If you’ve ever dreamt of spending the day on your own boutique island, anchor your yacht at Mamula Island this summer to enjoy a new style of paradise
Sitting at the entrance of Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mamula Island is an oasis of design, wellbeing and nature. Named by Condé Nast Traveler in ‘The Best New Hotels in the World 2024’, what was a fortress is now a must-visit destination with 32 rooms and suites, three pools, a private beach and more.
The once abandoned island with an old fortress, created on the site of an Austro-Hungarian fortress built 170 years ago, was transformed by careful restoration into a luxury boutique hotel and spa with unique architectural design and modern interior. It offers its guests a refined experience and stay in a world away from everyday life.
At a distance of about an hour from Dubrovnik, the 19th century Mamula fortress, a simple yet elegant fortification that proudly guarded the entrance to the Bay of Kotorska for almost two centuries, has been transformed into a sophisticated ambience of the Mamula Island Hotel. It is a place of authentic spirit, rich cultural and historical heritage and extraordinary natural beauty.
Mamula Island is a refined destination where the concept of a sophisticated hotel and a world-class culinary offer will be complemented by a holistic spa, a historical-memorial gallery and art programmes.
The hotel offers 26 rooms, 6 suites, a holistic spa, well-being facilities such as swimming pools, massage rooms, gym, promenade, as well as three restaurants and four bars.
The hotel has its own serviced beach and a three-patio open terrace restaurant Sundeck located on the southern rocks. A special place is reserved for the historical-memorial gallery which provides an overview of the 170 year-long history of this location.
In addition, in cooperation with wider cultural community and with the participation of local and world-famous artists, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a whole range of cultural and artistic events throughout the year.
Mamula Island unites culture, hospitality and nature to illuminate the best parts of life – the parts that connect you to what you love. Here, you can bond with nature, revel in the open sea, sky, and sunsoaked hillsides of the nearby Luštica peninsula and rejuvenate body and spirit.
