Seven years later, that vision continues to evolve.
The seventh year of Portonovi was marked by some of the most significant achievements so far: the highest international recognition for the marina, the arrival of one of the most anticipated luxury yachts in the world, new partnerships in the field of culture, additional global recognitions for One&Only Portonovi, improved conditions for residence owners and the beginning of a new chapter within the Absheron Hotel Group, a group that operates within PASHA Holding.
Together, these seven achievements confirm that Portonovi continues to strengthen the position of Montenegro on the international map of exclusive tourism, yachting, and the luxury real estate market.
Portonovi Marina has reached the highest international standard
One of the most significant achievements of the past year is the awarding of the prestigious Platinum status award with 5 Golden Cedars to Portonova Marina, the highest status awarded by The Yacht Harbor Association.
Dedicated to marinas that consistently meet the highest international standards, this award recognizes excellence in infrastructure, operations, sustainability and the overall experience that the marina provides to its guests.
This award builds on the existing International Clean Marina and Superyacht Ready international accreditations, further confirming the position of Portonovi Marina among the leading luxury marinas of the Mediterranean.
Four Seasons chosen by Portonovi
Portonovi’s growing international reputation was further confirmed by the arrival of Four Seasons I, the first vessel of Four Seasons Yachts.
Portonovi was chosen as one of the first Adriatic destinations on the inaugural Mediterranean route of this luxury yacht.
The trust of one of the world’s most respected hotel brands confirms not only the quality of Portonovi Marina, but also the strength of the destination as a whole. The arrival of the yacht Four Seasons I further strengthened Portonovi’s position among the leading luxury yachting destinations on the Adriatic.
Traditions that grow together with the community
Although international accolades play an important role in Portonovi’s development, some of its most significant achievements are reflected in the traditions that the destination has built together with local partners, organizations and the community.
During 2026, the seventh Portonovi Boka Islands regatta, the sixth editions of the Portonovi Summer Rise and Portonovi Wine Night events, the fourth 3×3 FIBA Lite Quest, the third Portonovi New Year’s cener and the fifth annual New Year’s Tree Lighting Ceremony were held.
The continuity of these events reflects a commitment that transcends individual seasons and together they have become an important part of life in Portonova.
New partnerships enrich the cultural program
Porton’s seventh year was also marked by the establishment of significant new cultural partnerships, which additionally strengthen the destination’s year-round program and enrich its cultural offer.
The collaboration with Herceg Fest began with the organization of the final concert of the 20th edition of the Days of Music festival in Portonovo, while the new partnership with the Operosa Montenegro Opera Festival brought internationally recognized productions, including an outdoor performance of the opera La Bohème and the performance Opera per i Piccoli, intended for the youngest audience and families.
Together, these partnerships expand Portonovi’s cultural calendar, strengthen cooperation with renowned cultural institutions and bring top artistic content closer to new generations of audiences.
A destination created for everyday life
During the seventh year, Portonovi further improved its residential offer through a completely new level of privacy that it offers, as well as more flexible purchase models.
Today, The Village operates as a gated residential complex available exclusively to residence owners, their guests and guests staying at the resort, providing an additional level of privacy and exclusivity. At the same time, the promenade by the marina, restaurants, boutiques and public spaces remain open to all visitors, maintaining the lively atmosphere that Portonovi is known for.
Buying residences is further facilitated by flexible interest-free payment models. Marina apartments are available with a down payment of 20 percent and repayment of up to five years, while residences in the resort can be purchased with the same down payment and repayment of up to four years.
New international recognitions for One&Only Portonovi
The destination’s luxury hotel offer received another significant international recognition during the past year.
One&Only Portonovi won two MICHELIN Keys in the first global MICHELIN Keys competition, while Chenot Espace was named the Best Hotel Spa in the World at the World Spa Awards 2025.
These awards further confirm Portonovi’s reputation as one of the leading luxury lifestyle destinations on the Adriatic.
A new chapter with Absheron Hotel Group
Another important milestone was joining Porton’s company Absheron Hotel Group (AHG), which operates within PASHA Holding.
This integration connects Portonovi with an international hotel group and opens up space for further improvement of operational excellence, service quality and overall guest experience. At the same time, it represents a strong basis for the further development of the destination, while preserving the identity that Portonovi has built over the past seven years.
The seventh anniversary of Portonovi is an opportunity to look back at all that Portonovi has achieved since opening, but even more so to look at what these achievements say about its future.
Platinum recognition for Portonovi Marina, arrival of yacht Four Seasons I, international awards for hotel and wellness offer, traditions that bring the community together year after year, new cultural partnerships, improved residential experience and integration into Absheron Hotel Group send a unique message: Portonovi continues to grow.
Seven years after its opening, Portonovi has built a position as one of the most prestigious lifestyle destinations on the Adriatic. However, the achievements made during the previous year show that this is only the beginning of a new chapter.
