Bridge in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro

What a location! The Iberostar Bijela Park sits directly on the sea front promenade in Bijela with incredible views across the famous Boka Kotorska Bay. Cruise ships sail past the hotel terraces as they enter the deep blue fjord flanked by high topped mountains on route to Kotor. Just sit on the terraces, relax on the hotels private beach or on your spacious balcony and absorb the stunning scenery - it really is breath taking.

Originally known as the Carine Park Hotel, this well rated hotel is now part of the Iberostar group, an international hotel group recognised for its good quality and services.

Included to enhance your holiday:

We have included in our package three superb half day excursions by boat across Kotor Bay.

Visit the fortified city of Kotor - the most visited historic city in Montenegro with its medieval buildings, cobbled squares, cathedral, Romanesque churches, and clock tower all within its city walls. We also stop to see the legendary “Lady on the Rocks”
Take a trip to Tivat and the exclusive Port of Montenegro for serious shopping or just to sip a glass of wine and try to spot an A-lister descending from his luxury yacht
Our third excursion takes us into the beautiful old town of Herceg Novi, full of winding streets and flower courtyards, and boasting an old fortress and an amphitheatre amongst its many attractions

If you want to explore independently getting around on the local buses and ferries is cheap and easy. Bijela itself offers a small selection of shops and restaurants that can easily be reached on foot from the hotel along its seafront promenade.

What to expect on this Bridge holiday:
Fly from London Gatwick airport with our flight inclusive package, or choose one of the many flights available from regional airports if you prefer (additional supplements may apply). Your transfer will also be included from either Tivat (45 minutes including ferry) or Dubrovnik airport (1 hour, 15 minutes).

At the start of your Bridge holiday you’ll be invited to join our Bridge director and host for a welcome meeting in the hotel. Any single travellers will have the opportunity to find a partner for the Bridge room.

Our Bridge programmes will vary according to the length of your break, and, in addition to playing Bridge, we try to include interesting Bridge seminars, hosted by your Bridge Director.

Your duplicate Bridge will be available every evening between 7.45pm and 11.15pm and we endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs, with at least one Swiss style event during a two-week Bridge break.

Bridge will also be offered some afternoons between 2.30pm and 4.45pm. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams.

During your Bridge holiday nothing is obligatory and you can play in as many, or as few, Bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our Bridge programmes also allow time to relax and the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area.

Ro Kaye

I cannot wait to get back to bridge holidays, particularly in the sunshine!

I enjoy bridge, but also meeting new people and encouraging them to appreciate the highs and lows of this intriguing game. I have been busy in lockdown when, as chairman of Cheltenham Bridge Club, we set up on-line sessions to keep the membership in touch with each other. I was one of the founder members of the Wessex Youth Bridge Weekend held for youngsters of any ability to come and learn how to play. I have also really loved hosting First for Bridge Holidays in recent years.
