Positioned on Montenegro’s majestic Boka Bay, a Unesco world heritage site, One&Only Portonovi offers a collection of 10 homes that are the first of their kind in Europe.
With open-plan layouts, natural materials and Mediterranean style coming together in harmony, the beachfront villas have been designed with no expense spared. Overlooking a dramatic coastline of mountains and soothing waters, the homes are situated within Portonovi village; a 64-acre luxury destination complete with world-class restaurants as well as skiing and wellness facilities.
Designed by multi-award-winning Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston International Architects, with interiors by leading global design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), you can choose either a three- or four-bedroom villa, with indoor/outdoor living at their core. The ideal setting for both entertaining and family living, the contemporary interiors and light-filled rooms give the homes an airy feel. There is also a personal concierge who will oversee everything from general care of the home to arranging private chefs and spa services.
