Sveti Nikola Island is the largest island of Montenegro (1.750 m x 350 m) and it lays 1 km from the oldtown of Budva in the ocean. The island is also known as „Hawaii“, because of the water around it, which has got that tropical blue color and crystal clearness. Formerly there has been a restaurant on the island with that name. The locals also call it „Skolj“ (from the Italian word „scoglio“, which means „rock“).
Sveti Nikola is named after the 16th-century Church of St. Nicholas which sits on the northern side of the island facing Budva. Saint Nikola was considered as a protector of sailors. The southern flank of Sveti Nikola features some beautiful secret beaches that are only accessible by private boats or kayaks. They are small but incredibly picturesque.
Perfect for snorkeling, cliff jumping, diving and swimming.
