Overview

Set on the shores of Boka Bay near Herceg Novi, One&Only Portonovi combines a grand waterfront setting with contemporary resort design, expansive rooms, suites and villas, and a strong focus on dining, wellness and time on the water.

Its appeal is the combination of scenery and range: guests can move from a sea-facing terrace to Chenot Espace, linger over Mediterranean–Japanese or Italian dining, or head out into the bay by yacht. Families are well served by connecting accommodation and curated activities, while couples and wellness-focused travellers can build a much quieter stay around the resort’s waterfront setting.

For travellers planning a Montenegro coast itinerary, the resort also works as a polished base for exploring Herceg Novi, Kotor, Perast, Mount Orjen and, with border-crossing time in mind, Dubrovnik.

Our Take

One&Only Portonovi stands out for travellers who want a polished luxury resort without giving up the drama and character of Montenegro’s coast. The combination of Boka Bay views, expansive accommodation, destination dining and the Chenot Espace wellness centre gives it more depth than a simple fly-and-flop beach stay.

It looks particularly compelling for couples, families and wellness-focused travellers who will use the resort’s facilities rather than simply treating it as a base. For a more intimate, low-key boutique experience, its scale and level of service may feel more elaborate than necessary.
