VOYAGE
PHOTOGRAPHY: GETTY IMAGESPORTO MONTENEGRO
Tivat, Montenegro
Credentials: The rugged landscapes of Montenegro may not
be closely associated with the Sport of Kings – but it wasn’t
considered a superyacht destination a decade ago, and look how
quickly that changed. The communist-era naval port of Porto
Montenegro is once again at the heart of the revolution with
its new arena bringing four hooves to its shores. Surrounded by
the fjord-like Boka Bay, its emerald waters provide a sparkling,
postcard-perfect backdrop.
What to watch: Its inaugural Polo in the Port will take place this
August (1 to 3). Four teams will compete at the pop-up waterside
venue and there will be a busy social programme, ending with a
party by the beach club’s iconic infinity pool.
Pretty woman: No problem if you haven’t packed with polo in
mind, its waterfront shopping promenade is packed with designer
brands including Valentino, Victoria Beckham and Gucci.
Hoof healing: Tired feet from all that divot stomping? Enlist the
help of the cavernous spa within the marina’s Regent Hotel. Try the
rose hydrating foot treatment, where your tootsies will be wrapped
in a rose gel to allow deep penetration of the oil. If you want total
privacy the spa will send therapists directly to your yacht.
Best by boat: It’s hard to imagine a more easily accessible
event by superyacht. With more than 400 berths and the
ability to host boats of up to 250 metres, the more the merrier.
