Perast real estate represents one of the most structurally constrained luxury property markets in the Adriatic. A UNESCO World Heritage listing protects this Baroque village of fewer than 350 permanent residents, sitting on the western shore of the Bay of Kotor, where heritage planning rules mean that supply cannot expand. For international buyers seeking capital preservation alongside Adriatic lifestyle,...

The off-plan sector has matured considerably since the...
For buyers with Adriatic ambitions in 2026, Montenegro currently offers the stronger investment case on yield and capital appreciation potential, while Croatia provides greater legal familiarity for EU citizens and an established market with deeper liquidity.
