Lošinj TO THE WORLD AND THE WORLD TO LOŠINJ, CROATIA

"The Mediterranean is a thousand things at once. Not one landscape, but countless landscapes. Not one sea, but a succession of seas. Not one civilization, but it is a series of civilizations stacked on top of each other, in short, a very ancient crossroads. For millennia everything has flowed into it, complicating and enriching its history: beasts of burden, cars, goods, ships, ideas, religions, ways of life"

F. Braudel

Nestled in the heart of the Adriatic lies Lošinj, an island where echoes of the Old World seamlessly blend with salty, pine-infused breezes, and a heritage of ancient mariners is sculpted into the soul of the land. Esteemed for its stunning vistas and healing sea air, Lošinj has long been a retreat for solace and wellness rooted in its thriving natural world. Likewise, its historic luxury villas are a repository of treasures, each a shrine illustrating the island's tapestry of global connections and perennial heritage.

During the golden age of maritime exploration, the brave sons of Lošinj fearlessly sailed across the expansive oceans, their ships gracefully slicing through the waves on a course set for distant shores. From youthful sailors to seasoned sea captains, these audacious souls embarked on lengthy voyages, navigating from the lively ports of the Mediterranean to the secluded harbors of the New World. Resonating the profound observations of historian Fernand Braudel, who eloquently chronicled the Mediterranean's pivotal role in connecting diverse civilizations, Lošinj emerged as a microcosm reflecting the cultural mosaic of the vast sea. The island stands as a tribute to the enduring impact of the Mediterranean — a junction of history, commerce, and cultural exchange.

The annals of Mediterranean history unfold as a tempest of civilizations, a juncture marked by the tragedies and triumphs that have shaped our world. Within this narrative, Lošinj occupies a well-deserved chapter. With each expedition, the island's mariners intricately weaved global cultures into the very fabric of their island. Their return brought not only exotic goods but tales of distant lands, their traditions, and their artistry, contributing to Lošinj’s ever-evolving place in the history of the Mediterranean.

THE STORY OF MARBLE

Within Lošinj’s treasure trove of precious imports is the marble, a collection of colors and diverse origins extracted from the finest quarries around the globe. From the phosphorescent white marble of Carrara to the intricate veins of Turkey's Afyon, these stones have found a dignified place adorning the interiors of Lošinj's villas, serving as a tangible reflection of the island's worldly connections. Every polished marble surface gleams like a mirror, individually carrying a tale from ancient quarries of enduring art and architecture that have withstood the sands of time.

Captain's Villa Rouge is a radiant retreat inextricably linked with the past of Lošinj’s sailors and naval captains. Erected in 1897 by Graz entrepreneur W. Riedel, it was the first villa built in Čikat Bay, commencing the story of luxury tourism tucked into this turquoise cove. This villa is as glamorous as it is a feast for the eyes, enticing with its riveting crimson red exterior. Inside, a kaleidoscope of colors costumes the walls, instantly penetrating guests into the roots of its history and the journey each detail undertook to finally find its resting place in this lavish Lošinj home.

As you step inside, meticulously restored original terrazzo stone reveals its 19th-century past, as one thousand minuscule multicolored stones form into the shape of the sun. The bathroom walls are wrapped in a world of marble, with each veined design subtly telling a story of a faraway place. These metamorphic gemstones journeyed to Lošinj from all parts of the globe, launching anyone lucky enough to lock eyes on a visual odyssey through the elegant Trani Biancone from Italy, Azul Bahia from Brazil, and stones from Africa, Madagascar, Iran, Turkey, and China. A vibrant spectrum enchants with maritime blue, ocher, shades of pink, green, earth brown, and sand, each pigment etching the lines of this globally prismatic tale.

The stonework story continues in Villa Sea Princess Nika, a 100-yearold retreat steeped in the aristocratic history of Čikat Bay. Flawlessly restored and reimagined into a contemporary masterpiece, Villa Princess Nika is fashioned and furnished to manifest Lošinj's luxury. Its ground floor, where a kitchen, dining room, and large living room gather guests, is classically styled with a scope of precious marble. The striking veining

BETWEEN ISTRIA AND DALMATIA

Boutique Hotel Alhambra & The Historic Villas is located among a lush centennial pine forest in Čikat Bay, walking distance of the town of Mali Lošinj on Lošinj Island in Croatia. Nestled between the Croatian regions of Istria and Dalmatia, Lošinj is the nexus that brings these two areas together.

pattern of Calacatta Viola captivates with its creamy white and rich red wine palette, sourced from one of Italy’s oldest quarries. The white calcite Bianco Lasa marble features linear bluish-gray veins that punctually intersperse prominent thick black threads. The ravishing Rosso Levanto is distinguished by its deep burgundy base and mesmerizing white veining, effortlessly imbuing a natural essence. The tactile ambiance lingers into the bathrooms, with each marble decoration fusing a combination of these treasured gemstones. A luminous complexion sweeps the walls in fossil stone, Persian green, rainbow and red onyx, blue lapis lazuli, and red travertine, forging a sensory experience that is as tangible as it is visual. A marble-tiled elevator and polished porcelain-like staircase shaped in Bianco Lasa round out the elegant marble interiors of this opulent villa.

THE ELEGANCE OF MURANO CHANDELIERS

Next, we encounter the Murano chandeliers, each exemplifying the pinnacle of glass craftsmanship hailing from the famous Venetian island. These resplendent gems, adorned with elaborate patterns and hues, suspend gracefully from the ceilings of the historic villas in Čikat Bay. Serving as both contemporary embellishments and poignant symbols of days gone by, these chandeliers encapsulate a centuries-old connection with Venetian culture — a nostalgic echo of the times when Lošinj's vessels navigated into this lagoon, laden with treasures from far-flung lands.

Master artisans have crafted these elaborate pieces since the 8th century, though a renaissance in the 19th century marked the revival of Murano, with visionaries bringing a modern flair to the magic of this glass. The delicate filigree and vibrant millefiori patterns are a testament to centuries of skill, innovation, and sophistication, solidifying Murano’s status as a timeless symbol of artistry. This poignant piece of Venetian history and craftsmanship intertwine in a mesmerizing dance of elegance at Captain’s Villa Rouge and Villa Sea Princess Nika.

Murano glass chandeliers are a beaming trademark of Captain’s Villa Rouge. Fashioned in a rare fruity and floral design, a total of 12 Murano chandeliers adorn the rooms. Each Italian luminaire intricately

displays hundreds of small ornaments, all illustrating a palette of colors produced using this fastidious glass-blowing technique. The chandeliers were anything but easy to source for this Lošinj marvel and are highly sought after in antique shops around the world. It took several years to complete the Captain’s collection of all 12.

Venetian Murano glass also dresses the contempo decor of Villa Sea Princess Nika. In the dining room, you’ll find Murano smalto glass mosaic tiles, an extraordinary example of classical Italian glass-making meeting the 21st century. Modern techniques combine with this centuries-old art form to produce the most extensive selection of glass mosaics, creatively illuminating interior spaces with a myriad of exquisite colors. The ethereal translucency of the lattimo or ‘milk glass’ technique further embellishes the interior decor. This milky-white opaque glass was obtained by Murano master glass-makers in the 14th century, resulting in a radiant revelation with a soft, diffused glow.

Inside Villa Sea Princess Nika, fruity and floral chandelier designs follow the flow of its neighbor Captain’s Villa Rouge, detailing a handful of the hallways and rooms. Each chandelier was carefully researched and selected to ensure that the shapes and colors seamlessly harmonize with every setting inside the villa, bringing extraordinary exclusivity to the interior decor. The selection process took several months, as each authentic product became increasingly rare and difficult to find. The chosen chandeliers each share a different past. All hail from the early 20th century, commissioned exclusively by the previous owners. Many were purchased from a castle in the province of Padua, recently renovated and used for ceremonies and events. Others made their way to Lošinj from Venetian villas and noble residences in northern Italy. Interestingly, some of the chandeliers adorning Villa Sea Princess Nika would be impossible to craft in the present day, because colors such as ruby red, cobalt blue, and opaline were obtained from processing currently banned chemical compounds.

BETWEEN ITALY AND CROATIA

SEAFARING ELEMENTS IN THE DECOR

But Lošinj's maritime legacy extends beyond marble and glass. Embellishing the villa gardens and interiors are nautical relics that honor the island's seafaring history. From sizable rudders and propellers to antique maritime charts and gleaming brass compasses, these artifacts offer a reverent tribute to the intrepid souls who once traversed the waters of the world. Lovingly preserved and prominently displayed, they serve as passionate reminders of an era when the stars above and the sea below were the sole navigational guides. A time when the horizon beckoned with the promise of uncharted territories awaiting exploration.

Boutique Hotel Alhambra & The Historic Villas is not only a luxurious bridge connecting the northern and southern parts of Croatia, but it closes the gap between Venice and Dubrovnik, as the islands of Lošinj and Cres are equidistant to the Croatian and Italian coastline. Lošinj is far from being off the beaten path; it is a stunning stepping stone on the way. The path that brings all together.

