OneandOnly Portonovi - Montenegro

Set on the stunning shores of Montenegro's Boka Bay, One&Only Portonovi is a luxurious wellness resort. It offers an outstanding selection of facilities, including Chenot Espace, which delivers personalised treatments based on the renowned Chenot Method, nine swimming pools, including family pools, an adult-only pool and an indoor spa pool, and a private stretch of sandy beach. There’s a range of activities to try, including tennis, yoga and Pilates sessions, alongside the 24-hour gym that’s fully equipped with state-of-the-art fitness machines. Three waterfront restaurants serve Montenegrin specialities, authentic Italian dishes and Japanese-Mediterranean fusion cuisine, while the sumptuous lounge bar, Caminetti, is the perfect spot for light bites and post-dinner drinks. Rooms and suites are exceptionally spacious and feature a range of high-end amenities, many with expansive terraces overlooking the bay. Families are well catered for with the two-bedroom interconnecting rooms and a kids’ club for children aged three to twelve.

This high-end resort occupies a prime position beside the shimmering waters of Boka Bay, sheltered between the dramatic peaks of Mount Orjen and Mount Lovcen. The elegant Portonovi Marina surrounds the resort, lined with restaurants, boutiques and cafes, while the historic town of Herceg Novi is around four miles away, with stone stairways, lively squares and centuries-old fortresses. The UNESCO-listed old town of Kotor is 14 miles east around the bay, with medieval churches, cobblestone lanes and ancient city walls reflecting centuries of Venetian influence. Dubrovnik's UNESCO-listed Old Town is 34 miles away, brimming with beautifully preserved architecture and fortress-like city walls that stretch just over a mile around the centre. Tivat Airport is around ten miles from the resort, while Dubrovnik Airport is approximately 21 miles away.

Each room and suite has been designed in a calming palette of taupe, beige and grey, complemented by rich red and blue soft furnishings. They exude understated elegance and feature an open-plan bedroom, wood and marble floors, a sumptuous king-size bed and a marble-topped desk. Bathrooms are equally impressive, spa-like sanctuaries, with deep soaking baths, oversized rainfall showers concealed by a decorative glass screen and generous dressing areas with a chaise-longue. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and open onto a furnished balcony or terrace offering breathtaking views of the mountains, gardens, Boka Bay or Portonovi.
