Opened in June, Iberostar Selection Montenegro is a glamorous addition to the Bar Riviera
Montenegro’s Adriatic coast is fast becoming one of Europe’s most popular short-haul escapes, where rugged mountains fall away to sandy beaches. Along the Bar Riviera, 25 miles from Podgorica Airport, the new five-star Iberostar Selection Montenegro brings together contemporary design, premium Mediterranean cuisine and one of Europe’s largest spa and fitness centres.
Designed in contemporary Montenegrin style, the resort’s 292 suites and villas pair calming whites with rustic tones of brown and sage, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the sea or lush gardens.
Catering to both families and couples, the resort offers 11 room types, ranging from villas with private gardens to suites with terraces and an outdoor whirlpool.
Wellness takes central stage with the resort’s impressive 3,700sq m spa and fitness centre, one of Europe’s largest. Clients can enjoy saunas, a hammam, a steam bath and a low-temperature zone, while private beach access promises seamless movement from spa to sea.
Families are well served with a dedicated kids’ pool and the signature Star Camp programme, offering daily activities for children.
The resort’s dining scene is remarkably diverse, with nine bars and restaurants to choose from. Savour authentic Italian dishes at Emilia, enjoy buffet-style Balkan and Mediterranean cuisine with international themed nights at Lumen, or relax with cocktails at Beach Bar alMar while live music plays at sunset.
The surrounding area offers plenty to explore. The Old Town of Bar lies just five miles away, where cobbled streets meander around towers, a citadel and numerous squares and churches – a mixture of baroque, renaissance and oriental dating back to the 6th century. On the outskirts, clients can marvel at the 2,000-year-old Old Olive Tree, one of the oldest in the world.
Iberostar’s presence in Montenegro extends along the Adriatic coast, offering more options for your clients in this glamorous Balkan nation. The four-star Iberostar Waves Bellevue and five-star Iberostar Waves Slavija both sit close to the vibrant town of Budva, famous for its nightlife and medieval heritage, with medieval walls built during nearly 400 years of Venetian rule. The iconic terracotta-red island of Sveti Stefan is easily reached by boat from Budva or Bar too.
Meanwhile, the four-star Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi is set on the Bay of Kotor overlooking its dramatic fjord-like scenery.
Iberostar Beachfront Resorts comprises of three segments: premium offering Iberostar Selection, laid-back Iberostar Waves and luxury-focused JOIA by Iberostar.
