Description
One of the first buyers into Lavender Bay had the choice of every apartment in the development - and chose this one. This two-bedroom penthouse of 94m² sits on the top floor of the complex with an unobstructed direct view across the Bay of Kotor towards Perast, a covered terrace across two outdoor zones, two bathrooms, and a complex that includes an infinity pool, sauna, steam room, and massage room. Sold fully furnished. Allocated parking included. Perast 10 minutes; Kotor 23km / 25 minutes.
In Full
When Lavender Bay launched, one buyer had first choice of the entire development. He chose this apartment - top floor, direct sightline to Perast, nothing above him and nobody sharing his view. Twenty years of watching this market suggests that kind of early, informed judgement tends to age well.
The full-width bifold doors in the living room fold entirely away, and on a clear morning the bay becomes part of the room rather than something observed through glass. The palette throughout is soft and consistent - cream, warm oak, taupe, white - quiet enough to let the blue and green outside do the visual work. The entrance hallway sets the tone before you reach it: an oak sideboard, a large round wooden wall clock, a pendant light. Considered rather than decorated.
The open-plan living and kitchen space works well at this scale. White flat-front cabinetry runs to ceiling height in the kitchen, granite worktops, integrated appliances. The dining table seats six. Two cream leather sofas face the bifold doors. An elegant circular mirror sits above the console table. The sloped penthouse roofline - the one thing no other floor in this building has - gives the whole space a character that photographs suggest but only registers properly in person.
The terrace is the apartment's clearest argument. Covered by a pergola of dark timber slats and arranged across two distinct zones - dining on one side, a lounge seating area on the other - it looks directly across the bay from both. Morinj village and Tra?te Bay (Plavi Horizonti) sit below; the water opens towards Perast; the mountains close the far horizon. From April through October this becomes the primary room, and Montenegro's long evenings tend to find their natural end somewhere out here.
Both bedrooms sit off a dedicated hallway, each with herringbone parquet and its own bathroom - a configuration that works as well for two couples sharing as it does for a family or an owner in residence. The main bedroom has a full-length mirror wardrobe and a mountain outlook. The second has an aspect towards the bay. The main bathroom has a full bath, taupe wall tiles, and a vertical mosaic strip in silver and grey. The second is a glass-enclosed shower room with rainfall head and pebble mosaic floor. A separate utility and storage room off the hallway houses the washing machine and offers lockable storage - the kind of practical detail that matters quietly over a long season.
The Lavender Bay complex adds an outdoor infinity pool whose edge meets the Perast sightline directly, an indoor sauna, steam room, and massage room. The apartment is sold fully furnished as seen. Allocated parking included.
What Sets It Apart
Most two-bedroom apartments at this price point on the western shore offer either a good view or a well-appointed interior or meaningful complex facilities - rarely all three, and rarely from the top floor without compromise on aspect. This penthouse has the unobstructed bay view that the lower floors in the same building do not, a terrace large enough to live on across two zones, two bathrooms, a four-facility wellness complex, and the character that only a penthouse roofline gives a living space. The original buyer understood the full picture before anyone else had the chance to.
Buyer Lens
Well suited to a buyer wanting a genuine high-season base or primary residence on the quieter side of the bay, or an investor looking for a property that photographs well and lets consistently. Less suited to someone needing year-round urban walkability - a car is necessary here, though the village handles the daily basics on foot.
Local Amenities
Morinj is a small, quiet village on the western shore of the inner bay - residential in character, unhurried in pace, and well enough equipped that daily life works without constant recourse to a car. The E65 coastal road runs through it, connecting Herceg Novi and Kotor by bus throughout the day, and the village centre is a short walk from the complex with a market, a post office, and a handful of places to eat and drink directly on the water.

Agent's Honest Take
The western shore suits buyers who want the bay without the noise of it. This apartment, within that setting, has the position that someone with full knowledge and full choice identified at the very beginning - and nothing about it has diminished that judgement since. The view is direct and uncompromised, the terrace works as a genuine outdoor living space across two zones, and the complex delivers more than most comparable developments at this price. A car is needed for daily life; the village covers the essentials on foot. For buyers looking for a property they will not need to apologise for, in a location that rewards the decision to be on this side of the water, this is a straightforward recommendation.
