At a Glance
With its sumptuous ambience, the One&Only Portonovi would be worth going to just to be pampered, but the real trump card is its location. Surrounded by the black mountains that give Montenegro its name, the 123-room property sits at the mouth of Boka Bay, an extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage site that is the only natural fjord in the Mediterranean. Be sure to take one of the property’s opulent boats out for an excursion to Kotor.
Of course, you could also spend a week just exploring all the treatments at the 43,000-square-foot Chenot Espace wellness center: perhaps cryotherapy or the immersive advanced detox program. The design of the property is over-the- top luxury, from elaborate crystal chandeliers to details like leather and walnut flooring in the rooms. The property is only a 45-minute drive from the Dubrovnik airport, so it makes an easy addition to a Croatia trip.
The Standout: The Panoramic Bayview Suite, with its spacious terrace and wrap-around views
