If you are thinking about taking an exotic vacation this summer, you may have targeted the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic has made international travel spotty at best. Italy, Spain, and France have closed their borders; however, other locations are open. There is a new hotel opening in Portonovi on the Adriatic Mediterranean that will be welcoming international travelers. What should travelers know about this new hotel?


The One&Only Hotel Opens its Doors in Portonovi


One&Only is a unique, luxurious Resort that is set to open this May. Recently, the hotel hosted a formal opening ceremony. As the staff works to perfect the details of this beautiful hotel, the first guests are going to be welcomed on the 1st of May 2021 in Montenegro. Which means you could be lying on the beach with the Mediterranean sun washing over you, sipping ouzo by Memorial Day. 


The hotel itself has quickly positioned itself at the Crown Jewel of the Adriatic. Square in the middle of Boka Bay in Herceg Novi, the property itself sits on 60 acres of beautiful resort property. The resort is an easily accessible one-hour drive from Dubrovnik, with the airport served by a range of airlines as well as private jets. Guests who stay at the One&Only will also have amazing, dramatic views of the coastline, which includes both the mountains and the sea. One&Only is positioned in a region with incredible diversity. This includes ancient towns steeped with history, friendly people overflowing with energy, secluded beaches that beckon, and countless amenities that no other location will be able to match.


If you decide to stay at the One&Only, you will enjoy a unique blend of modern, nautical living. Privacy blends beautifully with luxury, as the hotel works to give you everything you are looking for during your vacation. Whether you want to relax in your room, go on a hike, or take a dip in the Adriatic, One&Only has been positioned to offer it all.


As you explore everything that One&Only has to offer, you have access to numerous choices. You can enjoy a large room, sweet, or Villa. Rooms are designed with windows that stretch from the floor to the ceiling, allowing plenty of natural light. The interior has been planned meticulously, making sure that you truly feel like you are surrounded by luxury.

With a single phone call, you can have your needs addressed by customer service teams that always place your desires first. The world famous Spa, Chenot Espace offers a multi-dimensional wellness experience. 


Even though the One&Only has already become known for its unparalleled views of the surrounding natural area, there is also plenty to do in this location. One&Only is positioned close to galleries, boutiques, and cafés. When you are not relaxing in your hotel room, you will have the opportunity to check out numerous Mediterranean-style villages in the area. You can simply take a stroll right down the block and explore shopping and dining opportunities in the region.


Explore the Mediterranean Through Portonovi, Greece, and Turkey


Right now, the international borders of Turkey and Greece are open, along with Portonovi. To access Turkey and Greece, You need to get a coronavirus PCR test taken within 3 days of arrival. As long as you can produce proof of a negative PCR test within 3 days of your arrival in Turkey or Greece, you should be let into the country. Importantly, a PCR test is different from a rapid antigen swab. 


Because vacation options are limited in the Mediterranean, you should act as quickly as possible if you are planning on exploring these exotic locations. Even though the hotel will open its doors on the 1st of May, it is possible reservations could get booked quickly. You may want to extend your vacation timeline to later this summer or early fall if you want to access the Adriatic along with its mountains, coastline, and vacation opportunities. The water will still be fantastic, the food will still be delicious, and the weather will still be warm. Even though there are some countries in the Mediterranean that have closed their borders this summer, the One&Only in Portonovi will be opening its doors to guests, providing numerous vacation opportunities to individuals and families from all over the world.
