Sveti Stefan
Sveti Stefan
Sveti Stefan stands out as one of Montenegro's most photographed and iconic spots. This small islet, connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, was once a simple fishing village but has been transformed into an exclusive resort area. The terracotta roofs contrasting with the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea create a picture-perfect scene that has become synonymous with the Montenegrin coastline.
The history of Sveti Stefan dates back to the 15th century when it was originally built as a fortress to defend against Ottoman attacks. Local families constructed homes inside the walls, creating the unique village-like appearance that remains today. In the 1950s, the entire island was converted into a luxury hotel complex, hosting numerous celebrities and royalty over the decades.
The beaches surrounding Sveti Stefan are among the most beautiful in Montenegro, with crystal-clear waters and pink sandy shores. While the island itself is now part of the Aman resort and generally accessible only to guests, the view from the mainland is equally spectacular. The area around Sveti Stefan also offers excellent dining options featuring fresh seafood and authentic Montenegrin cuisine, making it a perfect spot to experience the local flavor of this Adriatic paradise.
