Is the Aman Montenegro still open?

By chance in Budva, Montenegro, I stumbled upon a filming location for "007"—the jelly-like sea of Sveti Stefan Island is stunningly beautiful! This secluded island in the Adriatic Sea is full of stories—it was once a luxury hotel favored by Marilyn Monroe. Although it is now closed, it has become a vintage-filtered seaside bonsai, and standing anywhere on the shore feels like shooting a movie poster. 💡Secret photo spots revealed (tested and guaranteed no disappointment!) Head straight to the halfway point of the Church of Saint Sava! From here, you can overlook the entire horseshoe-shaped coastline. The red-roofed island is embedded in the gradient blue sea, and when the sun is shining, the water looks as clear and jelly-like as ever. Even your phone can capture stunning shots. • Spot: Don’t waste time searching! Navigate directly to the Church of Saint Sava, then hike 10 minutes to the halfway point. The whole horseshoe coastline fits perfectly in your frame, and the sea is so blue it looks filtered—no editing needed to win. • Transportation: There’s no Uber in Budva! Having the hotel call a car is 5 euros cheaper than finding one yourself, about 20 euros one way. Be sure to save the driver’s WhatsApp! Renting a car is recommended for convenience. • Photography: Go at 9 a.m.! The sunlight hits the sea at an angle, creating sparkling waves without backlighting; use 5x zoom on your phone to avoid tourists on the shore and focus only on the island and the sea. Sitting by the sea watching the waves gently lap the reefs, you suddenly realize that the "beautiful isolation" really exists. If you come to Montenegro, don’t just visit Budva Old Town—be sure to come here and see it!
