Hotel California by Aycon in Sveti Stefan

Nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the rugged Montenegrin mountains, Hotel California by Aycon offers a five-star experience that’s as scenic as it is serene. From the moment you arrive, the panoramic views of the iconic Sveti Stefan island take center stage—especially if you book a sea-facing room. The hotel’s private beach is just steps away, complete with complimentary loungers and umbrellas, making it easy to soak in the coastal charm.
Breakfast is a standout, with fresh fruit, variety of hot and cold options and the the hotel’s location is perfectly walkable to a number of restaurants.
I couldn't have imagined a more scenic end to our holiday in Montenegro.

A truly memorable stay!
I had an exceptional experience at Hotel California in Sveti Stefan. The location is unbeatable — right on the water with breathtaking views of the Adriatic and absolutely incredible sunsets each evening. It felt like watching a postcard come to life.

The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and professional throughout my stay. My room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable, with all the amenities I needed.

The private beach was a huge plus — peaceful, clean, and never crowded. Breakfasts were fresh and generous, and the overall vibe of the hotel was luxurious yet relaxed. You can tell they truly care about their guests.

Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be returning.

Totally recommended this amazing Hotel

Wonderful hotel with a superb view over Sveti Stefan. Attentive staff. Rooms with balconies overlooking the sea. Good breakfast. The beach in front has umbrellas and sunbeds provided by the hotel free of charge. I would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion would be to pay a bit more attention to the beach towels, as they are already a little worn out — which doesn’t look so good for a 5-star hotel. Also, charging €10 per hour for a paddle board whose paddle was not in good condition (the broken part didn’t allow the size/height to be fixed) does not reflect well on a 5-star hotel with already high rates. It would be much better to offer the use of canoes and paddle boards — at least 1 hour per stay. I believe that would be a fairer gesture for guests.

A magnificent hotel with stunning views of St. Stephen Island. We stayed in a room with a terrace. The hotel has its own free parking. The breakfast at the hotel deserves top marks. You can rent a SUP from the hotel beach for 10 euros and swim to the island. Sun loungers and beach towels are also free.

We had a wonderful one night stay at this hotel in May. Miliana, who checked us in, was terrific and extremely welcoming and friendly. After chatting with her for a few minutes, learned she briefly lived in the state I am from so that was a fun conversation. The room, while a little small for three of us, was very comfortable, modern, and clean. We don't spend that much time in our room while traveling because we're always exploring and are only sleeping there and showering so we didn't care about the size and were just happy they could accommodate three of us. The location of the hotel is outstanding and tucked away with gorgeous views. The private beach and lounge chairs are very nice to have but be prepared that it's a stone beach so have the appropriate footwear. We had a fabulous dinner in the restaurant on their balcony while watching the sunset and listening to the waves hitting the shore. The breakfast was very good as well and we got to sit on the same balcony overlooking the water. I would highly recommend staying here.

I would definitely stay here again and honestly recommend this experience to others. The view is stunning; the service is commendable. I genuinely have nothing but good things to say; I wish I had stayed here longer.

The hotel overall is good, but it is definitely not a 5-star hotel just due to the fact that they lack amenities most hotels (especially 5-star hotels) have. No gym, no spa, no pool, etc. We (3 people) have stayed in a Family Room with Sea-View which was pretty good. Is it smallish? Yes, but nonetheless there was enough space to open two big suitcases and store all our belongings. The room had a safe which you can use for free and all your usual necessities. Both beds were the same size, which for one person is perfect, but for two, not really. Bathroom was great and everything worked fine. The only thing that was missing is the proper ventilation in the bathroom. After a ten minute shower, mirrors were foggy and no air is entering nor leaving the room as long as the door is closed, which is a downside. Air conditioning works perfectly and cools the room very quickly, but is too loud to be turned on during the night. The minibar is overpriced so I haven’t used it but the selection is okay. The balcony is great and views are really really beautiful, but if I am being super pedantic about things - the balcony door doesn’t have a handle outside, which doesn’t allow you to close the door and is a downside since the warm air easily enters the room, plus the AC doesn’t work if the balcony door is open 🤨 The restaurant and bar are severely overpriced in my opinion. The burger in the restaurant cost 24 euros, which was extremely unfair since the meat was quite dry… After that we didn’t visit the restaurant anymore so can’t say anything else about their food. The bar has a poor selection of different types of alcohol and their barmen do not know if they have specific drinks or not. Additionally the service is not nice. Waiters are not polite in a manner in which a “5-star hotel waiters” should be. After asking for a menu and choosing our drinks the waiter came over and, quoting, said “what do you want?” which to me seemed very unprofessional, although maybe I am just too pedantic 🤧 I can recommend trying their grilled pineapple mojito, if you do happen to visit the place. The staff at the reception and cleaning staff are very welcoming. We have had several questions at the reception and they were all answered in a very helpful way. Cleaning service is impeccable and you even get one bottle of water per person every day after they clean your room, which, may I say in such a secluded place is a must, since finding a market to buy water is quite tiring in such heat 😄 Towels are changed everyday, while bed lining was changed every three days, which was fine to me. We have also had an issue with the water draining in the shower and it was quickly fixed by the staff after we’ve mentioned it at the reception. The best thing about the hotel is its beach. Although it’s not private, the sun-beds and umbrellas are not freely available to public, but are free for hotel guests. The sun-beds are very comfortable and umbrellas provide good shade. Beach staff is

Breathtaking views, gorgeous beach!!! Nearby is the excellent Milocer Park, with swimming areas. Crystal-clear water. Premium breakfasts, salmon, avocado, natural yogurt, Parmesan, etc.
