Inside Sveti Stefan - A Unique 15th-Century Luxury Island Resort In Montenegro

At EliteLyfe, we represent some of the most exclusive resorts and villas in the world. As travel representatives for high-net-worth individuals, we see it as our job to offer elite vacation destinations which are perhaps not commonly known to everyone.

My favorite part of being CEO of EliteLyfe? Getting to personally vet some of the most exclusive vacation properties on the planet to ensure they meet the high standards of our discerning clientele.

With that in mind, I recently had the chance to experience one of the most unique luxury resorts in the world - Aman Sveti Stefan Island in Montenegro. This 15th-Century island fortress has been the location of choice for numerous celebrity vacations and weddings. I couldn’t wait to get out there and see what it was all about...

Aman Sveti Stefan Island is a quaint, old-world paradise which features charming cobblestone streets and ancient shaded courtyards. There are no cars, buggies, or golf carts on the island. It’s so peaceful.

My first impressions? I loved it. There’s a stillness all around the island which gives a feeling that there’s magic in the air. A sensation which is amplified further by the ever-present, surrounding Adriatic Sea.

The handful of residences create a picturesque little town of unique buildings which lovingly feature mature vines and eye-catching red-tiled roofs. The island is filled with cute nooks and crannies at every turn. You can easily stumble upon the perfect garden or terrace to match the mood of your afternoon.

Sveti Stefan Island is operated by Aman Resorts. Guests benefit from a first-rate service which delivers on a well experienced “invisible hand” approach. Everything is taken care of around you, ensuring your privacy, with no detail too small and no request too big.

Aman Sveti Stefan Island Resort has three beaches which offer over two kilometers of lush rose-pink sand. The Adriatic Sea has incredible clarity and is accessible for a variety of water sports. The island enjoys a sweeping panoramic background which extends across pine tree forests and rugged mountains. It’s truly breathtaking…

The Sveti Stefan Island Resort is an exclusive retreat which hosts just 50 rooms, cottages, and suites. Each of these unique residences has traditional design elements which feature prominently against stylish minimalist furniture.

The resort has one-, two-, and three-bedroom accommodations. Many of the residences on the island have seafront terraces and private swimming pools.

The Aman Sveti Stefan Island Resort has a great restaurant and bar which has serene al-fresco dining areas. The resort has three swimming pools - one for children, a seafront adult-only pool, and a heated indoor pool at the spa. The wellness area expands over multiple levels and offers first-rate treatments. There is also a state-of-the-art gym.

The Aman Sveti Stefan Island Resort truly lived up to my expectations. The ancient island location provides an experience like no other, the nature is beautiful, and the standards of service and design are second to none.
