One and Only Montenegro

The One&Only Montenegro without a doubt belongs in the ultra-luxury category of accommodation. There are few if any hotels and resorts in Montenegro that can rival this truly amazing hotel.

The One&Only brand has established itself globally as a true and unique lifestyle resort operator with hotels in exotic destinations such as in the Maldives, Mauritius, and Australia.

The Location

The pristine One and Only Portonovi sits at the entrance to Boka Bay, a mere 15-minute drive from Herceg Novi and one hour away from Kotor and Tivat Airport. Dubrovnik in Croatia is also not too far – just 50 kilometers.

The 238-berth Portonovi Marina can accommodate yachts of up to 120 meters in length. It is a member of the D-Marin Global Network. Walking around the marina, you will see dozens of cafes, shops, bars, and dining options. The stunning location can probably only be rivaled by Porto Montenegro – the first superyacht marina project in Montenegro.

The Hotel Facilities

One of the most breathtaking features of the One&Only is its private white-sand beach with incredible views of the bay area. The private beach area extends seamlessly to the outdoor pools and cultivated gardens.

In total, there are 6 secluded private sparkling pools and five exclusive pools reserved for suite guests. The beach is very quiet and not crowded which makes for a great experience.

Should the weather not allow for swimming or relaxing outdoors, you can still take advantage of the gorgeous and incredibly picturesque indoor pool.

The following facilities are complimentary for hotel guests:

• Indoor Pool
• Relaxation Pavillon
• Sauna
• Steam Room

Tipsarevic Luxury Tennis Academy

The Tipsarevic tennis club challenges you to bring your tennis game up to date. You can choose to either get coached by the excellent Jaroslaw Grela or try your luck against one ATP-level player. You don’t have to be a prodigy player yourself: players of skill levels can expect world-class training standards.

It’s great that much has been invested into the professional-grade floodlit tennis courts. Together with the first-class tennis equipment, you can now experience the courts the same way as career players on television. Please find below an overview of the current prices.

Beach Sports

It’s nice to unwind at the gorgeous outdoor pool landscape but the crystal-clear waters of Boka Bay are just as amazing. You can venture out all by yourself and glide through the warm waters and let yourself float on the salty and gentle waves.

You can also ask the staff of the resort to provide you with a kayak or SUP. The waters in the Bay of Kotor are usually calm and it makes up for a great adventure exploring the surrounding villages by sea. In the evening hours before the sun disappears behind the mountains, it’s the best time for a game of badminton or volleyball.

KidsOnly & One Tribe

If you want to take some time out to enjoy the resort on your own or with your partner, you can leave your children to the trained caregivers and entertainers of KidsOnly and One Tribe.

KidsOnly is open for younger travelers from 3 to 12 years of age. One Tribe serves teens from 13 to 17 years of age. These two clubs offer supervised child entertainment (indoor and outdoor) and stay open into the evening until 9 pm.

As part of the programs, your children can take swimming and tennis lessons (reservation required) and engage in the following activities among others:

• Raft and Flag Building
• Watersports
• Treasure Hunts
• Boka Bay Detectives
• Table Tennis & Badminton Tournaments
• Movie & Game Show nights
• Facepaint workshops
• Storytelling experience

Info: The resort also offers babysitting services within your room, suite, or villa. Children need to be above the age of six months.

Fitness Center

As you would expect from an ultra-luxury resort, the fitness center is large and modern and has the latest equipment by Technogym. Private one-on-one sessions with personal trainers are also available. Besides training on the machines, you can partake in many classes: from yoga to boxing and Systema Martial Arts, there is something for everyone.

Marvels of the Mountain Hike

The One&Only Montenegro takes your active holiday requirements seriously. From now on, you can embark on a one-of-its-kind hiking journey with the Montenegrin ultra-trail runner and mountaineer Sasa Kulinovic.

He will guide you up to the marvelous Mount Orjen, a mountain that is deeply entrenched in the local psyche with its countless legends and myths. Sasa is a good storyteller so it will be entertaining. You will likely remember this scenic trip for a long time to come.

Through the Eyes of Marshal Tito

Montenegro was once part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia that was led by the charismatic strongman ‘Marshal Tito’. If classic and vintage cars appeal to you and you want to experience the beautiful Montenegrin coastal roads as Marshal Tito did half a century ago, this tour is for you.

