As the first One&Only property in Europe, this sprawling complex of rooms, suites, and villas offers a sleek take on the architectural tradition of Venetian palazzi, as well as nods to Montenegrin culture through the likes of chandeliers crafted by local artisans—the tradition of glass blowing being another hangover from its days under Venice—and plenty of horses, the unofficial mascot of the country. (How else would you have made it up and down all those hills back in the day?) With its prime location at the mouth of the bay near the picturesque town of Herceg Novi, One&Only’s beachfront position and multiple swimming pools make it a no-brainer summer destination. But with its lavishly-outfitted, state-of-the-art spa and the fireplaces dotted around every room, there’s a compelling case to be made for the region as a year-round destination, too.
Indeed, what makes Montenegro so unique is the proximity of everything its 422-mile borders contain. (A recurring anecdote from locals is that you can swim on its pristine beaches in the morning, and within a few hours find yourself whizzing down its ski slopes.) Roughly the size of Connecticut but with one-sixth of its population, what the country lacks in size it makes up for in sheer variety, most notably when it comes to outdoor pursuits. Sailing, scuba diving, hiking, skiing, climbing, rafting; here, pretty much every adventurous activity you could think of is possible in world-beating surroundings and conditions, with the additional draw that you’ll often casually find yourself passing by a UNESCO-approved relic of European history while doing so.