Inside Captain’s Villa Rouge, a museum of maritime details awaits — and you won’t find a single replica in this collection. Authentically antique objects from navigation and control devices to old nautical charts, ship lamps, and diving helmets are just some of the seafaring heirlooms you’ll discover inside. The interior design is completed with faithful models of sailing ships and pictures of seascapes by famous Croatian painters. In the living room, a large compass still bears the mark of the New York manufacturers Kelvin&Wilfrid O. White, tracing back to the beginning of the 20th century. All of the mirrors in the bathrooms and hallways are formed from ship window frames, while a white stone anchor ornaments the outdoors.

While roaming the corridors and rooms of the historic villas within the Lošinj Hotels & Villas portfolio, it is evident that each retreat transcends the label of luxurious accommodations. They embody a living museum where the universal converges with the local. Where marbles mingle with Murano glass and the relics of ancient vessels to unveil the captivating story of Lošinj. The island’s story unfolds as a tale of exploration and revelation, of ties woven across the vast seas. Through the endeavors of its inhabitants, Lošinj extended its arms to embrace the world.

Those who enter these realms are not just embarking on a journey of comfort and relaxation, but are immersing themselves in a narrative

that stretches across epochs. Nestled in the heart of Lošinj, enveloped by opulence and elegance, the island's heritage endures, extending an invitation to travelers to engage in its endless saga. In this realm where bygone eras meet the contemporary, guests become integral characters in this tale as old as time, steered by the pine-laden breezes, health-giving tides, and the unyielding spirit that defines Lošinj.

MEET THE EXECUTIVE CHEFBRANDON SOURIS

Brandon comes from South Africa but learnt his famous culinary skills in London, where he has worked for 5 years before returning to South Africa. Already in London, Brandon quickly climbed through the ranks in the kitchen, showing his superiors he was willing to put in the work and stay focused, embracing new challenges as time went by. That is why, when he came back to South Africa, he was involved with 5-star properties, before finding One&Only a few years back.

Brandon has been working for One&Only in Rwanda, Maldives, Dubai and now, Montenegro, hoping to bring his vast experience and knowledge and share it with his team here.

Q. The Collection Magazine: Was becoming a chef a career that you always imagined pursuing?

A. Executive Chef, Brandon Souris: No. I took a year off after school and went to London. I started working as a waiter to cover my expenses. Then I moved to the kitchen and started washing the dishes part-time after my shift as a waiter. The executive chef there and I became close friends, and he offered me to start as a commis chef. So, I started from the very basic positions and worked my way up.

As a commis chef, I would often stay longer hours before I loved the atmosphere in the hotel there - the creativity was next level, and the food that we were preparing was amazing. I commenced studying through the company and five years later I was promoted to the head chef. In industry terms, I climbed the ladder very quickly in the beginning because I was always focused and conscientious.

Q. You’ve been here for a few months, are you ready for the upcoming season?

A. Of course, we are pretty much set already. As you know, we have a few venues and I have a team in place, starting from my Executive Sous Chef and chef de cuisine for each venue. I’ve met with our core suppliers; we are finishing up the new menus that we are launching soon. In terms of structure and manning, we are pretty much set and look forward to welcoming guests to experience our passion for perfection.

Q. What are your findings after sampling the ingredients we offer to your kitchen, locally sourced?

A. I’m very happy with the local produce. We must import certain ingredients because we have so many outlets, but I was very happy to find out that we have a lot of local produce that we can use. Fresh fish is an obvious choice, of course - and with our new Steak House, the quality of the meat that we are buying here, and the dry aging is fantastic.

Q. Can you tell us more about your team here?

A. Yes, well, this is another thing that surprised me here, as we have a young team of local and international chefs, but they really excel in these roles. They are big on flavours, skills and work ethic, you can tell there is a lot of passion coming from the young guys. They want to be someone and succeed in the kitchen.

We set high goals from day one, we want to be the best in the country. La Veranda actually received an award as the best restaurant in the country recently, but we want to have all our restaurants equally highly ranked.

Q. Can you give us some of your personal highlights from different menus now in One&Only restaurants?

A. That’s a tough one, but a few come to mind. We have a lobster pasta in Sabia that is really very good. I’m a big fan of classic dishes and the chefs are doing an amazing carbonara as well.

From La Veranda side, definitely the brodetto, a local fish stew. But we are also dry ageing our own meats, so the Tomahawk steak is one of the favourites also, super tender. I’m more into robust food, rather than fine dining.

The pastry in the hotel is amazing and our pastry chef Željko is very creative. Today he has done a kajmak and strawberry dessert, with a touch of pink peppercorns!

Tapasake, obviously, is a crowd pleaser, I’ve always been a fan of sushi. Now with the new menu, which I don’t want to give away much, with Spanish tapas coming in, this is going to be a busy outlet this year.

And I would mention the breakfast menu that we serve in La Veranda restaurant, which is very popular, with a few new and fresh ideas. We are doing a shrimp benedict that is unbelievably popular.

“Unity in the kitchen creates a masterpiece on the plate. Together, my team and I blend our skills to serve not just a meal, but an experience”.

Brandon Souris

Goran Tatar comes from Budva and his first kitchen experience dates back to 1997 in the legendary Sveti Stefan Island, long before it became a part of the Aman family. He continued with Aman and spent 15 years with them, travelling the world and working in their kitchens.

Goran joined One&Only last year and sees an enormous perspective for young chefs to grow within this company. As a senior member of the team, he is happy to guide them and help them achieve big things here.

Q. Could you explain your role - since you are the second in command, but still overlooking all the restaurants with the Executive Chef Brandon?

A. In our hierarchy, the job of a sous chef is to know everything and be everywhere, very much involved in the service. Making sure everyone is doing their job, from the assistant positions to sous chefs and chefs of each restaurant. While the Executive Chef is involved in the macro level, Sous Chef is more in touch with day-to-day work in the kitchens.

Q. As a local, which ingredients do you find less used in Montenegro that you would like to highlight in your restaurants?

A. We understand each corner of Montenegro has something special to offer. To start from the north, wild garlic (mne: sremuš) is an extremely healthy plant, essentially being a leafy version of a less pungent garlic. We are going to be using it to make a wild garlic pesto, where wild garlic will replace two ingredients, both basil and garlic.

Then we can talk about many different types of wild mushrooms in the north, as well as the meat, that we are going to highlight in our Steak House offer.

More to the south, olive oil is another amazing ingredient that we are often overlooking. Actually, this would be my favourite ingredient in the kitchen, and we can get very creative with its use. Olive oil ice cream first comes to mind, an unusual, but incredible condiment. Modern kitchen techniques help us make different things like olive oil powders and olive oil snow, that can help us get a different texture into our dishes.

Q. Do you feel you help these young chefs around you with their path to the future?

A. As a senior member of the team, I obviously want to see their careers evolve. It is great to see so many young individuals being willing to work hard and develop themselves as chefs and as people too. I tend to point them in the right direction while not overwhelming them with the old-school kitchen atmosphere.

Within the company, we have a task force programme that helps these young people receive international experience while spreading the word about our local cuisine around the world.

Q. From the menus at One&Only, with such variety for the most discerning taste buds, which is your favourite dish from the selection available?

GT: Very simply, a risotto or a pasta from Sabia, sushi and any fresh fish dish from Tapasake, or a nice steak in our La Veranda, finished in our coal-fired overs.

MEET THE CHEFS

TODOR VUKČEVIĆ - SABIA SOUS CHEF

Todor comes from a family of artists, and he is the youngest of six children. Following tradition, the youngest in the family is the one helping in the kitchen, around special occasions. After a spell in hospitality, Tudor’s calling as a chef brough him to Belgrade and start off his journey on the culinary front.

He has worked for some important regional chefs during his early career, in Belgrade (Serbia) and Split (Croatia). After covid hit, he even started a small start-up and began fermenting vegetables and selling in small jars from a tiny Belgrade apartment. He has practiced his resourcefulness in a tiny kitchen on a yacht, where he needed to adapt even more than in a professional kitchen. Soon a call from Tivat came and even sooner, he became a member of One&Only family. Todor has a passion for the creation of authentic Italian dishes (cuisina de la nonna) with a modern twist - bringing Italian charm into his dishes.

Now he is a sous chef in the Italian restaurant Sabia, ready to continue his journey as a chef.

Q. How have you managed to make your restaurant into a destination in itself, within a destination?

A. The Italian flare with local twists. Our local buzara (famous fish sauce) is a must try, just like the shellfish.

Q. What is your favourite ingredient to work with?

A. Tomato, our local “pink” variety of tomato from Ulcinj. It is by far the sweetest thing you can ever try.

Q. Your favourite dish in the restaurant?

A. I would say my interpretation of an old breakfast combo of tomato and cheese for breakfast, our tomato tartare with burrata and basil pearls.

