On Montenegro’s Adriatic coast, the verdant islet of Sveti Stefan sits across a sparkling bay from Villa Miločer, a stone mansion set on an expansive oceanfront estate that once served as the summer residence of Queen Marija Karađorđević. Together with the villa and its newly built freestanding Aman Spa, the islet and its centuries-old fortified village form the resort Aman Sveti Stefan. Guests can choose from 50 individually styled rooms, cottages and suites on the island, as well as eight elegant suites in the villa.
At the heart of the village, an open-air piazza hosts several dining options: Enoteca offers tapas and drinks, Taverna serves Mediterranean specialties, and the Antipasti Bar provides a relaxed, casual setting. The resort’s signature restaurant, Aman, highlights Montenegrin dishes alongside international cuisine, emphasizing fresh local ingredients and seasonal flavors.
The island spa is sheltered on three sides by woodland and fronts the sheltered Queen’s Beach. Treatments use gentle, chemical-free skincare products and are delivered in one of four peaceful treatment rooms with fireplaces or in one of six secluded spa cottages dotted around the island. The spa complex includes four private relaxation terraces overlooking landscaped gardens and a reflective pond, a heated indoor-outdoor pool encased in glass, a yoga studio offering daily complimentary classes, a well-equipped fitness center, a Pilates studio with authentic reformers, and a full-service salon. A hydrotherapy area features three saunas, steam showers and three cold plunge pools for restorative contrast therapy.
The combination of historic architecture, thoughtful restoration and contemporary amenities creates a tranquil retreat where guests can enjoy seaside walks, fine dining and restorative spa experiences, all set within a distinctive Adriatic landscape.
