quotes from the media

“Cypresses rise up from among the terracotta roofs of ancient stone buildings; passageways lead this way and that to pretty piazzas and pools, and to viewpoints that look out accross the blue-green Adriatic and the dramatic coastline of Montenegro.' says Gold List contributor Laura Fowler.”

“If I had to design the perfect holiday destination it could look like this: the homely villa with its beautiful proportions and the charming wisteria terrace overlooking a bay, perfectly curved like a half moon. … The pure Aman-style is so ‘anti-bling’ and has such a calming effect that it should be available by recipe.”

"It's only as you turn off the busy highways to begin the steep descent into the coastal plin that the heart begins to beat just a little faster, and just as you're beginning to wonder if you're ever going to arrive, you catch glimpses of Aman Sveti Stefan's high fortified stone walls and its distinctive russet-hued roofs flashing between the trees. And then, almost without warning, you get your first panoramic view of the resort and you catch your breath at its almost fairy-tale quality.

(...) set in a bijou bay with its own private beach is Villa Milocer - a stately dacha-like manse that was once the summer residence of the former queen and which is now part of the resort. .... It's a graceful bookend to an already otherworldly resort."

On a clear cloudless day, the dappled sunlight dancing on the sea is like the explosion of a million paparazzi flashbulbs. As Amanresorts go, the Aman Sveti Stefan with its incredible back story and sensational setting was always going to have blockbuster written all over it.”

“Walking up the causeway, gazing up at the rocks and rustic stone walls that ring the island, it looks as if it’s guarding a secret at its centre…”
“But if the glitz has been replaced by restrained tones, make no mistake – it’s still for the wealthy, it’s just that now it’s stealthy.”

"車で近付くにつれて、これほど胸が高鳴るリゾートも珍しい。茜色と象牙色の積み木細工を重ねたような、なんとも見事な集合体ではないか。小島全体でひとつの施設を形づくるという、センスの良さと類まれなる贅沢さ。アマンリゾートが成し得た奇跡の出現である。"
“As our car approaches the resort my heart beat has increased in expectation, it is an unusual experience for me. It is a wonderful village with row upon row of red terracotta roofed and stone buildings. It is the good sense to form one institution in the whole Island and rare luxury. It is the miraculous appearance that Aman was able to create.”