Q. Your twist on a Montenegrin dish?

A. Actually, our twist on the white buzara with ginger I lemongrass is something I would encourage every local to try!

BOJAN BULATOVIĆ - CHEF DE CUISINE, LA VERANDA STEAK HOUSE

Q. How have you managed to make your restaurant into a destination in itself, within a destination?

A. La Veranda Steak House is about the experience. We are finishing dishes in front of the guests, bringing fire and smoke at the table. This flare is what makes us stand out, but also our ingredients, local meat that we are dry aging inhouse.

Q. What is your favourite ingredient to work with?

A. Chanterelle mushrooms, their earthiness is what I love. I love aromatics as well, lemons, rosemary, thyme and much more.

Q. What is your favourite dish in the restaurant?

A. Of all the meat dishes that we do here, my favourite pick would be a lobster dish actually! Lobster with coconut and vanilla sauce.

Q. And your twist on a Montenegrin dish?

A. We are doing a twist on the Njeguši steak in the restaurant, where we chose a filet mignon as a cut, we serve it with a local cheese and add ham on top to finish off the dish.

ŽELJKO TODIĆ – HEAD PASTRY CHEF

He started off quickly and found himself in a situation where he had to learn fast, and he did. The atmosphere in a heated kitchen and the adrenaline suit well this young martial art aficionado.

What’s interesting is also the fact that Bojan is a forager as well. With his uncle, he used to go to the woods to forage wild mushrooms, a passion he still enjoys today. And we are looking forward to seeing what he does with his drive and passion in La Veranda!

With over 11 years of experience, Željko began his career in different hotels and restaurants across Belgrade. However, feeling uninspired by the local food scene, he sought new challenges in Abu Dhabi, where he joined the largest catering company in the region. There, he found himself immersed in a world of private events, Formula 1 gatherings, and VIP dinners, satisfying his appetite for creativity.

Something interesting happened here. He was moved from the pastry to the kitchen. A whole new world of flavours opened to Željko as he learned different ingredients and spices. Since then, he has been on a mission to explore different flavours and offer interesting flavour combination through his desserts and cakes.

Today Željko is a pastry chef overlooking different venues in One&Only Portonovi, from breakfast, to different restaurants dessert menus, and he explores his creativity in different ways.

Bojan joined One&Only team after spending a year as a sous chef in Thailand’s restaurant listed in the Michelin guide. But his early kitchen days were in Aman Sveti Stefan in Budva, when he was just 14 years old!

Q. What is your favourite restaurant in One&Only family?

A. Anywhere I get to serve fine dining desserts with unusual and interesting flavour combinations

Q. What is your favourite ingredient to work with?

A. Surprisingly perhaps - Pepper. All kinds of pepper. I like the kick that pepper gives to my creations. It is unusual, intriguing, bold.

Q. What is your favourite dish in the restaurant?

A. Pear cake with fennel crème Brule, fennel gazpacho and caramel.

Q. Your twist on a Montenegrin dish?

A. It is more a local ingredient used. A dessert we do now with kajmak ice cream, using local ingredient (Savory) in a dessert, pairing it with strawberries and pink pepper.

RICARDO M. PEREZ - CHEF DE CUISINE, TAPASAKE

Ricardo and Tapasake complement each other - with his warm smile, sparkle in his eyes, optimism, and friendliness – all of which combine into the whole vibrant Tapasake atmosphere. Ricardo is from Madrid originally, but never worked in the kitchens there. As soon as he finished his apprenticeship he left for London and has travelled ever since. With his endearing personality and commitment to perfection, his climb in the kitchens was very steep and fast. It takes a very special character to excel under pressure and live up to the expectations of superiors and guests. Travelling helped him learn about different cuisines, something we will definitely be able to see in his new menu in Tapasake. The famous old saying goes “Gastronomy is the art of using food to create happiness”. Certainly, here at Tapasake, Ricardo and his team have mastered the art – Tapasake is the place to create a celebration and the team’s joy in cooking for others comes together like a maestro and his orchestra delivering an encore performance.

Q. How have you managed to make your restaurant into a destination in itself, within a destination?

A. Tapasake is a crowd pleaser. We have everyone’s favourite sushi, but we mix a lot of flavours to bring bright and interesting dishes to our tables. Peruvian ceviche, Spanish tapas, twists on a local cuisine, anything we can think of.

Q. What is your favourite ingredient to work with?

A. Fresh fish, always fresh fish.

Q. And your favourite dish in the restaurant?

A. As a main dish, we have a fantastic Chilean seabass dish, simply fried and laid on a bed of sauteed vegetables in butter and ponzu sauce. It is a nice portion, with a big piece of amazing fish, paired with bold flavours of vegetables side.

Q. And finally, what is your twist on a Montenegrin dish?

A. We are doing a few twists on local dishes, but a simple one would be my favourite. Local priganice (small doughnuts) with apricot jam and frozen mint sugar.

The team at The Collection had the pleasure and delight to spend a day with this incredible team. One can only admire in awe their passion for this work, dedication to excellence and pure genius in some of their creations. We highly recommend you savour each experience when possible. Thereafter, you will leave with delight and in the knowledge that One&Only Portonovi have brought the world of culinary delights to the region, as never experienced before,

Notably, his role in securing the first Michelin star for the Alfred Keller restaurant and his contributions to achieving 14 Gault Millau points for Hotel Lemongarden showcase his ability to elevate culinary art to unparalleled heights. “My greatest influence, however, is Joe K. Gasser, who is still my mentor to this day. He created me.” – Marić points out.

Marić's philosophy intertwines French culinary foundations with Mediterranean flair and a bit of infusion of Asian cuisine, embodying a commitment to quality that prioritizes locally sourced ingredients without compromising excellence. "The quality of the food is the most important thing to me," Marić emphasizes, showcasing his dedication to crafting dishes that resonate with authenticity and innovation.

Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery

Monte Mulini

It is said that Rovinj has some of the most beautiful sunsets on the Adriatic coast. One way to know for sure is to reserve a good table in one of its excellent restaurants. The other is to just sit on a bench by the sea. There are as many and as unique sunset spots as there are preferences.

For an authentic Croatian experience, Rovinj is the ideal destination. This charming town immerses you in Croatian culture, boasting traditional taverns, historic streets, and Michelin-star culinary delights that pay homage to the country's heritage.

The chances are, this wonderful city on the west coast of Istria will steal your heart with its energy, intertwined cobblestone alleys, and colourful facades. Rovinj is a city of artists, fishermen, and great hosts. Its residents are people who live their lives to the fullest, and they will gladly share that feeling with you. How about a drink on the terrace of one of the lively cafés and small talk with the locals, or a bite of a delicacy such as the famous oysters from the nearby Lim Bay? All that in the shade of narrow streets or out in the open, under the sun. Cobblestone alleys, small, intimate galleries, and museums on the way to the Church of St Euphemia, whose bell tower rises above the picturesque town, are just a touch of what awaits you. Set sail in a traditional batana boat and enjoy the much-talked-about sunsets with a glass of wine straight from Istria’s vineyards. Rovinj also serves as a perfect launchpad for your Croatian adventure in Istria, a green peninsula rich in vineyards, high-quality olive oil, and truffles, all contributing to the region's gourmet offerings.

The sweetness of life pervades the whole Croatian area of Rovinj which can then be discovered also by staying in one of Maistra Collection luxury and premium hotels. A holiday in a Maistra Collection hotel can be both active and relaxed, both hedonistic and nurturing. A wide range of hotels offers an even greater range of experiences. Here you tailor revitalisation according to your preferences. Regardless of ac-

commodation – an artistically designed hotel or a hotel offering a more classic kind of luxury.

THE GRAND PARK HOTEL ROVINJ has it all: one-of-a-kind wellness and spa, an exquisite culinary experience, a marina, and an eyecatching interior designed by famous architect Piero Lissoni. And whenever your eyes get weary, the quickest way to revive them is by enjoying the splendid vista of Rovinj’s old town and St Catherine Island, which can be seen from almost every part of the hotel..

Exploring the local sights will result in memories worth noting. That is why instant cameras and notebooks can be found in all rooms so that you can easily capture and store moments in the journal. And just like that, the leather-bound notebook becomes a tangible memory of your time in Rovinj.

The hotel is connected to the marina by the beautiful Lungomare Plaza promenade, where you can go shopping in exclusive boutiques and enjoy a delicious cake and a drink. Moreover, this place is a celebration of fine dining, where guests can en-

joy supreme delicacies in bars superb restaurants, one of which holds a Michelin star - Agli Amici Rovinj. This restaurant offers a gourmet experience created by the famous chef Emanuele Scarello. Each and every dish is bursting with flavour-filled stories of the centuries-old Italian tradition meeting the specific aromas of Istria and the local coastline, the sea, the earth, and all its many fruits.

Another special gourmet experience at Grand Park can be found in Cap Aureo restaurant located behind glass walls on the hotel 5th floor.

