once again profiled as a favorite destination, as guests and visitors found entertainment and reason to enjoy the time spent in the resort. With a rich calendar of events, including sports tournaments, art exhibitions, and concerts, there was something for everyone’s taste, and the resort kept its reputation as the place to be.
