The hype
Guests are obsessed with the 'impeccable' service and the 'zen' design, calling it the best hotel in Montenegro.
The Chedi Lustica Bay
$200-450/ nat
Bestil hvis You want a hyper-polished, Asian-minimalist sanctuary in a purpose-built luxury marina town where you don't need to leave the bubble.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Asian-inspired interiors that feel zen and expensive
- Private pebble beach with crystal-clear water and VIP service
- The Spot restaurant's marina-front terrace is the place to be seen
Hurtig oversigt: It feels a bit like The Truman Show for billionaires—flawless, beautiful, and completely isolated from the gritty reality of the rest of Montenegro.
Anmeldt af @eyesofemjay: I checked into The Chedi Lustica Bay and honestly, I never wanted to leave. The suite was massive with a terrace bigger than my apartment, and that indoor pool saved me on a cloudy day. It’s the perfect spot to just disconnect and feel fancy.

Reality check
Some find the 'manufactured' feel of Lustica Bay a bit soulless compared to the history of Kotor or Perast.
- You appreciate high-end Asian hospitality (GHM brand)
- You want a self-contained resort village where everything is walkable
- You hate noise and chaos; this place is generally dead silent at night

“I would appreciate a Grand Deluxe Sea View room on a high floor (4th or 5th), specifically avoiding the Poolside category to ensure privacy. If possible, a room facing the lighthouse side for the best sunset views.”

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The entire town of Lustica Bay is brand new and privately owned; it has no history.
💡The gym is surprisingly small for a hotel of this size and luxury level.
💡You can take a water taxi to other beaches like Almara to escape the hotel bubble.
💡The 'Mountain View' rooms actually look at a green hillside which is very peaceful, just not the 'money shot'.
💡Service is Asian-style (very deferential and polite), which is a stark contrast to the typically brusque Balkan service elsewhere.
