Aman Sveti Stefan
15th-century fortified island village connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus
The Privata Perspective
An entire 15th-century fortified island village — connected to the Montenegrin mainland by a narrow isthmus — restored as a resort of extraordinary character. The 50 rooms are spread across original stone cottages whose terracotta roofs, winding alleyways, and tiny piazzas have been photographed so often they have become one of the most recognisable images of the Adriatic.
The property operates across two distinct settings: the island itself and Villa Milocer on the mainland, a former summer residence of the Yugoslav royal family set within formal olive and pine gardens. Each offers its own beach — the island's famous pink-sand cove on one side, and Milocer's Queen's Beach on the other, consistently ranked among the most beautiful in Europe.
Aman Sveti Stefan is a property best understood through its layers of history. The island has been a fortified fishing village, a refuge from Ottoman raids, a royal retreat, and a Cold War-era celebrity destination before Aman's painstaking restoration. Walking its cobblestone paths at dusk, with the Adriatic glowing pink and the mountains of the Montenegrin coast turning purple behind, is one of Europe's most romantic hotel experiences.

Spa & Wellness
The spa occupies restored stone buildings on the island, where thick medieval walls create naturally cool, cocoon-like treatment rooms. Therapies combine Mediterranean wellness traditions — olive-oil massage, sea-mineral scrubs, herbal compresses — with Aman's signature Asian-inspired bodywork. Yoga on the island's terraces overlooking the Adriatic completes the offering.
