Overview

Of all the sights along the Adriatic shoreline, Sveti Stefan (小胁械褌懈 小褌械褎邪薪) is the most extraordinary. A fortified island village connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, its photogenic jumble of 15th-century stone villas overlooks an impeccable pink-sand beach and tempting turquoise waters. The island was nationalised in the 1950s and is now part of the luxurious Aman resort, meaning it鈥檚 off-limits to all but paying guests. But ogling comes for free; Sveti Stefan has unsurprisingly been named as Montenegro鈥檚 most photographed site.
