About Sveti Stefan

Sveti Stefan, perched on Montenegro’s dazzling Budva Riviera, is where dramatic coastal beauty meets timeless charm. With its iconic island resort and postcard-perfect beaches, it’s a dream destination—and the hotel options are just as enticing.

From the luxurious Aman resort on the island to more budget-friendly and family-friendly choices in the town across the sand bridge, there’s something for everyone. If you're after a design-focused experience, the newer town offers great options with the picturesque island as your backdrop. Whether you’re seeking luxury or a more affordable stay, Sveti Stefan has the perfect hotel for you!

Sveti Stefan, located just 5 km south of Budva, is a must-see with its stunning beaches on both sides, a scenic path through cypress trees, and a charming monastery. While there aren’t many shops or restaurants, nearby Budva offers plenty of options. Visitors can also explore the beautiful Milocer park, once the summer residence of the Karadjordjevic family, and enjoy hiking in the mountains above Sveti Stefan for panoramic views of the island. For history lovers, the medieval monasteries of Pastrovici, tucked away in the woods, offer a peaceful retreat.

Don't forget that the best places to stay in Sveti Stefan will be extremely busy during the peak summer months, so do yourself a favour and book early!
