Aman Sveti Stefan | Montenegro

Sveti Stefan, Budva
Independent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Aman Sveti Stefan is a peerless retreat for heritage lovers and privacy seekers who want to live inside a 15th-century fortified village. While those craving ultra-modern minimalism or high-energy nightlife might find the island's stone-walled simplicity too rustic, the atmosphere is unmatched for romantic seclusion. The signature experience worth the journey is enjoying a private breakfast of traditional 'priganice' on your cottage terrace as the sun rises over the Adriatic.
