Sveti Stefan 85315, Montenegro Get directions
"If you have the time and budget, Sveti Stefan is a must-visit. You’ll see the island village from the highway, sticking out of the sparkling blues of the Adriatic, with its red roofs and rim of pink-sand beaches. Upon further inspection, you’ll notice the facades of Sveti Stefan seem much more preserved and modern than other medieval villages in Montenegro. That’s because Sveti Stefan is a former medieval village that has been transformed into a five-star Aman resort. Aman Sveti Stefan has taken over the entire 1.2-square-mile town and transformed it into one of the most glamorous and exclusive resorts in the world. Only guests are permitted within the walls of the resort, and those select few enter a 15th-century aesthetic, with breathtaking Adriatic views and the highest of creature comforts." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"While Aman properties have become the darlings of a younger jet-setting class, this property is a wonderfully different beast. It’s its own island. There’s a bridge to the mainland, but no one is ever sure whether they want (or need) to cross it. It was once a whole town, so you’ll probably be sleeping in a medieval bakery or church. Lying on Montenegro’s coastline on the Adriatic Sea, Sveti Stefan is a boat ride away from ancient towns and UNESCO-protected sites." (Price upon request)
"Aman Sveti Stefan, like all Aman properties, always takes things to the highest possible level when it comes to rooms, service, public spaces, and dining." - Annie Fitzsimmons
"This 58-room resort overlooking the Adriatic is actually two distinct properties joined by a narrow isthmus. The stone houses of the fortified island date back to the fifteenth century, and the eight-room mainland villa was built in 1934. Spacious bathrooms come with deep soaking tubs, stone-floored showers, and double vanities. Rooms at the Villa Miloer have ethanol-burning fireplaces, potted orchids, and cocoa silk-tweed sofas with suede pillows."
"Janu properties will focus on 'human interaction, playful expression and social wellness.'" - Elise Taylor