Here chef Jeffrey Vella prepares sensational vegetable-based dishes using the finest local ingredients with a carefully curated wine list. Cap Aureo is mostly inclined to vegetables, and this is the reason why they call themselves a vegetable loving space. The menu is compromising on 20 courses, based on seasonality, locality and love to the area. The wine list has been carefully created to include a number of bubbles and wine labels, vintage champagnes, and sparkling wines, while still wines are mostly the product of Croatian wineries.

To spoil yourself even further, a visit to Albaro Wellness & Spa is a must. Covering an area of 3800 sq. metres, it is the largest facility of this kind in Istria. It extends over two floors of the hotel, both indoors and outdoors.

Just a step away from Grand Park there is another luxury hotel MONTE MULINI that even though it offers an intimate experience of a smaller, relaxed space, prides itself on a rather large and versatile offer – from restaurants inspired by Mediterranean cuisine with an exquisite wine selection, to Mulini Beach which invites you to sip cocktails next to the inviting blue sea under the endless blue sky. Staying in this adult’s exclusive hotel is like visiting a top-notch winery, dining in a fine restaurant, and sleeping in a room with unique views. All at once.

Gourmet wise, not to be missed is Mediterraneo restaurant that offers a dining destination where every moment is an exquisite journey into the heart of gastronomy. Starting from breakfast in a relaxed and peace-

ful ambience where guests can choose between a tempting buffet or à la carte breakfast menu that features a blend of quality locally sourced ingredients and vegan options highlighting the rich flavours of Mediterranean cuisine. When evening comes, the restaurant becomes an elegant evening destination for a memorable dining experience. Three, five or seven-course tasting dinner menus blend the best of Mediterranean and Croatian cuisine with primarily local and seasonal ingredients.

Over 50 different bottles of gin await in the Lobby Bar Gin Library as a great aperitif before experiencing dinner under the stars in the smallest restaurant for two – Amatis.

One of the star attractions at Hotel Monte Mulini is its Art Wellness Spa. Here the timeless classic and luxury is hidden in the details, like cosmetics Recherche Bioloque. Here guests can enjoy revitalising expe-

How does the small luxury hotel hotel in the heart of Tivat differentiate itself from other luxury accommodations in the area, particularly in terms of its unique offerings such as the restaurant, wine bar, and rooftop event space?

The small luxury hotel’s approach to service is deeply ingrained in its identity, aiming to offer an unparalleled level of care and attention to each guest. This is facilitated by the hotel’s relatively small capacity of 20 apartments, which enables the staff to tailor the experience for each guest from the moment they arrive until their departure. The hotel’s restaurant prides itself on a meticulously curated menu that combines local flavors with international cuisine, ensuring a dining experience that is both authentic and globally appealing.

The wine bar is a distinctive feature of the hotel, showcasing an extensive collection of California wines. This unique selection positions the hotel as the exclusive importer of these wines in Montenegro, offering guests an exquisite winetasting experience that can’t be found elsewhere in the area.

The rooftop event space is another jewel in the hotel’s crown. It provides breathtaking views of Tivat and the bay, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for both private and corporate events. The space is designed to offer intimacy and seclusion, featuring a beautiful pool and a mini-bar, making it an ideal location for memorable gatherings.

Can you elaborate on the special features and amenities of the small luxery hotel that contribute to its luxurious experience, beyond the standard offerings found in typical hotels?

Beyond the standard luxuries expected from high-end accommodations, this hotel emphasizes the use of premium materials and thoughtful design to create an atmosphere of exclusivity and comfort. The hotel’s construction and design were overseen by a renowned architectural team, who focused on integrating the building seamlessly with the coastal environment, earning it the moniker of a “sea palace.” This design philosophy extends to ensuring peace and tranquility for guests, with the hotel’s strategic location offering both convenience and a refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life.

By using Montenegro as an architectural backbone, the neighbourhood has been designed to complement the landscape and echo the colours and textures of the destination. Montenegro’s Venetian heritage is reflected in gabled roofs and traditional stone walls. The well-articulated architectural spaces are brought to life using locally sourced stone and wood, offering glimpses of the Montenegrin mountains and Adriatic waters throughout. Uniquely drawing inspiration from the destination’s local heritage, the architectural design combines traditional building materials and techniques with contemporary architecture. The Peaks has been designed with thoughtfully divided spaces to maximise true indoor-outdoor living. Inside, earthy tones and natural materials are paired with bespoke furniture, whilst outdoor options include paved terraced or planted gardens.

SUSTAINABILITY AT ITS CORE

Luštica Bay is dedicated to sustainable design principles, and the Botanika development is no exception. The project incorporates ecoconscious design elements, employing energy-efficient technologies and integrating locally sourced materials throughout to minimise its environmental impact. Light-coloured, high albedo materials reduce heat island effect, whilst thick insulated walls function as thermal mass across both warm and cool seasons. Native plant species have been imbedded throughout the neighbourhood to minimise water consumption and maintenance. Covering just 10% of its 690-hectare site, Luštica Bay’s low density-development is committed to preserving the destination’s natural beauty across all its neighbourhoods.

CONTEMPORARY CONVENIENCE IN A TRADITIONAL SETTING

The villas feature dedicated golf storage and unobstructed views of the neighbouring brand-new golf course. Private pool decks, and terraces with lounge seating and dining areas have been strategically designed to offer residents seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. In the wider neighbour-

hood, pedestrian connectivity is promoted through pavements and trail systems, with access to key outdoor spaces such as the pool, terraces and golf plains, to form a harmonious community. Christina Kontou, Senior Architect at Block722 says of the project: “We are delighted to have collaborated with Luštica Bay on the Botanika villas and to have worked with a common vision to harmoniously combine architectural form and pure nature, reflecting the topological, historical and architectural heritage of Montenegro”.

Marking a significant milestone in the region’s high-end real estate and tourism landscape, The Peaks development and its architectural design continues to establish Luštica Bay as the ultimate coastal destination.

NATURE.EMBRACED.

The design seamlessly integrates the natural shapes and scents of the Luštica Peninsula, preserving native macchia woodlands and garrigue scrublands. The selection of plant species, from evergreen shrubs to culinary herbs, ensures a harmonious blend of green hues with occasional accents of white, purple, pink, and yellow. The landscape design not only reflects the natural beauty of the region but also embraces Luštica's deep cultural heritage. As the development matures, the true value of this visionary approach will become increasingly evident over time.

GAME. RAISED.

With it’s elevated position between Boka Bay and the Adriatic Sea, The Peaks' 18-hole golf course boasts an unrivalled setting with picturesque vistas in every direction. Designed by the esteemed Gary Player Design, who are renowned for their ecological approach, the course seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, creating a harmonious fusion between nature and sport. Each hole has been thoughtfully crafted to maximise the beauty of the landscape, providing golfers with a unique and unforgettable experience.

Seamlessly extending from the course's design to its broader community, the esteemed golf club emerges as a central hub for the sport's connoisseurs, ready to welcome international tournaments and host exclusive gatherings that underscore its global stature.

The semi-detached townhouses in Luštica Bay offer an unmatched living experience with 215 m2 of meticulously designed space that embraces the serene Mediterranean landscape.

A MUST-SEE...

The mountain world around the Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus is spectacular. Natural beauty in the UNESCO natural heritage wherever you look. The wellness experience in the unrivalled active hotel is unforgettable: A Skypool that floats in the landscape and a wellness platform that seems to defy gravity - it's a must-see.

Areal

infinity feeling, endless views, great freedom, architectural masterpieces that make you curious. All this awaits guests at the Hubertus. From the comfort of your bed, admire how the sun bathes the mountains in radiant light. Dine with the great natural cinema in front of your eyes. The Alpin Panorama Hotel has the great fortune of being located at a particularly beautiful panoramic point in the Dolomites. What the hosts have made of it is one of the most beautiful holiday retreats in the Alps.

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.

The Hubertus is a Belvita Leading Wellness Hotel and is magnificently situated in a 7,000 m2 wellness park. The Leading Spa Award certifies the resort's top-class wellness. Ten new spa treatment rooms invite guests to relax and unwind. But the two eye-catchers, whose pictures are going around the world, are undoubtedly the Heaven & Hell wellness platform and the spectacular Skypool.

The Skypool, a masterpiece of design and engineering, offers guests an unparalleled swimming experience high above the valley floor. This floating oasis is a testament to the hotel's commitment to providing unique and memorable experiences for its guests, blending seamlessly with the stunning natural beauty that surrounds it. The idea for this extraordinary infinity pool in the Dolomites with a glass front came from senior host Christian Gasser. At a height of twelve metres, the Skypool, which is heated all year round and is unique in South Tyrol, spreads out like a wing in the unspoilt natural landscape. The water surface merges seamlessly with the impressive mountain world. Borders disappear, the view widens and the window in the floor reveals new perspectives.

Another architectural masterpiece, which – like the spectacular Skypool – floats between sky and earth is Heaven & Hell, the elegant platform that is turning wellness upside down – quite literally. An awe-inspiring view leads the gaze from high to low.

