Private hydroplane tour for two from Boka Bay to Skadar Lake
Experience Montenegro’s natural beauty from the air on a private hydroplane experience. Locals believe that if Montenegro were flat, it would be as big as Russia. We’re not too sure on that one, but you’ll be amazed by the number of peaks and valleys that only become apparent with a bird’s eye view. Discover Montenegro’s expanse from the sky with a tour starting from the Porto Montenegro helipad. You’ll be dropped off at Skadar Lake to swim and dine at the local restaurant. Feast on freshwater fish caught mere minutes before, before returning to the hotel.

There’s nothing like a private spa experience to melt away the stresses of everyday life. This is a chance to steal a moment with a loved one and take time for some much-needed self-improvement. What better way to do this than the Spa Privée offer at Regent Spa? Privacy and safety are still of primary concern to most travelers, so the Spa Privée experience gives couples the chance to relax in total comfort with exclusive access to Regent Spa for a night, including full use of the facilities. To top it off, the experience includes a complimentary bottle of champagne. From the spa, guests can look out across the twinkling Adriatic and feel at one with the magnificent views.
Dine under candlelight in an 18th century Franciscan monastery
For those couples seeking a bit of culture, choose a private dinner surrounded by candles in an 18th century monastery in Prcanj. A three-course dinner is served with cutlery and dishes as old as the monastery, on a table carved from a Bokelian sailing ship. Add even more magic with a bespoke private dinner in the local monastery, set on the seafront. Sit amongst the softly lit orange and lemon trees, surrounded by candles as a bespoke menu is served. A truly exclusive experience like no other.
