Aman Sveti Stefan
When planning your next luxury escape, Montenegro may not be the first destination that comes to mind. Yet this tiny Adriatic nation, nestled between mountains and sea, delivers an outsized experience: sweeping alpine views, pristine beaches, medieval towns, and locals who welcome you with genuine warmth.
Add to that a collection of exceptional hotels - most notably the iconic Aman Sveti Stefan, and it’s clear why Montenegro is fast becoming one of Europe’s most exciting emerging destinations.
The Icon of Montenegro: Sveti Stefan
Montenegro offers countless picturesque settings, from the baroque beauty of Perast to the UNESCO-protected bay of Kotor. But perhaps no image captures the spirit of the country quite like Sveti Stefan.
This fortified island, first settled in 1423, is connected to the mainland by a slender isthmus and framed by two kilometers of golden beach. Directly opposite lies Villa Miločer, once a royal summer residence. Together, these two historic sites now form Aman Sveti Stefan, a showpiece of luxury and heritage.
Staying at Aman Sveti Stefan
Sveti Stefan island is home to 51 rooms, cottages, and suites, each meticulously restored to preserve its rustic village charm while adding Aman’s signature elegance. Across the isthmus, Villa Miločer houses six sumptuous suites, with two additional suites in a private annex.
For the ultimate indulgence, the Sveti Stefan Suite is the crown jewel: spread across two floors, complete with a private pool and panoramic sea views. Like all Aman properties, its design is minimalist yet deeply atmospheric, allowing the surrounding beauty to take center stage.
Wellness & Leisure
Another highlight is the Aman Spa, a serene retreat on the mainland overlooking Queen’s Beach. Open year-round, it offers a 24-meter indoor-outdoor pool, saunas, plunge pools, and a full menu of treatments designed for deep relaxation.
Meanwhile, on the island itself, the adults-only cliff pool is a showstopper. Perched dramatically above the Adriatic, it offers one of the most photogenic backdrops you’ll find anywhere in Europe.
Getting There
Reaching Aman Sveti Stefan is seamless. The resort is a 40-minute drive from Tivat Airport, about an hour from Podgorica Airport, and 2.5 hours from Dubrovnik Airport. Direct flights are available from most major European hubs, while long-haul travelers can connect easily through London, Paris, or Rome.
Your Next Adriatic Escape
Montenegro may be small, but it delivers unforgettable experiences in spades, from ancient towns and dramatic coastlines to world-class hospitality. With Aman Sveti Stefan at its heart, this destination is firmly on the rise as one of Europe’s hidden gems.