Between the bright blue sky and the idyllic valley floats the extraordinary wellness area that overshadows everything that came before. The elegant huts, some of which are positioned upside down on the underside of the graceful platform, are reminiscent of the traditional mountain cabins that adorn the gentle high-Alpine meadows in this unique setting. This spectacular, free-floating steel platform with two floors is connected to the hotel’s new relaxation room via an elegant walkway and gives guests a new perspective of wellness. The visitor’s gaze drifts far out over valley and mountains until it reaches the world’s most stunning UNESCO heritage: the Dolomites. While the pleasantly warm water gently caresses the body in the lie-down or seated whirlpools on the upper level, one sinks into the beauty of nature and believes to have arrived in heaven. On the lower level, where the laws of gravity are seemingly suspended, wellness is turned upside down. In Hell, as the nude area is known, things really heat up. As well as two saunas and a nude whirlpool, guests can look forward to an ice room and a heavenly view of the mountains.

The Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus invites you with a total of nine heated pools, eight saunas, several relaxation rooms and countless wellness and beauty treatments that utilise the power of nature to relax de luxe.

The Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus invites you with a total of nine heated pools, eight saunas, several relaxation rooms and countless wellness and beauty treatments that utilise the power of nature to relax de luxe. In the Hubertus Park, connoisseurs can stroll around the hotel through South Tyrolean fruit trees, smell typical herbs, play on the handmade wooden bowling alley, or simply enjoy the unique tranquillity and the fantastic view of the mountains. If you like to meditate, come to the fireplace.

SPEND YOUR NIGHTS ON CLOUD NINE.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of South Tyrol, the Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus offers an exceptional lodging experience that seamlessly blends the charm of alpine aesthetics with modern luxury. Each room and suite in the hotel is designed with meticulous attention to detail, providing a unique ambiance that resonates with the natural surroundings while ensuring the utmost comfort for its guests. Large windows and balconies offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the stunning beauty of the area from the comfort of their rooms.

Imagine relaxing on your private balcony or in the garden, immersed in the soothing warmth of your own jacuzzi, with the panoramic splendour of the mountains unfolding before your eyes. The Wellness Suite Lumes makes this dream a reality, providing an idyllic retreat for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of nature.

Dining with a view. On the plates of the gourmet hotel, down-to-earth traditional South Tyrolean dishes meet light Mediterranean delicacies and refined specialities from all over the world. At the Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus, every meal is an opportunity to explore a rich palette of tastes and aromas, perfectly paired with the breathtaking scenery of South Tyrol. It's a place where the passion for food and love for nature coalesce, offering guests not just a meal, but a memorable culinary adventure. Under the direction of the internationally experienced chef Antonio Triscari, who is celebrated for his culinary art, the Hubertus kitchen fuses the cool north with the hot south. The result is a delightful explosion of flavours, served in the beautiful restaurant with a unique view. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer diners an uninterrupted view of the enchanting Puster Valley, creating an idyllic backdrop for every meal. Whether basking in the morning light during breakfast, enjoying the golden hues of sunset during dinner, or under the starlit sky, the view adds an unparalleled dimension to the dining experience.

LUXURY ACTIVE HOLIDAYS.

Up to fifteen times a week, the Hubertus hiking and activity guides take their mountain-loving guests out into nature on highlight tours. The Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park and the Rieserferner Group are within easy reach. Cycling and Nordic walking, sunrise hikes, farm visits and mountain tours - there are many ways to actively enjoy the summer. The images of wide, unspoilt alpine landscapes, mountain peaks and peaceful mountain villages will stay in your memories forever. Additionally, guests can choose from a variety of indoor activities designed to keep body and mind active and relaxed while staying inside. The activities included are for example water gymnastics, aerobics and stretching, which take place under professional guidance and are suitable for all fitness levels. Fitness enthusiasts will also get their money's worth in the modern fitness room. The hotel offers regular guided yoga and pilates classes that bring body and mind into harmony and ensure a balanced holiday as well.

HUBERTUS GOES GREEN.

Hotel Hubertus is leading the way in the hospitality industry with its commitment to sustainability, striking a balance between luxurious accommodation and environmental responsibility. The hotel employs innovative strategies to ensure energy efficiency and resource conservation. It utilizes for example local wood chips for heating and photovoltaic systems for electricity generation. The hotel's dedication to the local economy and environment is further demonstrated by its preference for local products and materials, which not only supports area businesses but also reduces transportation emissions. Hotel Hubertus not only offers guests a luxurious stay, but also preserves the natural beauty of the surroundings for future generations.

A unique boutique experience in the heart of Julian Alps, Slovenia

Chop slice, mix and stir! Let it boil, simmer, hiss! Be the chef! The kitchen is now open.

BY KARISMA

ONE OF THE EUROPE'S FINEST FOOD HAVENS

In the heart of Slovenia's Ribnica Valley lies a culinary treasure trove with roots dating back centuries. BioSing, founded by the passionate craftsman David Lesar, embodies the essence of traditional craftsmanship infused with modern innovation. Since 1492, Ribnica has been renowned for its wooden wares, but it's the ancient art of curing and drying meats that has truly captured the essence of this region.

At BioSing, tradition meets innovation in every bite. The art of crafting boutique cured meats of unparalleled quality is a testament to David's commitment to his craft. Using only the finest ingredients and adhering to traditional methods passed down through generations, BioSing offers a tantalizing array of cured meats that redefine gourmet indulgence. From salamis made from bear, deer, and pork to the exclusive G-LINE salamis aged for several years, each bite is a symphony of flavors that speaks to the soul of Slovenia's culinary heritage.

A visit to BioSing's cellar is an experience like no other. Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Ribnica Valley, guests are treated to a theatrical tasting experience that combines the finest cured meats with carefully selected natural wines. The result? A culinary journey that transcends the ordinary and elevates the senses to new heights.

But BioSing's acclaim extends far beyond the borders of Slovenia. Their creations grace the menus of some of the world's top restaurants, including Michelin-starred establishments, JRE elite dining venues, and those featured in the prestigious Top50 list. Their inclusion in culinary guides like GAULT MILAU and participation in renowned events such as the EUROPEAN FOOD SUMMIT and CHEFS STAGE underscore their standing in the culinary world.

BioSing's accolades continue with recognition from esteemed food experts and publications. From the Michelin Guide to influential figures like Andrea Petrini of GELINAZ, their creations have garnered widespread acclaim. The Matador Network selected BioSing alongside only two other Slovenian producers for a culinary documentary, highlighting their significance in the gastronomic landscape.

Opinions and statements by the most influential people in the gourmet world about BioSing:

Andrea Petrini-global food critic (One of the most powerful figures in food):

“I just tasted in Slovenia the best niche and topnotch charcuterie ever and it comes from the life commitment of a young local genius, David Lesar.”

Maurilio Garola (La Ciau del Tornavento *): “The Rolex salami”

Nicolai Norregard (KADEAU **):

“The Bear Salami legend, David Lesar is one of the most passionate and dedicated people I have ever met! Truly inspiring. The ten years cured bear salami was mind blowing!”

Ana Roš (HIŠA FRANKO ***):

“The taste hell amazing!”

Rene Redzepi (NOMA ***):

“Enjoy the best bear salami.”

Michelin guide:

“Meet David Lesar the young and dynamic owner of BioSing, a small, dried meat company which makes of the finest salamis in the country”

Identita Golose:

“BioSing, la Rolls-Royce dei salumi Sloveni”

Senzacamedi:”BioSing Erzeugnisse nicht zu verkosten wäre eine verpasste Chance auf den Gourmet Himmel”

Der Feinschmecker:

“BioSing Salami vom Braunbären ist ein echter Geheimtipp. Wir haben uns an Sloweniens Geschmakswunder herangepirscht.”

Kaja Sajovic (International food critic, journalist):

“The craziest salami place you can find anywhere.”

Moreover, BioSing's collaboration with globally renowned restaurants and inclusion in luxury gourmet tours further cements their status as purveyors of gastronomic excellence. From hosting teams from acclaimed establishments like Hiša Franko and Mirazur to being featured in culinary narratives curated by industry insiders, BioSing's story is one of unparalleled success and innovation.

In the tapestry of Slovenia's gastronomic heritage, BioSing stands out as a beacon of tradition, innovation, and epicurean delight. As they continue to redefine gourmet indulgence, one bite at a time, BioSing invites you to savor the essence of culinary excellence and embark on a journey through the world's finest flavors.

A visit to BioSing's cellar is an experience like no other. Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Ribnica Valley, guests are treated to a theatrical tasting experience that combines the finest cured meats with carefully selected natural wines.

The Way I see It

• I see the name BioSing as an abbreviation for Bio Salami Engineering, as the production has been re-engineered from scratch: from the careful selection of the meat, through the attentive processing until the final touches, the presentation, and the tasting.

• I am proud of my origins, of the traditional pedlars' knowledge, of my land, the pristine air and clear waters, of all the ingredients that are needed for a premium product.

• The result are gourmet products and selected aromas that open new horizons.

• The salami and sausages are premium selection products prepared for people who value great taste. You will not find them in regular shops as tasting these products is and should be a special experience.

