MagazineThis small unassuming country, barely the size of Northern Ireland, has been existing quietly under the radar of most travel-hungry holidaymakers for a long time. Montenegro has been consistently over-shadowed by the more well-known and attention seeking destinations of the Adriatic and Mediterranean, such as Croatia, Greece and Italy. After years of impressive progress with some hugely ambitious leisure mega-projects, the small country has raised the benchmark on luxury developments and is now stealing the spotlight from its European neighbours.
Natural splendour
Montenegro has an enormous foundation of organic beauty and diverse geography, with miles of beautiful coastline, hundreds of beaches and magnificent mountains towering over dramatic fjords. The country’s rich and varied history has created charming medieval towns and villages that are overflowing with a unique blend of cultural influences. The petite country proudly showcases a unique array of cuisine reflecting its interesting past with a fusion of Italian, Hungarian and Turkish influences.
In recent years there has been an influx of investment in all the right places, which is now reflected in the increase of luxury properties and hotels along with the substantial growth of new restaurants, shopping malls and sporting facilities. Perhaps the most significant development that has truly altered the face of Montenegro, is the sizable enhancement of existing marinas and total construction of new marina ports and port towns that have quickly made Montenegro the world’s newest yachting utopia. Mimicking traditional fishing villages that are dotted along the Adriatic coast, Luštica Bay is the biggest and latest port development that is still in the midst of further expansion. Once completed it will provide 2 first-class marinas that offer berth with 24-hour assistance, unparalleled 5-star services and exclusive yacht club access. The location is pegged to become an extremely popular corner of the world for owners and captains of mega yachts alike.
