Mediterranean Masterpieces

O ne&Only are famous for their dreamy tropical retreats, so the opening of the first European resort would need to be in a very special location. Welcome to One&Only Portonovi, a Venetian inspired masterpiece within the newly built Portonovi marina resort, at the mouth of Kotor Bay in Montenegro. The resort hotel is ultra-luxurious and unique, a modern take on Venetian architecture, with arcaded pastel-coloured facades, and unashamedly plush interiors. From the grand grey marble lobby, with antique Persian rugs and a modern bronze-boulder fountain, you get sweeping views down to the deep blue bay. And then there's the hotel's Chenot Espace medical spa, a destination in its own right. The hotel overlooks a beautifully manicured beach with kayaks, paddleboards, water polo and beach volleyball, and there's also an infinity pool rimmed by a wooden deck, lavender bushes and cypresses. With the marina nearby, you can also take private yacht charters or speedboat tours. Exploring the sights of this southern fjord is one of the key attractions to the region including the UNESCO listed town of Kotor and the twin islands of Perast. The accommodations are vast. comprising an open-plan bedroom and bathroom space, of equal size, wood-andmarble floors, a king-size bed and a glass-sided fireplace, visible from the bed, bathtub and the spacious terrace (with its own daybeds). An enticing variety of restaurants is spearheaded beachside with famed Italian chef, Giorgio Locatelli’s ‘Sabia’ restaurant delivering his superlative take on the very best Italian dishes.
