Mamula Island by Banyan Tree
HERCEG NOVI, MONTENEGRO
Our take
A 19th-century Montenegrin fortress, fully restored and dropped into Boka Bay — Mamula Island is for the kind of traveler who finds a private island more interesting when it has a history worth knowing. Three restaurants, workshops, cultural programming: this is a destination that asks something of you intellectually, not just your credit card. Skip it entirely if you're chasing beach clubs, late bars, or the familiar resort formula. Come for two or three nights minimum — the island rewards the unhurried.
Notable Features
- Restored 19th-century fort
- Three diverse restaurants
- Workshops and cultural events
