Regent Porto Montenegro

Regent Porto Montenegro stands at the head of the Porto Montenegro superyacht marina in Tivat — a five-star hotel whose Venetian-inspired architecture, marina-front terraces and refined interiors have made it a defining address on the Adriatic since it opened. The public spaces are gracious and unhurried: a double-height lobby with a stone fireplace, a marina-view lounge for afternoon tea and cocktails, and a promenade of independent boutiques stretching from the front door.

Rooms and suites divide broadly between the historic Venezia wing and the contemporary Aqua wing. Venezia rooms feel like a refined Italian country hotel — soft palettes, custom furniture, classic mouldings — while Aqua rooms lean more contemporary, with clean lines and generous glazing onto the marina or the sea. All rooms have private balconies or terraces, marble bathrooms, Nespresso, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and the kind of quiet, well-drilled service that defines the brand.

The resort centres on two seawater pools — an infinity edge overlooking the marina and a family pool on the sea-view lawn — plus a private beach club a short water-taxi ride away, with a third pool, restaurant and attended sunbeds. The spa offers a full Espa treatment menu, hammam, sauna, indoor pool and fitness centre; yoga and Pilates are scheduled through the season.

Dining is one of the resort's signatures. The Regent Pool Club serves Mediterranean plates directly on the marina; Murano tackles refined Italian, with an outstanding cellar; and there is an all-day lounge, a poolside restaurant and 24-hour in-suite dining. The wider Porto Montenegro promenade adds a further concentration of independent restaurants and rooftop bars a two-minute walk from the door.

Location is exceptional. Tivat airport is ten minutes away, Kotor old town twenty minutes by road (or a short boat charter), and every Montenegrin coastal town is within an easy day trip. The concierge maintains long-standing relationships with private boat operators, licensed guides and helicopter services for wider excursions.
