Getting here
Podgorica Airport is 9 km away. Most guests are sitting by the pool forty minutes after landing.
How far is it, really?
Wooden Village Resort is in Ponari, on the northern shore of Skadar Lake in Montenegro. Podgorica Airport is 9 km away, about fifteen minutes by car. The capital, Podgorica, is 18 km. Tivat Airport, the second airport most people fly into, is 84 km, around ninety minutes.
The address is Zeta Ponari bb, 81304 Ponari. Put that into a map app and it takes you to the gate. If your app struggles with the house number, search for the resort by name instead.
You do not need a four wheel drive. The last stretch is a normal village road and every ordinary car makes it.

Four ways to reach us
By hire car
The easiest option, and the one we recommend. All the big companies have a desk at Podgorica Airport. Park at the cabins, free, no booking needed.
By taxi from the airport
Nine kilometres, so it is a short fare. Agree the price before you get in, that is normal in Montenegro. Tell the driver Ponari, near Zabljak Crnojevica.
We pick you up
Add your flight number to the booking and we will arrange a transfer. Book it early, we are a small family business and not a taxi company.
By train
Moraca station is 7 km away, Zeta station 12 km. Both are on the Bar to Belgrade line. From either you still need a taxi, so put your arrival time in the booking.
Questions about getting here
How far is Wooden Village Resort from Podgorica Airport?
Nine kilometres, about fifteen minutes by car. It is the closest airport by a long way. Despite that you hear no aircraft from the cabins, the approach path runs elsewhere.
Do I need a rental car?
Not strictly, but it makes the stay easier. Without a car you depend on taxis for Podgorica, Virpazar and Rijeka Crnojevica. Everything at the resort itself, the lake, the pool, the restaurant and the tours, works without one.
Can you pick us up from the airport?
Yes, we can arrange a transfer. Put your flight number and arrival time into the booking, at the latest the day before. We are a family business, so we need a little notice.
What is the address for my sat nav?
Zeta Ponari bb, 81304 Ponari, Montenegro. If the house number confuses your app, search for Wooden Village Resort by name, or head for Zabljak Crnojevica and follow the last two kilometres.
When can we arrive?
Check in is from 12:00 until 23:30, check out between 07:00 and 11:00. If your flight lands late, note it in your booking and we will wait up.
Is the road paved?
Yes, up to the gate. An ordinary car is fine, you do not need four wheel drive.
