'At the birth of our planet,' claimed Lord Byron, 'the most beautiful encounter between land and sea must have happened at the Montenegrin littoral.' That might explain why the Serbs were so disappointed when the Montenegrins chose to go it alone in 2006. Overnight Serbia lost its complete coastline, and what a coastline it is - 200 miles of beaches (117 in total, if you like a good stat), coves, fjords, dramatic cliff faces and picture perfect medieval towns such as the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kotor. That should be enough to have you dreaming of Montenegro holidays, but the country's dramatic hinterland is also well worth exploration.

What you can find in Montenegro that you won't find anywhere else?

Sveti Stefan is a small island connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, it has been developed into the home of a luxurious hotel by award-winning Asian chain Aman (their first real venture into Europe). The former fishing village with heavily fortified walls was originally designed to ward off passing pirates and has remained exactly the same since its construction over 500 years ago.


Another of the main attractions of a luxury holiday in Montenegro is that the country offers some of the finest beaches in the Adriatic. Montenegro's shoreline has everything from secret rocky coves only accessible by boat, to large stretches of wide sandy beach. Bound by the clean, crystal clear waters of the Adriatic and with a backdrop of mountains, fields, olive groves and heavily scented pinewoods, this is one of the most appealing corners of the Mediterranean and is perfect for a beach holiday with a difference.


Inland Montenegro - and you must make the time to venture there - is home to dramatic rivers with excellent white water rafting potential, and the vast Lake Skadar, where you can paddle through lilypads on a kayak trip on the largest lake in the Balkans, which forms part of the border with Albania.
