AMAN SVETI STEFAN

Montenegro RECOMMENDED BY Jo Kennedy and Beverley Cohen

Cruising by small private yacht or gulet is a spectacular way to discover the Adriatic Coast, but the perfect ending comes with a stay at Aman Sveti Stefan. A jewel in Aman’s crown of European resorts, this 32-hectare estate is divided between the fishing village of Sveti Stefan Island and historic Villa Milocer on the mainland, a short drive or sail from the Bay of Kotor. As Beverley explains, you immediately “feel the Aman charm and indulgence” and the “small, personal, boutique feel of the island”. Jo says this serene sanctuary is infused with “understated luxury, simple yet elegant design, curated local experiences and the most personalised, discreet service”. Jo recommends making the most of the three private beaches, followed by a body-soothing treatment in the Aman Spa “for a truly magical experience.”