• The BioSing products have been created for tasting and combining with selection wines.

• I have decided to bring back production from an industrial approach back to its roots, to craftmanship. I have dropped all preservatives, additives, and industrial shortcuts. While sticking to the highest standards, I strive to achieve the fullest and richest aromas, peculiar bouquets, and natural flavours.

• The products are partly smoked in a natural way The specially prepared smoke from beech wood is slowly cooled down in clay underground tubes to maintain the esters that give the products their fine aroma.

• I am very glad that the BioSing products do not contain additives, as they are not only natural and pristine, but I believe them to be true remedies. The meat is fermented by naturally present microorganisms and, containing large amounts of probiotics, are to be considered complex food.

• The carefully selected meat is only processed during the right lunar phase.

• The meat and the ham are not grounded but cubed. We have obtained the international BIO manufacturing certificate.

• We almost use exclusively organic pork of the heirloom variety of Krško Polje. The meat contains considerable amounts and optimum ratios of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids. The meat comes with 75% less cholesterol than farmed pork and half the cholesterol of farmed beef and poultry.

• Premium products require premium serving patented serving plate the BioSing SERVIR serving set, a special timber cutter.

• The products are aged in in special, naturally ventilated underground clay chambers with manual regulation of temperature. The hyphae of the white moulds can therefore naturally grow through the casings and thus release the lipolytic and proteolytic enzymes into the meat. This has a remarkable impact on the ageing and gives BioSing products their supreme and delicate taste.

David Lesar, founder and the driving force behind BioSing

A tasting in the cellar BioSing is an epic experience since pairing with large selection of the natural and world's best wines (one of the largest collections of top wines in the region, approx. 10,000 bottles).

Follow your senses to the place of ultimate indulgence. Opatija Riviera awaits!

Very nice attention to detail. We will come back. If only we would have stayed longer! It is quite impressive arriving at an iron gate, opening up to a tree-lined driveway where at the end staff is waiting to welcome you. What followed was even more impressive...

The Meneghetti experience is outstanding. Every detail, from the service to the facilities, is exquisite and one of the rare, truly 5-star establishments. The restaurant is impeccable, for both dinner and breakfast - standouts being the pork cheek and eggs benedict. Our short stay has left us wanting more and we will be back!

In 1895 the palace began to serve as a hotel – named hotel De la Ville. During the second half of the 20th century, the hotel again changes its name to Dubravka and this tradition of hospitality continues today. Following the adaptation according to the strict UNESCO guidelines, after the war, using traditional con-

struction methods and materials, this magnificent building was reborn in its original grandeur, opening its door in 2002 as a first Croatian boutique hotel, The Pucić Palace. A place full of textures, sounds, smells, and sensations that traverse time.

Wow - what a gem!

This hotel has got everything right. The staff are all very helpful and cant do enough to make your stay special. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the most lovely host - big shout out to Antoni on reception - who helped us with our luggage through the back streets, as the taxi was unable to bring us closer due to the construction work at the front of the hotel.

A PERFECT PLACE TO CELEBRATE LIFE

INTERVIEW - MR. MYKHAILO SHMATOV, GENERAL MANAGER OF NIKKI BEACH RESORT & SPA MONTENEGRO

Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Montenegro is currently the latest venue to open from the globally renowned Nikki Beach Global brand which encompasses 5 resorts, 11 beach clubs, and residences, with properties in Oman, Azerbaijan, Antigua and Ras Al Khaimah set to open in the coming years. What defines the brand DNA of Nikki Beach?

Nikki Beach has organically grown into a global lifestyle and hospitality company strictly by word of mouth and a contagious ‘Celebration of Life’ mentality. Our original beach club in Miami Beach was a secret that guests discussed only among their closest friends and family, which kept our growth authentic and mighty. By encouraging our visitors to ‘Tell Only Your Best Friends’, the brand has developed a ‘tribe’ of regulars who are now eager to enjoy a barefoot luxury experience at our destinations worldwide. This niche community is at the core of our brand and is a testament to our loyal customers who return to Nikki Beach year after year.

As we reflect on 25 years in business, we look back on what’s made the brand so strong. Much of our success can be attributed to our six signature elements - music, dining, entertainment, fashion, film and art – which we seamlessly intertwine to create the magic of Nikki Beach. Each element is present daily in the way we run our business, creating an atmosphere that caters to foodies, culture seekers, art enthusiasts, and fashionistas all across the globe.

At that point what is the secret of Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Montenegro that makes it unique in particular?

It is also a complex of features we are proud of. The most obvious answer would be the location: we are nestled on the shores of the Mediterranean’s only fjord, Boka Bay, with stunning panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. Guests are often left awe-inspired by the majestic mountain views while they relax and indulge in cocktails by the infinity pool. Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Montenegro has two private jetties and six anchors, which makes it a perfect spot for guests coming on yachts. For those seeking a vibrant atmosphere, our beach club stands out as a unique place for music lovers, where they can enjoy tunes from guests and resident DJs while enjoying creative coastal cuisine, finest champagne, and signature cocktails. With a range of amenities and spectacular surroundings, Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Montenegro’s magical waterfront property perfectly captures the spirit of the Mediterranean and offers something for all types of visitors.

Additionally, the steadfast support of the local community is integral to our success. We prioritize sourcing the freshest ingredients, including fish, meat, and vegetables, directly from local farmers. It’s worth noting that our company also provides opportunities for locals to gain international professional experience and build careers within the Nikki Beach Global family.

What are your expectations of the season to come?

We are preparing for an outstanding season, probably one of the busiest in the history of Nikki Beach Montenegro. Such trendy DJs as KC Lights, Natalia Paris, Amine K, HVMZA, and Joezi are taking the stage in Nikki Beach Montenegro in 2024: in total 12 guest DJs are going to perform with us this

summer. In July and September two signature Nikki Beach events - the White Party and the Red Partyare coming back to us after a year of absence, as well as a series of Nikki Beach theme parties throughout the season.

We are also concentrating on the dining experience in our restaurant, implementing delightful experiences at Nikki Beach Restaurant and featuring Michelin-star Dinner in May, a Full-moon Dinner in July, and introducing the concept of Amazing Sunday Brunches taking place last Sunday of each month. Apart from that we have extended our dining offers and developed a brand-new evening menu, highlighting the blend of the local and Mediterranean cuisines.

As for the hotel, our outdoor pools, surrounded by palm trees and facing the islands of St. Marko and our Lady of Mercy have been upgraded with heating and new vegetation. Furthermore, we are introducing 4 new rooms and a new suite category with state-ofthe-art amenities and authentic design.

How would you rate Montenegro as a luxury destination compared to other destinations?

Montenegro has been increasingly recognized as a luxury destination in recent years due to its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and upscale accommodations. It offers a mix of luxurious seaside resorts, boutique hotels, and high-end experiences catering to discerning travelers. In comparison to other luxury destinations, Montenegro may offer a more intimate and authentic experience, as it is still emerging as a luxury destination compared to more established ones on the Mediterranean coast. However, Montenegro’s charm lies in its unspoiled landscapes, exclusive yacht clubs, and luxury villa rentals, making it an attractive option for those seeking luxury in a less crowded and more off-thebeaten-path setting.

Situated in an exclusive yachting paradise – and accessible by boat – the beach club’s multi-level layout is stylish and sophisticated. The barefoot luxury ambiance is perfectly complemented by the upbeat music played throughout the venue from live saxophonists as well as guest and resident DJs. T:

Folie Village SOON TO BE THE NEW LANDMARK OF THE SOUTH OF ALBANIA

An ambitious project developed by Millennium Group Albania

As a leader in the industry, Millennium Group brings passion, innovation, and decades of expertise to every project, creating spaces that inspire and endure. The mission in 25 years has been to build more than structures; to build relationships, trust, and a legacy of excellence.

Located in the iconic half-moon shaped bay of Jale, Folie Village Creates "Artful Choreography" On Albania's Southern Coast. Oppenheim Architecture has designed a new concept of living through this modern, luxury and high-end development, comprising of private villas and seafront apartments for sale.

Evolving the local architectural heritage and spirit to create a sympathetic and timeless response, it will be the perfect getaway gem of the Mediterranean.

Composed of tightly clustered buildings, the project will include private villas starting from 160 m2 , family villas or the exclusive atrium villas starting from 600 m2, as well as seaview and penthouse apartments for sale. It will offer commercial spaces such as shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, as well as amenity spaces and supporting programs such as a world class spa, fitness suite, exclusive rooftops and vibrant beachside club, casino and event spaces.

The project has started construction and will open by 2026. Set to be built in Jale, the project draws inspiration from the rich vernacular and site ecologies found in the nearby villages of Vuno and Dhermi.

By grounding itself in Jala, the project aims to achieve a sensitivity towards man and nature, harmonizing with its context.

Connecting to the existing fabric of Jale and Folie Marine has been operating from 14 years now as one of the most prestigious resorts in Albania, the project aims to build a series of interconnected villages, each with a unique theme manifested in their architectural, material and spatial expression. Each provides an urban landmark and a destination for others to explore.

