The company behind some of the Adriatic coast’s most recognizable tourism projects
Montenegro’s transformation into one of the Mediterranean’s most attractive luxury destinations has been driven not only by international investors but also by local companies capable of delivering complex projects along the Adriatic coast. Among them, BRIV Construction has played a significant role in shaping the country’s modern tourism landscape for more than three decades.
Founded in 1990 through the merger of two family construction companies, BRIV built its reputation across construction, residential development and specialised marine and hydrotechnical engineering works. Over the past 35 years, the company has participated in some of Montenegro’s most recognizable coastal developments, including phases of Porto Montenegro, infrastructure works within the Portonovi resort in Kumbor, development of access infrastructure for Bigova Bay, the Kotor–Lovćen cable car, and the construction of the Regent Porto Montenegro Hotel in Tivat, as well as the underground pedestrian passage in Kotor.
Our goal has always been to build projects that endure—structures that become part of Montenegro’s long-term tourism and economic landscape
Building on decades of experience in complex coastal construction, BRIV has recently expanded into tourism development through Briv Hospitality, a dedicated sister company focused on hotel and resort ventures.
The centrepiece of this strategy is the Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Teuta Kotor Bay, to be opened in May, in the historic town of Risan on the shores of the UNESCO-protected Bay of Kotor. Developed in partnership with the Accor Group, the project will introduce the globally recognised Mövenpick brand to Montenegro.
The luxury complex will combine a five-star hotel with branded residences, including 85 hotel rooms and 66 luxury residential units, alongside wellness facilities, restaurants and a private beachfront area. Unlike many tourism developments along the Adriatic coast, the resort is being developed and financed by a local company, reflecting the growing role of domestic investors in shaping Montenegro’s tourism sector.
With decades of engineering expertise and an expanding presence in hospitality development, BRIV continues to contribute to shaping Montenegro’s modern Adriatic landscape — building not only hotels and infrastructure, but the foundations of the country’s next generation of tourism destinations.
