It is located in the central part of the Boka, south of mount Vrmac. The municipality lies mostly south of the town, and also has an exit to open sea at the tourist location Pržno inlet near Radovići village in south. Its central part, where Tivat Airport is located, lies in fertile valley of Grbalj. The airport is located near isthmus of Luštica peninsula, which belongs to the municipality of Herceg Novi for the most part.

Beginning from 1971 the Tivat Airport acquired the modern runway and it is now a significant airport for foreign air traffic. The tourist potential of Tivat is yet to be fully realized. Only the inlets near Prevlaka, as well as the localities of Župa and Kaliman, provide great conditions for the construction of marinas and yachting clubs. Even today, Tivat represents an interesting place for navigators. This little town is aiming to attract many guests in the third millennium.