Learning from Vuno, the design aims at creating a tourist development with its spatial and governing principles closer to the neighboring historic context, rather than deploying a relentless replication of structures typical for many resort villages. The design goal is to achieve the urban nuances, characteristic of the small Albanian villages, of dense

residential areas mixed with larger urban spaces and commercial areas where a multiplicity of activities could occur.

Deploying the design approach across the macro scale should result in the creation of a constellation of small villages, each self-sufficient and unique in its character, however closely connected with the others. A forested conservation area is envisioned as a natural boundary and green milieu between the different settlements.

ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION

The project focuses on creating unique village clusters rather than a single large-scale resort with no visible distinctions. Place making occurs by offering diverse experiences in each destination as the goal of the design is to generate an all-year-round urban settlements which could attract residents from other areas in Albania and not only. The mixed used building typologies along with the conservation of natural landscapes will support the community building process. From business perspective the project aims to maximize the return on investment by achieving high density areas and exceeding the initially projected.

From luxurious villas carved into the cliffs above the sea, to minimal-

istic wood and thatch roof cabanas in surrounded by vegetation, to a modern interpretation of vernacular village houses - each residential unit across the master plan site is carefully designed to fit within its surroundings and the overall theme of the nukli it is in. The result achieves visually recognizable zones with unique identity which draw visitors in and give inhabitants a sense of place and belonging.

NEW 5 STARS SUPERIOR LUXURY HOTEL

The site for the New Luxury Hotel is perched atop a dramatic hillside facing the Adriatic Sea. The region and the nearby village of Dhermi is steeped in Albanian and Greek cultures. Oppenheim Architecture were invited by Millennium Group to develop an architectural design that would inform the place, brand and business plan for the new destination as a sanctuary for elite guests with unique experience.

The concept uses these elements reinterpreted for a contemporary context—arches, loggias, courtyards, louvres, and planted verandas, along with a juxtaposition with modern shiny brass claddings. Intimate volumes and spaces between buildings instill a sense of walking about

Millennium Group's Triumphant Trio of Luxe Retreats

Millennium Group is redefining coastal luxury with 3 new hotels coming soon in Jale Bay by 2026, Jale Hotel, The Rock Hotel and a New 5 Star Superior Luxury Hotel

an historic village.

Courtyards, loggias, and walkways create framed views of the sea, and provide shade and privacy on site. Terraced stone-clad buildings with arched openings honor local Albanian architecture. Buildings are stepped and terraced with the land contours.

Pools and native landscapes help to cool outdoor spaces, while a series of loggias provide shelter, shadow, and movement. As guests moves though the spaces of the retreat, contemporary elements, such as a casino, a sub terrane spa as well as private and the longest infinity edge pool in the region, reveal the complete nature and character of the hotel.

With around 120 keys for rooms and suites, the complex is designed as a cascading village of low-rise buildings, assembled to create a village. This village scale is authentic to the architectural vernacular and its sense of place — a project that respects the past, while providing a timeless experience for visitors to this extraordinary place.

JALE HOTEL

Along with the New Luxury Hotel, another visionary concept by Oppenheim Architecture, Jale Hotel has also started construction. Situated on a sprawling 7500-square meter coastal plot, this seaside hotel is a marvel of modern architecture and functional design. The accommodation portfolio boasts a variety of 120 rooms and suites, with select units featuring private balconies overlooking the pristine waters. A seamlessly integrated 2500-square meter retail area within the hotel complex hosts a variety of bars, restaurants offering diverse culinary experiences, and a vibrant club, ensuring that guests have a plethora of entertainment options at their doorstep. The convenience of an underground parking facility has been prioritized, providing secure and efficient space for guests.

In addition to the core offerings, the hotel features a comprehensive array of amenities. A state-of-the-art spa invites guests to indulge in re-

ODLUČIO SAM DA NASTAVIM ĐE SU MOJI PRAĐEDOVI STALI

Stefan Kašćelan (vlasnik vinarije): " Još kao dječak sam sa svojim ocem i stricem, kako je to i u svakom crnogorskom domaćinstvu tradicija, proizvodio rakiju i vino, pa je ljubav prema samoj proizvodnji i uzgoju vinove loze godinama rasla. Uvijek sam sanjao kako ću jednog dana na imanju mojih predaka napraviti vinariju, koja će biti ponos, ne samo moje porodice, već i cijele Crne Gore. Ovo selo se nalazi na južnoj padini Lovćena, te je cijelim danom okupano suncem od istoka do zapada, a uz to nas prati svježi povjetarac i sudar lovćenske i primorske klime, što sve zajedno čini Mirac idealnim mjestom za uzgoj vinove loze. Takođe, napomenuo bih da postoje brojni zapisi koji potvrđuju da je Mirac i samo područje Kotora, bilo idealno mjesto za uzgoj vinove loze. Nažalost, ta tradicija je vremenom zapostavljena, a u meni postoji neopisiva želja da tu tradiciju vratim i opet stavim kotorski region na mapu svjetskih vina.

Stoga pozivam sve ljubitelje vina, hrane i prirode da nas obiđu i čuju našu priču.

How do you foresee your market in 2024 and beyond? What is the probable price growth, the arrival of new projects, buyer profile and nationality changes, etc.

Croatia continues to stand out as the premier destination for buyers and investors within the European Union. Interest in Croatian properties is rising from neighboring countries, the USA and Australia. This surge in interest is particularly evident among clients with familial or cultural ties to Croatia.

Market stability prevails despite expectations of slightly fewer transactions in the current year. Looking ahead, our projections are optimistic, with anticipated growth over the next few years. This growth is primarily fueled by investments in resorts, further firming Croatia's status as a sought-after destination.

The initiation of resort construction is a welcome development, notably exem-

plified by projects like the Petram Resort & Residences. We're optimistic that this trend will persist, heralding many advantages aligned with global luxury trends. This includes integrating renowned international brands across various sectors such as tourism, gastronomy, and commerce.

Such developments elevate Croatia's appeal as a premier destination and signify its alignment with contemporary luxury preferences.

The influx of top international brands attracted by these investments will play a pivotal role in enhancing the tourism sector, positively impacting the economy and society.

Regarding pricing, stability is expected to persist, with no significant room for corrections in the near future.

on the world stage when it comes to the variety of international hotel brands, entering the real estate segment, with branded product and this is a key focus for us going forward. This product meets the expectations and lifestyle of our buyer profile, who are looking for a hassle-free investment product to act as a yield producing asset with capital growth – but also with the ability to use as desired to enjoy majestic Montenegro. We would expect moderate price growth in 2024 for completed product, but much more attractive returns for investors entering new ‘yet to be completed’ product, from reputable developers.

What are some key insights and your tips of areas or property types which potential buyers should be aware of for future potential growth?

History has shown us and hopefully will repeat itself, that buying off plan from reputable developers such as Porto Montenegro, Lustica

Bay, PortoNovi and others, has delivered considerable upside as the project grows over time. New phases of off-plan product in these projects and others are worth serious consideration. Otherwise, anything unique, such as in Kotor Old Town or waterfront, are always a sound investment, as they can never be repeated.

What are the primary challenges your agency faces in the current real estate landscape, and how do you address them?

Firstly, we are delighted to be a founding member of the new association of real estate agents (UANCG) who are spearheading new legislation that will come into force this year to regulate how agencies operate in the industry. Currently, we have up to 400 competitors, of which over 60% are not legally operating in the industry. This is a major challenge for us and our other international peers as we strive to establish a transparent

and professional standard in the industry. This new legislation will bring others that want to work in the industry under a new set of rules that will ensure clients of agencies are protected and provided with quality and transparent service as well as ensuring the government is receiving income from this industry in the form of VAT etc.

What are the most interesting and exciting properties currently in your portfolio (any history or interesting facts?

We asked our colleagues from our Kotor team to introduce themselves and tell us about their favourite property currently on the market. There is no better advice than local advice. Here is what the team has to offer.

Kieran Kelleher, Director Dream Estates Montenegro

Kotor Bay has been home for 6 years, so, I know the location, ‘like the back of my hand’. Although we have a substantial number of properties for sale, now and again, one pops up that catches my attention, and I am happy to feature this waterfront villa as my personal favourite.

What fascinates me the most about the Bay of Kotor is the stunning natural contrasts and colours, regardless of the season. The surrounding mountains, the green-blue waters of the bay, and the vibrant sunsets are simply breath-taking. The Bay of Kotor has also a rich history and culture that is

evident in every corner of the area. From the ancient fortifications to the traditional architecture of the local villages, there is always something new to discover and explore. It is a true jewel of the country, and its reputation as a must-see destination is well-deserved. I feel privileged to be a part of this community and to have the opportunity to share its beauty and potential with our clients.

The small fisherman villages in the bay with their charming stone houses are very attractive for my future neighbours.

