Montenegro, meaning “Black Mountain”, has a fairy tale quality. This patchwork of shipwrecks, cobalt fjords, palaces and rocky paths is one of the last truly unspoilt enclaves in the Mediterranean, and an increasingly popular destination for luxury yacht charters. Its enchanting backdrop is home to a world class marina that has transformed the region into a top superyacht hotspot. The Bay of Kotor forms an idyllic nautical playground and the town of Kotor itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Nearby, at the end of a narrow causeway, lies the rocky islet of Sveti Stefan. In the 1950s this fortified village was converted entirely into a hotel and today it enjoys a renaissance as an Amanresorts spa retreat. For guests who enjoy dining ashore, this is one of the most rewarding stops during a Montenegro yacht charter. The Cigar Room offers Cuban cigars, vintage Armagnac and single malt whisky, while the nearby Queen’s Chair serves pan Adriatic cuisine with breathtaking views.
