Croatia & MontenegroOf red roofs, boat trips, and rugged mountains

Say goodbye to the beauties of Dubrovnik and enjoy the breathtaking views from above during a 20-minute helicopter flight to Montenegro. Explore the surrounding area, enjoy the amenities of your Grand Perast hotel, and savor the local cuisine. How about a bike tour past the natural beauty and rocky villages of the Lustica Peninsula? Treat yourself to regional products at a local family's home.

There are exceptional hiking opportunities in Lovcen National Park, where you can visit the famous mausoleum of Petar Petrovic Njegos II at the summit of Mount Lovcen. In the naturally beautiful surroundings of Lake Skadar, time seems to have stood still: here, a tour follows an old caravan route to the ruins of an Ottoman bridge, the village of Dupilo, and on to the unspoiled surroundings of waterfalls and natural springs. Take a jeep ride through breathtaking scenery or a boat trip to a small island and the village of Donji Murici, whose medieval monastery is inhabited and maintained by nuns.

Drive your rental car or take your preferred transfer for about 35 minutes along the beautiful coast to your next destination, Herceg Novi, to spend the next few days on the Montenegrin Adriatic. Located on a magnificent bay, enjoy exclusive comfort, culinary delights, and wellness of the highest standard at One&Only Portonovi. The small town of Herceg Novi is a beauty and is considered a jewel of the Adriatic. Enjoy a wonderful beach vacation on the beautiful private sandy beach or at one of no fewer than six inviting pools.

You can enjoy sporting activities on one of the tennis courts or go windsurfing. You also have the opportunity to explore the coast on a luxury yacht or speedboat. From Portonovi, you can take further trips to towns such as Kotor.

Or you can take advantage of the many hiking trails right on your doorstep. Pamper yourself at the Chenot Espace hotel with wellness treatments tailored specifically to your needs. Enjoy the restaurants in the surrounding area or at the hotel. At One&Only, you can enjoy culinary specialties prepared by Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli. Drive to Tivat or Dubrovnik Airport and begin your return journey from there.

Tip: If you like to drive yourself, we can organize a rental car for you. This will give you flexibility once you arrive.

At the end of your journey, a place awaits you that combines conscious tranquility with extraordinary history. Mamula Island lies like a silent guardian at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor – a small, circular island crowned by a historic 19th-century fortress, which today houses a unique hideaway known as Mamula Island by Banyan Tree. After arriving by boat, a slow-paced island experience begins here. The coming days are all about arriving, letting go, and enjoying. Walks along the old fortress walls open up ever-changing views of the open sea and the rugged mountains of Montenegro. The crystal-clear water invites you to swim, kayak, or stand-up paddle directly from the island.

Between the sea and the sky, you will find time for yourself: with yoga in the morning, relaxing hours on the bathing platforms, or in the Banyan Tree Spa, where saunas, steam baths, and soothing treatments bring peace to body and mind. The resort's cuisine combines Mediterranean lightness with regional flavors – whether during a relaxed lunch by the water or a stylish dinner with a view of the sunset. Mamula Island is not a classic beach destination, but a conscious retreat where you can reflect on the impressions of your trip and experience Montenegro from its quiet, elegant side.
