Aman Sveti Stefan - Luxury Resort

Warm greetings from Aman Sveti Stefan. Once a fortified settlement and fishing village dating from the 15th century, Amanresorts has thoughtfully restored it while preserving the island's historic character as it existed for centuries, with the village remaining within the hotel complex. Across the bay lies Villa Miločer, the mainland component of Aman Sveti Stefan, now in its third season of operation. This elegant villa was formerly the residence of Queen Marija Karađorđević. Aman Sveti Stefan offers guests 58 accommodation units: 50 rooms, apartments and cottages on the island, plus 8 apartments at Villa Miločer, alongside a diverse selection of restaurants in a unique setting. Piazza is the heart and soul of the island—an open plaza offering numerous dining venues including the Taverna, Enoteca, Pasticceria and Antipasti bar. The waterfront also features several restaurants within the Aman Sveti Stefan complex: the enchanting Queen's Throne restaurant perched on the cliff, the casual Maslina restaurant directly on the shore, and the relaxing Beach Cafe, all available for reservations for lunch, dinner and special events. Within Villa Miločer there is a dining room (restaurant), and outside a wisteria-covered loggia also provides an elegant setting for lunch or dinner.

About the area

The stretch of coast between Pržno and Sveti Stefan is the most carefully protected on the Montenegrin riviera, and its centrepiece is the Miločer park — a few hectares of Aleppo pine, cypress, agave and Mediterranean shrubbery planted around the summer residence of Queen Marija Karađorđević in the 1930s. A shaded shoreline path runs through it, linking the small bays that made the area a royal retreat long before it was a resort: Kraljičina plaža, the Queen's Beach, and the King's Beach beyond it, both fine reddish sand in coves where the pines come right down to the water.

The islet itself, tied to the mainland by its narrow sandy causeway, began as a fifteenth-century fortified fishing village of some forty stone houses. Its lanes, squares and small churches survive within the walls, which is what makes the silhouette so unmistakable from the coast road above and from the viewpoints on the hillsides behind. Inland, footpaths climb through olive terraces to the monastery of Praskvica, long tied to the Paštrovići clan who governed this stretch of coast under their own assembly and laws. Budva and its old town are around ten minutes north, Petrovac a similar distance south, and Tivat airport roughly forty minutes by road.
