Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and privacy-seekers and the design and heritage connoisseur, drawn by one of the Mediterranean's most storied addresses — a restored island village and a royal villa with a private Queen's Beach.

About the Resort
A legendary island-and-villa hideaway on the Adriatic
Aman Sveti Stefan is Montenegro's most iconic address — a restored fifteenth-century fortified island village woven with stone cottages and a royal villa on the mainland opposite, long regarded as one of the Mediterranean's defining luxury resorts. The car-free island holds individually restored cottages and suites along cobbled lanes, while the mainland Villa Milocer keeps eight suites in the former summer residence of Queen Marija, set in olive groves and pine. A private scalloped Queen's Beach is reserved for guests, a twenty-five-hundred-square-metre Aman Spa and a twenty-four-metre indoor-outdoor pool serve both sides, and seasonal island and year-round mainland tables handle the dining. The setting is the Budva Riviera at its most storied: the causeway-linked island sits a few kilometres from Budva's Venetian Old Town, the bay of Kotor with its UNESCO walls and the wineries and birdlife of Lake Skadar lie close, and Dubrovnik is around two and a half hours away. It is the legendary island-and-villa hideaway of the Budva Riviera — distinct from the year-round Boka Bay marina resorts.
Accommodation
Island cottages & royal suites
A restored fifteenth-century stone village threads the car-free island with individually restored cottages and suites along cobbled lanes, while the mainland Villa Milocer holds eight suites in the former summer residence of Queen Marija amid olive groves and pine. No two are alike, the island a living piece of Adriatic history and the villa a royal retreat, both among the most storied rooms on the Mediterranean.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Aman Sveti Stefan. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

One&Only Portonovi
One&Only Portonovi is the brand's palatial first resort in Europe — a marble-clad, Venetian-inspired resort at the mouth of fjord-like Boka Bay, at its own Portonovi marina near Herceg Novi, with every room facing the water over a working fireplace. Its heart is the Espace Chenot, a genuine destination wellness centre of around 28 treatment rooms running the Chenot Method, not just a hotel spa. Six pools and a private sandy beach club edge the bay, Giorgio Locatelli's Sabia and the buzzing Tapasake pool club anchor the dining, and the KidsOnly club makes it a rare resort that does grand-family and serious wellness at once. The palatial, Chenot-wellness pick of Boka Bay — distinct from the design-led Chedi on the Lustica peninsula and the Italian-palazzo Regent on the Tivat superyacht marina. Year-round.
Montenegro
Regent Porto Montenegro
Regent Porto Montenegro is the grand Italian-palazzo on the Adriatic's flagship superyacht marina — set within the Porto Montenegro village at Tivat on Boka Bay, in a calming navy-and-ivory palette that evokes a luxury liner. Around 175 rooms, suites and residences run across the Venezia, Aqua and Baia wings, an outdoor rooftop infinity pool looks over the yacht berths, and a water-garden catwalk on a submergible stone walkway connects to a private events island. The Regent Spa carries a Turkish hammam and will even treat guests onboard a hired yacht, while the Yacht Club Lido scene sits a short walk away. The Italian-palazzo, superyacht-marina pick of Boka Bay — distinct from the palatial One&Only at Herceg Novi and the design-led Chedi on the Lustica peninsula. Year-round.
Montenegro
The Chedi Lustica Bay
The Chedi Lustica Bay is GHM's contemporary-Chedi design cascading over a purpose-built marina village on the Lustica peninsula — 111 rooms on a hillside above the marina at Traste Bay, most with a private balcony over the sea, in terrazzo and oak. Three signature restaurants run from contemporary Mediterranean to The Japanese, a destination restaurant with horizon views, and The Spot on the marina promenade. The Asian-inspired Chedi Spa pairs Bali, India and Tibet traditions with organic VOYA products, indoor and outdoor pools and The Chedi beach edge the village, and year-round Adriatic adventure waits on the doorstep. The design-led, Leading-Hotels pick of Boka Bay — distinct from the palatial One&Only at Herceg Novi and the Italian-palazzo Regent on the Tivat superyacht marina. Year-round.
