Montenegro is a Balkan jewel in the south Adriatic sea, heralded as the new playground for the world’s elite. It isn’t easy to find so much natural beauty in such a compact area, with mild beaches, clear lakes, fast rivers and striking mountains. Take long morning walks along the beautiful Adriatic coast, have lunch beside Lake Skadar or enjoy an evening hike in the mountains.
There is something effortlessly glamorous about speeding across an azure sea in a vintage motorboat arranged by Defoes Lifestyle. With the sea flanked by mountains and terracotta-roofed villages huddle by the shore. The ride from the gleaming marina of Porto Montenegro into the legendary Bay of Kotor is spectacular. The Bay of Kotor is one of the world’s finest natural harbours, tucked between the mountains of Montenegro.
Porto Montenegro is an all-encompassing resort of fine hotels, luxury apartments, eateries, shops and a glitzy marina, with around 600 yacht berths and waters deep enough to accommodate superyachts. A holiday hotspot for those who enjoy the finer things. Defoes Lifestyle will arrange every aspect of your trip, ensuring the most stylish of stays.

Things To Do
Our Lady of the Rocks
Our Lady of the Rocks is one of two islets off the coast of Perast in the Bay of Kotor and is an artificial island created with rocks and by sinking old, seized ships loaded with rocks. A custom known as fašinada remains to this day. On the 22nd of July every year, at sunset, citizens of Perast take their boats and throw rocks into the sea.
OSTROG MONASTERY
The Monastery of Ostrog is a monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church, placed against a near vertical background, high up in the large rock of Ostroška Greda, dedicated to Saint Basil of Ostrog, who is buried there. There is a superb view of the Bjelopavlići plain from the monastery founded in the 17th century.
