Boka Bay, Montenegro | One&Only Portonovi
One&Only Portonovi: Adriatic Elegance on Boka Bay
Set along the dramatic coastline of Montenegro’s Boka Bay—where the sapphire Adriatic meets pine-clad mountains—One&Only Portonovi is the first European resort from the celebrated One&Only brand. This secluded sanctuary blends Venetian-inspired grandeur with contemporary sophistication, offering an elevated Riviera-style retreat that is both familiar and entirely unexpected.
Patrons discover a timeless haven built around a restored 1930s Mediterranean-style clubhouse, complete with original arches, vaulted ceilings, and vaulted interior courtyards. Behind the historic façade rise elegant new wings and private villas that unfurl toward the bay’s crystal waters.
As a preferred partner of One&Only, we present an experience defined by distinct authenticity, understated glamor, and curated ease—a hotel experience that feels like entering a stylish home by the sea.
Harmonious Architecture, Human Scale
One&Only Portonovi introduces subtle grandeur in a setting that feels personal. Designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy, the resort pays homage to Montenegrin coastal villages through its use of traditional materials—stone, stucco, timber—and modernist silhouettes. The effect is quietly luxurious, never ostentatious.
Restored original buildings serve as the heart of the experience: a central reception, Caminetti Bar, and the Lido-style La Veranda restaurant occupy vaulted rooms that recall the energy of an elegant, midsummer evening in Boka Bay. New wings offer gracious suites and rooms, while the signature villa collection—most notably the four-bedroom Villa Lovćen—provides exclusive privacy with panoramic terraces and private pools.
The sense of arrival is thoughtful: discreet driveways, sea-view pools, olive-draped walkways, and subtle lighting that guides you toward discovery rather than performance.
Room for Life by the Sea
Every suite, room, and private villa at Portonovi is positioned to make the bay feel liquid—something you move with rather than view.
