Baošići: A Bay of Kotor Village in Herceg Novi Municipality
Baošići is a small village in Herceg Novi municipality on the Bay of Kotor, with a seafront street, apartment accommodation and a hillside of residences above the coastal road. Come here for a low-key base from which to reach Herceg Novi and Bijela, rather than for a walled old town of its own. This guide covers the village layout, who it suits, the named places to stay, the eating style and how to position yourself for days out.
What and where Baošići is
Baošići sits in Herceg Novi municipality at an elevation of about 11 metres, which tells you most of what you need to know: the village hugs the water rather than climbing a mountain. It faces the Bay of Kotor, so the water is the front garden and the coastal road runs behind the seafront strip.
Treat Baošići as one stop in the chain of small settlements along the bay's northern shore rather than as a resort with a centre. The village is part of the wider Herceg Novi neighbourhood picture, and the surrounding districts each have their own character along the same road.

The layout: Obala Ribara and the hillside above
The address to memorise is Obala Ribara, the seafront street where the beach aparthotel Apartments Rosić Baošići is listed at 74. Obala Ribara is listed with a beach locale.
Hillside addresses in the wider area are a different matter. Expedia lists Bayview Hills Luxury Residences and Casa Collection on Tivat Heights Access Road, both described as being in Kotor rather than Baošići itself, with free parking and an outdoor pool at Bayview Hills and an airport shuttle at a surcharge at Casa Collection.
The practical consequence is to check the address before you book: on Obala Ribara you step out onto the seafront, while a hillside address elsewhere means a climb or a car every time you want the water.

Who Baošići suits
Baošići suits travellers who want a village base between Herceg Novi and Tivat, with apartment-style rooms and a seafront walk. It is a sensible fit for families and groups who want space and a kitchen rather than hotel service, and for anyone using the bay's northern shore as a platform for day trips.
It suits you less if you want to step out of your door into a dense old town with squares, churches and a full restaurant strip. For that, base yourself in Herceg Novi itself and visit Baošići as a quieter stretch of coast.
Where to stay in the village
The clearest village-level option is Apartments Rosić Baošići on Obala Ribara, a beach aparthotel with free WiFi and a beach locale, listed as a three-and-a-half star property. Being on the seafront street, it puts the water close at hand.
The larger hotels that appear on Baošići searches are not in the village. Huma Kotor Bay Hotel and Villas is listed at Autokamp bb in Dobrota, Kotor, with free breakfast, free WiFi and two outdoor pools, while Bayview Hills and Casa Collection are Tivat Heights addresses. Read the address before you book, because a Baošići search can return Kotor properties first.
Rates change by date and season, so check the price for your own nights on the booking page rather than relying on any figure you have seen quoted elsewhere. Compare the total cost of a seafront apartment with a hillside residence including parking and any shuttle surcharge.
Eating in the area
Eating in the wider area is seafood and Mediterranean, which is what you would expect from a bay village with a beach locale. Plan on fish, grilled dishes and simple plates rather than a long restaurant strip.
Because the village is small, treat eating as part of the day's plan rather than an afterthought: eat on the seafront when you want to stay local, and travel to Herceg Novi or Bijela when you want more choice. Self-catering in an apartment covers the evenings when you would rather not drive.
Getting there and around
Baošići lies in Herceg Novi municipality on the bay, on the coastal road that connects Herceg Novi with Tivat, and that road is the artery for everything in the village. Arriving by car gives you the most flexibility, especially if you stay on the hillside, where parking is the deciding factor.
Once you are in the village, walking the seafront along Obala Ribara is the way to get around: the water and the apartments are on the flat. For anything beyond the village, you need the road, so plan your days around a vehicle or a lift rather than assuming a local bus will fill the gap.
Baošići as a base for boat trips
The boat trips listed for this bay depart from the Kotor side, not from Baošići. A three-hour tour combining the Blue Cave, a submarine base and Our Lady of the Rocks is listed at 40 US dollars per adult, and a three-hour Blue Cave and war tunnels tour with a swim is listed at 38 US dollars per adult.
Shorter options are also listed: a three-hour relaxing tour to Our Lady of the Rocks and Perast at 37 US dollars per adult, and a boat ride from Perast to Our Lady of the Rocks and back at 28 US dollars per adult. These are booking-platform prices rather than confirmed local operator tariffs, so treat them as a planning figure and confirm with the operator on the day.
Factor in the road time from Baošići to the departure point when you book a morning slot, and keep the afternoon free for the seafront rather than scheduling two trips in a day.
Nearby places along the bay
Two neighbours are worth knowing. Đenovići appears on Expedia as one of the cities near Baošići, and Bijela sits on the same stretch of shore, so you can compare villages within the municipality.
For a different mood on the same coast, Meljine, Herceg Novi is the next district along and makes an easy change of scene for an evening. Use these neighbouring guides to decide which village to sleep in and which to visit.
Weather for the dates you travel
The figures below are a short-term forecast for Baošići for the dates shown, not a guide to the season. For the second half of October 2026, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute's forecast for the village shows daily highs of roughly 16 to 20 degrees Celsius and lows of 12 to 15, with rain on some days and dry spells on others.
Treat those numbers as an outlook for the dates shown rather than a guide to the season, since conditions on the bay change quickly and a windy day on the water feels much cooler than the number suggests.
Should you base yourself in Baošići?
Choose Baošići if you want an apartment with a seafront street, a flat walk along Obala Ribara and a position between Herceg Novi and Tivat for day trips. Book on the seafront if you want to walk to the water.
If you want an old town on your doorstep instead, sleep in Herceg Novi and treat Baošići as a quiet stop along the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Baošići good for a quiet base on the Bay of Kotor?
Yes, if you want a small village with a seafront street and apartment accommodation rather than a resort centre. The trade-off is that eating and evening options are limited, so you will drive or travel to Herceg Novi or Bijela for more choice.
How far is Baošići from Herceg Novi and Tivat?
Baošići sits on the coastal road between Herceg Novi and Tivat, in Herceg Novi municipality. Check live route and drive times before you travel, since the road along the bay is the only way through and traffic varies.
