SEA SPA
REGENT PORTO
MONTENEGRO
TIVAT,
MONTENEGRO
Where is it? With opulent Venetian
Renaissance-inspired
architecture, the Regent lies
at the heart of one of the Med’s
youngest superyacht hubs
in Montenegro’s mountain-
encircled Boka Bay.
What’s the hype? Porto
Montenegro is now a firm favorite
with the Med yacht set, and a
constantly updated events
calendar – spanning sailing
regattas and polo tournaments,
fashion shows and concerts –
ensures there’s always something
to lure boats back.
What to have? The Regent’s dark
wood, candlelit spa takes over a
floor in the hotel’s Aqua Wing and
offers Aromatherapy Associates
body and face treatments. Start
your journey in its thermal suite- take your pick from the
hammam, steam room and sauna
before rejuvenating in the spa’s
experience shower. Then opt for
the hotel’s signature massage,
which starts with a personal
consultation and allows you to
choose from 12 fragrant massage
oils – try the hydrating rose.
Best by boat? There are 450
berths measuring up to 820ft but
the marina prides itself on privacy,
with a ban on drones and an
identity checkpoint before the
largest berths. From there, you
are a five-minute stroll from
the spa’s oasis of calm.
