The Chedi Luštica Bay may sit at the heart of a new marina village, but don’t mistake it for anything cookie-cutter. As part of the visionary Luštica Bay development—and a proud member of the Leading Hotels of the World—it’s modern Montenegro done with real style: all clean lines, blonde wood, and floor-to-ceiling windows that seem to flirt with the horizon. Built into the curve of the bay, it’s the kind of place where days drift easily between slow breakfasts, sea swims, and late lunches that turn into sundowners. There’s an ease to it—quiet luxury without the costume.

The setting is part of the charm. The Luštica Peninsula feels wonderfully remote, yet you’re just a short drive from Tivat and Kotor (not that you’ll be rushing to leave). The private beach is pristine, the spa is slick, and the beach club scene hums with just the right amount of energy. It’s chic, but it doesn’t try too hard. Interiors lean minimal but warm, more “Malibu coast” than Montenegrin palace, and that’s the point—this is where you come to exhale, not pose.

The Chedi Luštica Bay is a clever choice for couples who like their coastal escapes with a dose of contemporary calm—and for families who want style without sacrificing space or sanity. It’s proof that you don’t need centuries of history to get Montenegro very, very right.
