Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Ponta MelagranaWith its promise of sensational seclusion, your luxury villa is poised on the charming islet of Sveti Stefan, in the Budva Riviera. Nestled away in the appealing and tiny fisherman’s village of Przno, this is the perfect place to come to escape the wider world. Harmony, peace and serenity are all possible here. Located atop the Pomegranate cliff, you’ll be able to enjoy striking vistas from multiple levels at this forward-facing property. Beyond the blindingly blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, you’ll be able to look out upon the Sveti Stefan peninsula and Sveti Nikola Island.
Sveti Stefan itself is one of the most magnificent attractions in Montenegro, peppered with 15th Century buildings with charming terracotta roofs. Barely connected to the mainland via a winding path of sand, and it’s possible to walk from Budva to Sveti Stefan, something we’d well recommend.
Budva itself is one of the most popular tourist locations, making it a great place to visit for night-time attractions and endless entertainment. It’s a great way to puncture the piece of your time at the villa if you so choose, and there are also many sandy beaches to enjoy; in fact, the beaches are probably the most compelling feature alongside the traditional architecture. Guests can explore Trsteno beach, blessed with the finest sand on the Riviera, the stony beach of Ploce with its crystal clear waters and Jaz Beach, a protected natural heritage site. There’s also Mogren with its rock tunnel, named after the Spanish sailor who survived a shipwreck and stumbled upon its sands, Slovenska with great access to nightlife and shopping, the quiet Guvance for those seeking more privacy and Milocer, boasting unusual tree species such as cacti, agavas and mimosas.
There are plenty of delightful and delicious restaurants, local markets, and the beautiful Budva Walls for those who wish to explore its upper echelons. Sveti Stefan itself, where your villa is located, is a rare gem with delicate streets, small churches and narrow spaces. Its old town has remained unspoilt and may feel like venturing back in time. Known as one of the Meds most breath-taking offerings, you may choose to spend all your time here!

About the Region & Getting There
About Sveti Stefan & South Coast
The southern coast of Montenegro is largely made up of the Bar and Ulcinj Municipalities. This area is ideal for those who enjoy the lack of crowds and are in pursuit of a serener setting.
Sveti Stefan is probably the most likely image you will find on a Montenegrin postcard and with good reason too! With pink sandy beaches and delightful little shops, you will find yourself in a world of your own. Due to the seasonality of Sveti Stefan, its island gate is open to guests from May.
The South Coast –
Bar’s testing past is chronicled in its partially restored towns, which have seen a Turk invasion during the 19th Century and a severe earthquake in the late 70’s. Bar really is a treasure and efforts have been made to rebuild its old town and surrounding communes, which has given rise to one of our more peculiar, but captivating destinations.
The clearest way to understand the dichotomy of this area’s past is to pay a visit to Stari Bar. Firstly, you will be bewildered by the striking Mount Rumija that frames this beguiling town. A heavy presence of Ottoman architecture can be seen scattered amongst renovated structures, dilapidated buildings and relics. This image alone denotes the staggering degree of one town’s inauspicious history and lends a careful reminder to visitors of an era long-gone. More stately buildings have stood the test of time, so pay a visit to the Church of. St Jovan Vladimir (formerly the Patron Saint & Protector of Bar) and King Nikola’s Palace that now acts as the town’s museum. Perhaps one of the most inspiring feats of this town is Stara Maslina and its olive grove. This olive tree has remained in place for over two millennia and acts as a sign of fortitude for a prised town.
A short trip from Bar will land you on the doorstep of Skadar Lake and its National Park. This reserve encourages its guests to view exceptional indigenous wildlife, enjoy water sports & boat trips and taste the wines of Vinarija Bogojević & Cemovsko Field. A true marvel for those who get a kick from the outdoors!
South of both Bar and Skadar Lake, the town of Ulcinj is found bordering Albania. This is where the best beaches in this region can be found, which include Valdanos Beach and Velika Plaža & Mala Plaža. Here you will finally find some space to breathe! Unlike Budva, Ulcinj hasn’t quite been touched by the hordes of European tourists. The old town of Ulcinj stands proud as the oldest in Montenegro and with this comes a humbler style of life…people come here for good old-fashioned R&R! The town has a remarkable presence of farmer’s markets and street vendors, which tend to operate most days. What better way to start the morning than picking up some fresh & locally grown fruit? You will also be pleased to know that Ulcinj has a reputation for having the best gelato in Montenegro and the Adriatic coast, so don’t feel guilty upon your daily return visits! When the evening falls and you're craving something savoury, stroll along the Bojana River and you will find some of the more renowned restaurants in the area.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe villa is ideal for families with older children. It's spacious, vast and has a sequestered annex for privacy which may suit teenagers. Regardless of interest, your family will be well catered to with bountiful balconies, an enormous pool with the Adriatic Sea stretching out beyond, sun-stroked beaches, gardens, television, opportunities to relax at the spa or swim in the pool, play billiards or enjoy the Sony play station lounge (a firm favourite.)
If children can even be persuaded to leave the luxury of the villa, there's plenty going on nearby, including a walk from Sveti Stefan into Budva, where older children can enjoy night-time attractions, a plethora of beaches, each with their own unique charm and fun markets. Mogren Beach is a great option for swashbucklers who want to pretend they've been shipwrecked and left to live a life in paradise, and Ploce Beach for snorkelling and catching sight of aquatic life.
Montenegro's history is rich and invigorating despite the fact that the country is only small, and children may be especially interested to learn about the pirates who played a pivotal part in shaping it. The Old Town is small enough to make a day of and hunker down along the waterfront. Renting a boat from the marina is a grand experience, and there's plenty of time for children to hunt for crabs and seek out shoals of fish as well as jumping from the jetty.
The Budva Walls are a must-see, although you may wish to take kids at a cooler time of day. Swimming in the sea alongside the walls is also a spellbinding experience that many enjoy. Of course, many children enjoy spending endless days at the beach or in the crystalline waters, but there are also plenty of restaurants and ample time to explore the Old Town of Alstadt. Krapina Village is a fun space to take in some nature and seek out local wildlife and paragliding is a must for more adventurous souls. SUP Kayak in Budva makes for a great family expedition. As a safe and family-oriented area, children will be well-catered to, but the villa itself is less appropriate for younger children and babies.
