This extraordinary development encompasses a limited collection of ten exclusive Private Homes, each representing a trophy property along the Mediterranean coastline. Developed by Azmont Investments with architecture and interiors by the legendary Jean-Michel Gathy and his team at Denniston International Architects, these waterfront sanctuaries span 26 hectares of pristine coastline, offering residents privileged access to world-class resort amenities while maintaining the privacy and prestige of individual villa ownership. Each residence features private beaches, personal jetties, and lush gardens, creating intimate havens where modern European design seamlessly blends with traditional Montenegrin coastal charm.

Jean-Michel Gathy's Masterpiece: Where Privacy, Luxury, and Space Define Coastal Living
Jean-Michel Gathy, the visionary architect behind some of the world's most celebrated One&Only properties, approached Portonovi with three guiding principles: luxury, space, and privacy. His design philosophy creates structures that honor Montenegro's natural elements while establishing new standards for coastal elegance. Each Private Home emerges from the landscape as a modern interpretation of Mediterranean architecture, featuring distinctive terracotta rooftops, towering colonnades, and textured surfaces that echo both Montenegrin vernacular and Venetian styling. The architecture works to bring the outdoors inside through floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive terraces, and seamless transitions between interior luxury and exterior natural beauty. Gathy's restrained yet sophisticated approach ensures each villa maintains individual character while contributing to the harmonious village atmosphere that defines the entire development.
The interiors reflect a calm and comfortable aesthetic, allowing residents to transition effortlessly from busy urban life to peace and tranquility. Features and proportions are carefully aligned to emanate balance and security, with furniture layouts in each room focused on capturing views of Boka Bay's shimmering waters and the misty mountains rising dramatically beyond. Natural materials wood and stone with organic rather than highly glossed finishes ground each space in authentic elegance. Arched halls, floor-to-ceiling windows, glass walls, luxurious bathrooms, and refined flooring showcase the finest examples of contemporary European design infused with local cultural richness. The result is an ethereal living experience where every detail has been curated to create sanctuaries of both sophistication and comfort spaces that invite relaxation, inspire gathering, and celebrate the extraordinary beauty of Montenegro's Adriatic Riviera in an environment where walls seem to disappear, and nature becomes an integral part of daily life.
