Aman Sveti Stefan

The fortified island village known as Sveti Stefan is connected to Montenegro’s mainland by just a narrow strip of land. It’s here that you’ll find Aman Sveti Stefan, a boutique hotel perched atop the scenic peninsula jutting into the Adriatic Sea. The resort is split into two sections—the mainland houses Villa Milocer, with standalone amenities offered year-round. The hotel’s suites sit on the island, which is open from early May to mid-October.

Aman Sveti Stefan is supremely photogenic, its 15th-century, hand-restored stone villas capped with red-tiled roofs and linked by winding, cobbled footpaths. Surrounding the resort are pink-sand beaches and impossibly turquoise waters. Treat yourself at the spa, relax in the Turkish baths, and sample local Montenegrin cuisine—including local cheeses, honeys, freshly caught seafood, and beef—at the on-site restaurants in the open-air piazza.
