This is the most unique beach vacation spot I have seen in a review in a long time. My ideal hotel - rich in history, in this case, 15th century. The Aman Sveti Stefan in Montenegro is on its own island - yet designed and renovated with respect to its history by preserving it's original state covered in stones, once occupied by fisherman. I LOVE how even the village was maintained with preserving stone churches, markets & restaurants still existing instead of making it feel like 1 huge island resort. The rooms are designed beautifully yet simply but they too, do not forget the historical land they are built on - as even the colors and open space blends with the color of the surrounding stone. If you like a vacation and hotel decor that reminds you whether you are inside or outside your room, where you are...this hotel is for you!
Here is the review written by Hotel Chic...though I'm secretly hoping that one day I can write my own review of this Montenegro Village Gem.
I keep hearing travel insiders talking about Montenegro as an absolute wishlist destination. From these pictures you can see why this Connecticut-sized country is capturing everyone’s attention. Set on the Adriatic coastline in Eastern Europe, Montenegro boasts a magical pine covered mountainous landscape along with beautiful beaches and a sparkling green sea. To boot, it offers the old world charm and history of its picturesque red-roofed 15th century villages. Mountains, beach, history–an amazing combination.
Aman Resorts has just completed a four year undertaking to open Aman Sveti Stefan. On the tiny islet shown above and below, they have revived this incredibly unique hotel property located in a 15th-century village. (The original Sveti Stefan hotel was a hit in the 1950s with the likes of Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe, but it closed in the 90s). For this exceptional revival, the island’s original stone buildings and houses, which were once occupied by fisherman, were painstakingly renovated and preserved. What I love most is that they managed to keep the original character and architecture of this magical islet, while still creating a luxe hotel
There are 50 rooms and cottages on the island. The designers kept churches, markets, and restaurants on the island so guests feel as if they are staying in a quaint village rather than a typical hotel.
The resort also features the renovated Villa Milocer across the water which has 8 suites. If you want interiors that are feel entirely new, stay there. But the island accommodations below are much more unique.
Incredible. It’s all about the architecture in this heavenly bathsuite. The simple, clean lined furniture and fixtures compliment the neutral colors and natural materials nicely.
Not only is the destination unique, but it doesn't hurt that it's an Aman Resort which consistently goes over and above anything I could ever imagine in decor by always fitting organically into it's natural surroundings similar to a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Take me away Montenegro! Enjoy this beautiful weekend...XO
