Sveti Stefan

Sveti Stefan is the image of Montenegro known around the world: a fifteenth-century fortified village on an islet, joined to the shore by a narrow sandbar, with pink beaches on either side. Around it lie the historic park of Miločer, the elegant bay of Pržno and green hillsides scattered with villas.

Why Sveti Stefan

This short stretch of coast has long been the most exclusive address in the country, a favourite of statesmen, actors and royalty since the twentieth century. Very little land remains, and the planning rules protect the views that make it famous. Properties here hold their value through cycles and attract buyers who are looking for discretion as much as for a sea view.

Villas in Blizikuće, Kamenovo and the hills above Sveti Stefan, as well as a small number of apartments in Pržno, make up most of the market. The best homes are often sold privately, without public listings.

The season

The season runs from May to October. In high summer the coves are lively and sophisticated; in spring and autumn the area becomes serene, ideal for owners who want the coast without the crowds.

Where to buy

• Pržno and Miločer for elegance: apartments and villas by a sheltered bay surrounded by pines.
• Sveti Stefan hillside for the view: villas looking directly over the island.
• Blizikuće and Kamenovo for beaches: modern homes above two of the Riviera's finest coves.
• Rijeka Reževići for seclusion: a quiet village with olive groves and old stone houses.

Living here

You are ten minutes from Budva and its services, twenty-five minutes from Tivat airport, and yet the mood is entirely different: walking paths along the coast, long lunches by the water and nights that are calm and dark.

Our view

In Sveti Stefan the best opportunities are rarely advertised. Our network gives you access to off-market villas, and our checks make sure the views you buy are views you keep. This is a market for clients who value privacy, and we work accordingly.
