One&Only Portonovi | Montenegro

Portonovi, Herceg Novi
Five-StarIndependent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

One&Only Portonovi is the definitive choice for the ultra-luxury traveler seeking a sophisticated Adriatic escape that rivals the French Riviera without the stifling crowds. It is perfect for wellness devotees and families who value brand-new, palatial facilities, though travelers seeking a gritty, historic city feel might find its polished marina setting a bit insulated. The one signature experience worth flying for is a multi-day medical detox at Chenot Espace, the most advanced wellness center in the Mediterranean.
