Aman Sveti Stefan

Utterly unique, as one would expect from the Aman group, this exceptional hotel is set on its very own private island in the Adriatic Sea.

What was once a 15th-century fishing village has now been transformed into a chic resort with some 58 ‘dwellings’. This sleek coastal retreat is attached to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, with lots of original stone, 600-year-old tiled roofs and shady courtyards joined by cobbled lanes.

Each of the rooms offers an exclusive space in which to recline in style, meaning our Travel Specialists can match you to your perfect suite; whether your preference is a sea view, large open terrace or even the stunning Sveti Stefan Suite which occupies space over two floors and boasts its own private swimming pool. There is also the Villa Milocer, where you can book a private suite or the property in its entirety. Once the summer residence of Queen Marija Karadordevic, this stunning villa is situated on the mainland above Milocer Beach and offers access to Queen’s Beach in a neighbouring cove.

Aman Sveti Stefan guests can choose to relax at the resort’s completely private beach, or head to two others which are predominantly used by guests of the hotel. During the peak holiday season, there is also a kids’ club and babysitting service to ensure this resort offers family-friendly appeal.

Dining is exceptional, with choices ranging from the main restaurant showcasing the best of the region’s ingredients to the laid-back vibe in the alfresco Piazza. As one expects from an Aman property the spa experience is sublime; set on the mainland’s 32-hectare estate, the 1,600 square-metre spa follows a holistic, personalised approach to wellbeing.
