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.

Wellness — Chenot Espace
Chenot Espace is a major part of the resort experience, combining personalised diagnostics with hydrotherapy, aesthetics, traditional treatments, advanced technology, fitness and structured wellness programmes based on the Chenot Method.
Experiences & What to Do
Boka Bay is a natural playground for yacht trips and watersports. On land, the resort can arrange experiences around Herceg Novi, Kotor and Perast, Mount Orjen and wider Montenegro, while Dubrovnik is also offered as a cross-border day trip.
Location & Getting There
One&Only Portonovi sits on Boka Bay near Herceg Novi, close to the Croatian border. The two most convenient international gateways are Tivat and Dubrovnik airports.
Actual driving time can vary considerably with the season, ferry operations, traffic and border queues, particularly when arriving from Dubrovnik.
The location makes the resort appealing both as a self-contained waterfront stay and as a base for exploring the bay’s historic towns and mountain landscapes.

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.
