Designed by famous architect Jean-Michel Gathy and his team from Denniston International Architects, One&Only Portonovi is located at the entrance of Boka Bay, one of the most stunning bays in Montenegro, where guests can journey between the many secluded beaches and ancient towns that have preserved their original architecture and charm with the resort’s own private boat.

Taking cues from the culture, history and geography of the destination, the hotel has been designed to incorporate the grand façades, majestic colonnades, and gabled terracotta rooftops, symbolic of Montenegrin architecture. Interiors are elegantly styled, inspired by the baroque palazzos of Kotor, and the nearby Venetian-built port of Perast.
