Nestled within the within the mountainous and dramatic Boka Bay, Montenegro, this luxury resort offers approximately 113 keys comprising guestrooms, suites, and exclusive hotel villas. Designed to embrace its exceptional waterfront setting, the resort provides an immersive destination defined by refined hospitality and world-class amenities. Facilities include four distinctive dining venues such as a lounge bar, an all-day dining
restaurant, two specialty restaurants; Tapasake Restauran and Sabia Restaurant by Michelin-star chef Locatelli, and the Chenot Swiss medical spa. Additional offerings include a retail boutique, kid’s club, tennis club, and a collection of branded residential villas designed to the high standards established by Kezner.

The design celebrates understated, timeless elegance, allowing architecture and interiors to frame the views of Boka Bay. Inspired by the region’s historic monastic architecture, the design language reinterprets traditional forms into a contemporary expression suited for today’s traveler. Barrel vaulted ceilings with intricate wood marquetry crown the main lobby, including a signature sculptural lighting installation inspired by Montenegro’s national flower, the mimosa while oversized heaths, floats beneath the ceilings, accompanied by
floral-embroidered fabrics layered with theatrical sheers. At the heart of the lobby, tumbled aged stone floors, and a dramatic boulder sculpture referencing the surrounding mountainous landscape marks the arrival moment.

These elements are balanced by clean modern detailing and carefully curated regional artwork that introduces local character with a light touch of playfulness. Together, these elements create a space that is both grand and welcoming, inviting guests to experience the beauty, culture, and serenity of Boka Bay.
