Dukley Hotel & Resort

Begin at first light in Kotor Bay, where the Adriatic lies calm and reflective. With an experienced local guide, paddle into Boka Bay’s quiet drama — rocky caves, open horizons and the storied Lady of the Rocks rising from the water. Glide onwards to Sveti Marko, accessible only by sea, for a pause of swimming and snorkelling in clear, mineral-blue shallows alive with movement.

Resume along the coast, salt on your skin, as Kotor’s mighty walls rise directly from the sea. From this water-level vantage, history, nature and calm converge — an intimate, unhurried journey through Montenegro’s most poetic seascape.

Set off on a panoramic coastal drive, pausing at breathtaking viewpoints like Sveti Stefan and Brajići. Just 30 minutes away lies Markovic Vineyards, a family-run estate where wine is a way of life. Wander through the intimate cellar, inhale the earthy aromas and savour wines crafted with care and patience.

Hear the stories of Dobrsko Selo and the family’s devotion to natural, small-batch production. Complement your tasting with local cheeses and cured delicacies while soaking in vineyard vistas and distant mountains. This is a sensory journey that blends tradition, landscape and the magic of Montenegrin winemaking.

Embark on a hands-on culinary experience in the historic St. Nikola Monastery. Guided by a local host, you will learn the art of preparing traditional Bokelian dishes, from silky gnocchi with a rich sauce to fresh seasonal salads and a sweet, classic dessert. Explore the monastery’s centuries-old kitchens and discover the secrets behind age-old recipes passed down through generations.

Once your creations are ready, savour them in the atmospheric 300-year-old halls, surrounded by history and charm. This intimate cooking class offers a deep dive into local flavours, techniques and traditions, leaving you with skills, stories and unforgettable tastes.
