Nammos Hotels & Resorts and Smokva Bay have announced a landmark partnership to develop Nammos Resort Montenegro, a fully integrated luxury lifestyle destination located at Smokva Bay on Montenegro’s Budva Riviera.
Located just ten minutes from the iconic island of Sveti Stefan, Smokva Bay offers a rare sense of escape, surrounded by rugged mountains and the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. Conceived as one of Montenegro’s most ambitious new coastal developments, it has been designed to celebrate the country’s extraordinary natural landscape while establishing a new benchmark for luxury living on the Adriatic.
As part of this landmark partnership, Nammos Hotels & Resorts will introduce its signature lifestyle offering through a destination that combines a luxury resort, branded residences, signature dining, curated retail and wellness experiences in one of Europe’s most captivating coastal settings.
Designed to celebrate the spirit of the Mediterranean, the development will comprise 117 keys, including 47 hotel suites, 61 branded residences and 9 branded villas. The residences have been thoughtfully designed in harmony with Montenegro’s rugged beauty and rich cultural character, bringing together coastal heritage, contemporary Greek-inspired architecture and elevated design. Inspired by the Adriatic and infused with Mediterranean elegance, each residence has been carefully crafted to maximise natural light, sea views and an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Every element of the development reflects the effortless elegance, vibrant energy and exceptional service that have defined the Nammos brand for more than two decades.
Architecturally, the development draws inspiration from Mediterranean and Cycladic traditions, expressed through sculpted forms, natural materials, soft textures and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design has been carefully crafted to complement the surrounding landscape while creating a timeless destination that reflects both the character of Montenegro’s coastline and the distinctive identity of Nammos.
The culinary offering extends well beyond the iconic Nammos Restaurant, with a collection of distinctive dining and social experiences designed to accompany guests throughout the day and into the evening. Alongside the signature beachfront venue, the resort will feature Nalu, an all-day dining concept celebrating fresh Mediterranean flavours; Ilios Lounge, a design-led destination for cocktails and relaxed socialising; and a rooftop pool bar serving light bites, signature drinks and panoramic sunset views across the Adriatic.
At the heart of the development, Nammos Village will reinterpret the traditional Mediterranean village as a contemporary destination for discovery, connection, art, shopping and wellbeing. Beyond the resort itself, Smokva Bay encourages guests and residents to immerse themselves in Montenegro’s remarkable natural landscape, with scenic hiking and mountain biking trails winding through rugged Mediterranean terrain, alongside curated wellness and outdoor fitness experiences that inspire discovery, movement and a deeper connection with nature. The lifestyle offering is complemented by a spa, fitness facilities, swimming pools, private dining venues, family experiences and exclusive beachfront amenities.
Providing an early preview of the lifestyle destination, Nammos Restaurant is welcoming guests throughout the 2026 season with an exclusive pop-up at Sveti Stefan. Overlooking one of Montenegro’s most iconic coastal landmarks, the pop-up offers guests a first taste of the Nammos experience through al fresco dining, spectacular views of Sveti Stefan and the brand’s signature beach experience, ahead of the opening of Nammos Resort Montenegro in 2029.
