Visit the neighbouring Budva Old Town with its ancient and picturesque pathways dating back to the fifth century, and the Unesco World Heritage Site, the Bay of Kotor, just a short drive away, where each town along the way showcases dramatic examples of Baroque architecture and offers a taste of local life.
Those seeking a back-to-nature experience can explore the shores of Lake Skadar, engulfed by mountains and topped with colourful water lilies. As if forgotten by the rest of the world, the glassy expanse is the largest body of freshwater in Southern Europe and home to more than 280 species of bird – including rarely seen creatures such as the Dalmatian Pelican and the Black Ibis.
A cruise across the water by boat savours the serenity of the hills, the sound of birdsong, the sight of historic fortresses and monasteries ensconced on the forested shores, with ample time to pause for a swim and picnic of regional delicacies.
About Aman
Aman was founded in 1988 with the vision of building a collection of intimate retreats with the unassuming, warm hospitality of a gracious private home.
The first, Amanpuri (place of peace), in Phuket, Thailand, introduced the concept and, since then, Aman has grown to encompass 34 exquisitely serene hotels and resorts. ranging from the urban to the remote, in 20 destinations across the globe, of which 12 feature Aman Branded Residences. Aman has a further ten projects in the pipeline with several under construction.

With innovation a cornerstone of the brand’s philosophy, in 2020 Aman Group welcomed a new hotel brand, Janu – meaning ‘soul’ in Sanskrit.
Janu offers a unique take on hospitality where genuine human interaction, playful expression and social wellness are at the core of the experience. Forthcoming Janu hotels are in the pipeline for the brand including Tokyo (2023) and Diriyah and AlUla in Saudi Arabia which are currently under construction.