The four-hour drive to Tito’s former ‘Villa Galeb’ in Igalo will take you past the coastal villages of the Bay of Kotor. The scenic trip includes a guided visit to Tito’s villa and an ensuing wine tasting.

Bars & Restaurants

Being a hotel guest at the truly marvelous One&Only Portonovi, you can choose from four bars and restaurants in total. 

We aim to reflect the flavors and culture of Montenegro and focus on beautifully executed, seasonal dishes.

Chef Chris Mare

Sabia by Giorgio Locatelli

Whether you are craving Pasta, Carpaccio, or Brodetto di Pesce, Sabia is the perfect fine Italian dining establishment to satiate your cravings.

At Sabia, you will find the perfect spot to admire the staggering sunset in any season — whether alone or in tandem with loved ones — while you enjoy real Southern Italian Cuisine with locally-sourced vegetables and seafood.

It carefully builds on Mediterranean culinary traditions to create astonishing modern interpretations. The restaurant includes a live pasta-making section, a show kitchen, and a raw bar serving delicacies such as Carpaccio and raw langoustines.

Their homemade whole wheat pasta with a diverse set of toppings can please the palates of even the more demanding guests. The ‘Spgaghettoni al polpo’ is an excellent choice. The Gnocchi with rabbit ragout is superb as well.

You can wash the fresh seafood dishes down with one of their excellent Italian Chardonnays; the ragout goes well with a Cabernet Sauvignon. Later that evening, you might consider one of their hand-crafted cocktails such as the ‘Bosiljak Martini’ with Basil and Ginger.

Opening Hours:
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
Lunch: 12 pm –3 pm
Dinner: 6 pm – 10 pm

Dress Code:
Casual, no sleeveless shirts, and no swimwear.

La Veranda

La Veranda is the resort’s main restaurant serving rich and authentic Montenegrin cuisine with a modern twist. Chef Goran overviews the crafting of locally-inspired Mediterranean dishes. He also welcomes interested guests into his open kitchen to showcase how he prepares the food with care and attention.

The menu features a selection of the finest grilled meat and a small variety of popular local main courses such as the Grass-fed Lamb in yogurt or the catch-of-the-day seafood dish.

During breakfast time, you can serve yourself from the rich buffet or order various fresh eggs and healthy vegan options a la carte. These options include the Vegan Super Bowl and Avocado on Toast. Salmon Bagel, and the fabulous Shakshuka.

La Veranda also offers meal choices according to the Chenot Diet for guests who partake in the Chenot treatment programs. Diet is one of the foundations and is crucial for revitalizing and rejuvenating the body. There are lighter menu items specifically for guests following the Chenot plans.

The restaurant also comes with an excellent selection of regional and European wine varieties. To reinforce your apprehension, and improve your wine knowledge, you can embark on a wine-tasting experience in the ‘Providore Cellar’. The restaurant’s head sommelier Rafaela is a real wine connoisseur and well-versed in the different types of wines and their background stories.

Daily | 3 pm – 5 pm | 50 – 150€

Tapasake Club

What can you expect at the newly-opened Tapasake Club? The Tapasake very tastefully combines Peruvian with Asian cuisine in a sophisticated pool club ambient. So, while enjoying your contemporary Japanese or Peruvian dish, you can overlook Kotor Bay while the resident DJ is playing jazzy and funky tunes in the background. Luckily it is not too intrusive.

The Menu

In a typical fusion manner, the food menu is rather chaotic. You can choose between Tacos, Ceviche, Tempura, Sashimi, and Sushi. Listed as the main course are the following dishes.

At the sake and cocktail bar, you will encounter a blend of classical and innovative cocktails blending Mediterranean scents with Japanese craftmanship. You can easily spend a whole day at the Tapasake Club edging back and forth between the pool, restaurant, and cocktail bar. 

Tip: Try the refreshing Negroni with Japanese Gin.

Caminetti – Lobby and Cocktail Bar

The Caminetti is the ideal stopover for a quick bite and aperitif before dinner. Warm up your senses with their excellent caviar selection that includes Ars Italica, Oscietra, and Sevruga caviar. 

Ever tried prawn tartar or lobster with homemade truffle fondue? Now you got the chance. Wash it down with some Louis Roederer champagne and the evening is yours.
