The complete island is now a luxury hotel and is only accessible to hotel guests, making it impossible to visit











Sveti Stefan is a 15th-century fortified fishing village on a tiny rocky island, connected to the mainland by a narrow stone bridge. It has recently been turned into a private luxury resort
Originally a defensive stronghold for the Paštrovići tribe against Ottoman pirates, the island was transformed into a luxury hotel in the 1950s by order of the Yugoslav communist government. It became a global jet-set magnet in the 1970s, hosting celebrities like Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, and even Queen Elizabeth II.
