Tucked into the wooded mountainside of the Budva Riviera coastline and looking eastward over the Adriatic Sea, the resort offers guestsbreathtaking views from each of the 14 Seaview Suites and eight Seaview Luxury Villas, each complete with private pool.
The stunning resort is home to a blissful Wellness and Renewal Spa perfect for relaxation, and a private Beach Club lapped by the turquoise waters. Guests can make memories on special excursions such as helicopter rides, speedboat charters or day trips to nearby Bay of Kotor – UNESCO World Heritage site and nearby national parks.
3. Step Inside A Real Life FairyTale
Montenegro is home to several enchanting castles where it feels like time has stopped. Some of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast can be found in Montenegro, with architectural influences ranging from Roman to Byzantine, Ottoman to Venetian, drawn from the country's colourful history. The Budva Citadel, less than eight miles from Ananti, passed through the hands of the Romans, the Venetian Republic and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, leaving it a perfect example of the country's fascinating history. Feel like a real life princess or 'King of the Castle' wandering the ancient walls.
4. Soak Up Cosmopolitan Glamour In Tivat
Porto Montenegro is a luxury marina located in nearby Tivat and offers a stylish destination for shopping, lunch and dinner, or to people watch and soak up the vibrant atmosphere. Marvel at the sleek superyachts moored in the marina, hit the Fashion Gallery for some retail therapy and toast the sunset with a glass of bubbly before settling down for dinner at one of the restaurants, that offer world cuisine including Japanese, Italian and Mediterranean fine dining.
