About the Resort
A grand wellness-and-family resort at the mouth of the Bay of Kotor
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 twenty-eight 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 setting is the dramatic mouth of Boka Bay: the fjord-like bay of Kotor opens beyond the marina, the old town of Herceg Novi with its seaside fortresses lies close, the UNESCO walls of Kotor and the island churches of Perast lie around the bay, and Dubrovnik is around forty minutes away. It is 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.
Accommodation
Rooms, suites & villas
Around 110 rooms, suites and villas fill a Venetian-inspired, marble-clad resort, every one facing Boka Bay with a working fireplace; Suite Two adds a connecting bedroom and a butler, and the signature Villa One sleeps up to seven. Palatial and water-facing, they range from a couple's room to a villa for a large family, all looking out over the fjord-like bay, each warmed by a working fireplace for the cooler months.

Food & Drink
Dining
Giorgio Locatelli's Sabia brings Italian cooking by the bay, and the buzzing Tapasake Club plates modern Japanese and Asian tapas as the social heart, with the Portonovi marina restaurants a short stroll away. It is dining with real names attached, the Tapasake pool club as much a scene as a meal.

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

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.
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
Aman Sveti Stefan
Aman Sveti Stefan is Montenegro's most iconic address — a restored 15th-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 2,500-square-metre Aman Spa and a 24-metre indoor-outdoor pool serve both sides, and Kotor, Budva Old Town and Lake Skadar lie close by. The legendary island-and-villa hideaway of the Budva Riviera — distinct from the year-round Boka Bay marina resorts.
