The Chedi Lustica Bay

Style

Eco-minded, all-frills resort

Setting

Bay watch

The Chedi Lustica Bay instantly wows with its glass-walled contemporary good looks and swish marina setting. Yes, a bar built into the cliffs and several sceney restaurants are sure to impress, along with a photoshoot-worthy spa and the hotel’s idyllic strip of beach. But there’s considerable sustainability to its raft of luxe frills, too, with an Earth-kind set-up and community ties that look to protect the pristine beauty of its magical Montenegran locale.

Our Favourite Rooms

Floor-to-ceiling windows show off the sea to varying degrees in most rooms, though some get a foresty-mountain backdrop instead: pick one with a bay view and watch the ships come in. Kitchenettes are a handy/redundant feature in some of the rooms, depending on your desire to cook or be cooked for, but we're sure almost all guests will appreciate the curated collection of wines.

Poolside

There are two: an infinity-edged outdoor offering flanked on three sides by the hotel buildings, so you get all the views but none of the wind. Another awaits in the spa. The main pool is open between 9am and 9pm; the indoor one’s hours are 8am to 9pm (under-16s are welcome between 9am to 5pm; after that it's adults only).

Spa

The Chedi Spa has four treatment rooms for soothing Asian-inspired therapies, using seaweed-based Voya products. There’s also a relaxation area, sauna, steam room, indoor pool, and ‘experience shower’. It’s open from 8am until 9pm every day.

Packing Tips

Boat shoes, chinos and salmon-pink shirts for seafaring Mr Smiths; oligarch-worthy oversized shades and sailor pants for Mrs Smith.

Also

The first golf course in Montenegro is coming soon to a multi-million-dollar marina near you; in the meantime, guests can get their exercise fix with a PT session, or a yoga class on the beach.

Children

All ages are welcome. Under-6s go free; extra beds and cots can be added for an extra cost. Babysitting is available, but must be booked in advance.

Dress Code

Billion-dollar-bay worthy.

Hotel Restaurant

The Restaurant cooks up local cuisine, including a breakfast of breads and pastries from the in-house bakery, wildflower honey and seasonal-fruit salad. Freestyle types will enjoy the counter where orders can be placed for whatever you fancy at that particular moment. The waterside Spot is in the middle of the marina, serving Adriatic-inspired dishes alongside local and regional wides. Centred around omakase experience, The Japanese overlooks the marina, dishing up Asian-inspired sharing plates. Don’t miss the expertly muddled cocktails.

Hotel Bar

You’ve two drinking dens from which to choose: The Lobby Bar and another called The Rok that’s, predictably, set on a geological formation along the cliff edge. Light bites are served in both.

Last Orders

The Restaurant serves breakfast from 7am to 11am. The Spot’s hours are noon to 11pm. The Japanese opens for dinner on Friday and Saturday (6pm to 11pm) and Sunday brunch (11am to 3pm). The Lobby Bar pours from 8am to 1pm, The Rok Bar from 10am to 7pm.

Room Service

The room service menu is available round the clock.

Planes

Tivat airport is 13 kilometres away; the drive should take 20 minutes, and hotel transfers are from €80. Further afield, Podgorica is another option; transfers for this two-hour trip are from €180 each way.

Automobiles

Tivat is roughly 20 minutes away by car; Kotor is a similar distance. Parking is available, but make sure you request a space in advance.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

For those yet to get their sea legs, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking through the mountainous Lustica Peninsula, past valleys, olive groves, historic fortresses and churches, waterfalls and rivers. Guests can also day-trip over to Kotor and Perast, which does have an Old Town, flanked by Venetian fortress walls no less. Boka Bay is a Unesco World Heritage Site for a reason – don’t miss its best views from the new and shiny Kotor Cable Car.