This beautiful and authentic stone villa, recently renovated, with a swimming pool and stunning panoramic views of the bay. Located in the heart of the coastal village of Muo, on the first line to the sea, this villa is only 2km away from Kotor Old Town. Divided into two levels, the villa has front terraces on each floor. The ground level comprises a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, another bedroom, a bathroom, and a utility room. On the first level of the villa, you'll find an open plan living and dining area, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The villa sits on a 500m2 land plot, with a large swimming pool and a parking area that can accommodate up to two vehicles. This villa is a wonderful investment opportunity, for capital growth and rental income or for my new neighbours who simply wish to enjoy their holidays and experience the beauty of the bay.

“My Dream Waterfront Villa, with a Private Pool in Kotor Bay” (€695,000)

Ana Miličević (Senior Sales Associate)

“Taking a Step Back in History with a Modern-day Twist close to Tivat” (€1.5m)

Throughout my career as a senior real estate agent, I've had the pleasure of assisting clients from various nationalities who swiftly developed a deep appreciation for the charm of Boka Bay, including its medieval towns and architecture. Many are inspired to own a holiday home that captures the essence of this captivating region, whether it be a beautifully restored stone house or a renovation project, which they can personalize to their tastes.

An outstanding example of the well restored stone house in this region is located in Lepetane, a small coastal village in the Tivat municipality. This villa, equipped with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, is situated just steps away from the sea and what sets this property apart are its airy and bright rooms, along with ample outdoor space. A Mediterranean garden with a barbecue area lies just in front of the villa. Additionally, the property features a spacious backyard with two separate patios, and if future owners desire, there is plenty of space for installing a private swimming pool. This unique property’s frontline location ensures future owners will enjoy uninterrupted views of the bay. Conveniently situated near two airports – Tivat and Dubrovnik – and just a few minutes’ drive from Tivat Centre, this property presents an excellent investment opportunity and can be easily rented out during the season.

“I simply said “WOW”. Stunning Villa with pool and million-dollar view in Budva” (€1.6m)

What I've discovered in my experience as a real estate agent is that the most exclusive properties are often found in remote areas, prioritizing privacy and tranquillity—the ultimate luxuries of the modern age. A particular example of such property is located in Tudorovici, one of the oldest villages of Pastrovici, in the municipality of Budva. This brand-new exclusive property is designed and structured as a boutique hotel and consists of 5 units, a fully equipped restaurant situated on the ground floor, and a swimming pool. Delivered to the highest standards with breath-taking and commanding views of the sea and Sveti Stefan Island, this property is waiting for clients to embark on a thriving business venture.

Zorana Vuković (Sales Associate)

“The Garden had me at Hello! Idyllic House with Mediterranean Garden” (€799,000)

Growing up in Kotor, I have been fortunate to live surrounded by the beauty of this region. Since I commenced working as the Office Manager at Dream Estates – Savills Montenegro, I have had the opportunity to explore numerous exquisite properties that enhance the charm of our surroundings. One such property that captured my attention is a fully restored traditional stone farmhouse, located in the maritime village of Prčanj. The house consists of an open plan living and dining area with a kitchen, room for family gatherings, 4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. The contemporary interior is complemented by traditional Montenegrin elements, creating a unique blend of modernity and heritage. Outside the house is a covered patio, a mature Mediterranean garden, a stone BBQ, and gated parking for two vehicles. But for me, it’s all about the garden! Surrounded by pine and olive trees, this house is a true sanctuary, where you can unwind and enjoy amazing views of Boka Bay extending to Lovćen mountain.

Dream Estates Croatia

An International Associate of Savills

Dream

Estates Croatia has been the exclusive associate of global real estate services group, Savills, for more than 20 years. As Savills associates in both Croatia and Montenegro, this allows us to provide a broader range of choices to our clients and an opportunity to study 2 markets under the umbrella of one company. Both markets are very different when it comes to all aspects of property choice, price points, lifestyle options and buyer’s profiles. Whereas Montenegro certainly has excelled in attracting global brands and snazzy mixeduse resorts, Croatia has advanced in terms of access and infrastructure. However, the 2 countries’ real estate markets have more in common than divides them and from a travel and investment perspective, guests are increasingly seeing one coastline as an extension of the other. Vedrana Kelleher, owner and director of Dream Estates Croatia discusses the business and the market in this feature.

Tell us about your history, experience, and expertise in your respective market including why sellers and buyers should choose you as their preferred partner?

Dream Estates Croatia, the exclusive associate of global real estate services group, Savills, have been present in the market for more than 20 years, operating from their head office in Dubrovnik. Dream Estates / Savills Croatia operate in two key market segments – transactional sales and Development Consultancy Advisory. Over our 20 years’ experience in Croatia, we have looked after the property needs of hundreds of clients from more than 30 countries. In turn, we have been development advisors to practically all pipeline product on the Adriatic.

How do you foresee your market in 2024 and beyond? What is the probable price growth, the arrival of new projects, buyer profile and nationality changes etc).

We operate in 3 distinct regions in Croatia – Istria in the north, The Split region and Islands and of course, the Dubrovnik Riviera. Each region has its own characteristics as regards

buyer profile, price points and supply. The Croatian diaspora remains very strong across all markets. Istria is dominated by the ‘drive to market’ from Western Europe with Germans, Austrians and Slovenians expected to be the predominant buyers and a good pipeline of supply, particularly of inland villas. Price growth in the region is expected to continue to deliver up to 5% per annum. The Split region has really redefined itself over recent years from a place to pass through to becoming a real destination. This is reflected in very strong price growth which is expected to continue this year. Supply is moderate and the absence of significantly sized mixed use resorts is discussed further below. The Split region is dominated by regional 2nd home buyers with a younger age profile.

Dubrovnik continues to be the shining star as regards price growth and rental yields. The lack of supply in the market driving both year on year. With price for prime properties reaching EUR10,000 / m2, demand continues to be very strong from an older age profile of Western European buyers or locals looking for rental income. Strong demand is seen from the Croatian diaspora and neighbouring countries, seeking to have

a dream home in the Dubrovnik Region. The demand from the diaspora group is usually originating from the USA, Canada, Australia and Western Europe.

What are some key insights and your tips of areas or property types which potential buyers should be aware of for future potential growth? For yields of over net 5%, and yearly capital growth, investors can rarely go wrong with property in Dubrovnik in their portfolio. We do expect changes to the planning laws this year to restrict rental properties in the Old Town of Dubrovnik, to allow, rightfully, citizens to enter the market, so this window of opportunity is narrowing within the town.

What are the primary challenges your agency faces in the current real estate landscape, and how do you address them?

The main issue we face in Croatia, which has been overcome by neighbouring Montenegro, is the delivery of large-scale mixed-use resorts. While Montenegro has delivered top-class branded hotels and resorts, the planning process and laws in Croatia are a detriment to investors.

Green sites for development tendered by the government come with typically a 99-year lease and no visibility as to what happens thereafter. In turn, the timeline to get a project through planning and to the market can take more than 5 years. In markets such as Dubrovnik, we are missing the ‘software’ such as shopping and entertainment to meet the expectations of investors paying such prices. In essence, we are missing a vision and strategy in real estate as we are in tourism goals. There is a significant pent-up demand for exclusive high-quality villas and apartments which is not being met.

We are very pleased to have been involved in development consultancy – advising developers of pipeline mixed use resorts in Dubrovnik, Split and Istria which will bring a significant new level of luxury and branded residences to the market once approved. We commonly remind stakeholders that the value brought by a project such as Porto Montenegro can be seen first-hand in Tivat, where everyone is a winner. Especially the locality, proven in Tivat, which now has one of the highest prices for real estate on The Adriatic, not factoring in Porto Montenegro.

In 2024 and beyond, the Montenegrin luxury real estate market is poised to elevate Montenegro as a destination to the next level, not only demand-wise but with the product offerings. We anticipate sustained demand driven by several factors, including the country's growing popularity as a premier destination for luxury living, investment opportunities, and lifestyle experiences.

Price growth is expected to remain robust, fueled by increasing demand from both domestic and international buyers seeking premium properties along the stunning Adriatic coastline. On the other end, most significant movements in the high-end real estate market have been noticed in the North of the country with the development of premium ski resort properties. Both the traditionally developed coastal market and the emerging projects in the North are absolutely competitive with the most exclusive Christie’s destinations around the globe. Montenegro's favorable tax environment and burgeoning tourism sector further contribute to its appeal among high-net-worth individuals seeking second homes or investment opportunities.

What are some key insights and your tips of areas or property types which potential buyers should be aware of for future potential growth?

Waterfront and Ski-in ski-out Properties: These properties with such distinctive positions typically retain their value and demonstrate strong appreciation over time.

Impeccable views: Properties gaining popularity, compared to waterfront ones are the products positioned above the hotspot locations with unparalleled views, offering seclusion and serenity. These properties are still not as valued in Montenegro and therefore offer a great opportunity for growth.

Lifestyle Amenities: Properties offering a unique lifestyle experience, such as access to marinas, golf courses, wellness centers, and cultural attractions, tend to attract discerning

How do you foresee your market in 2024 and beyond? What is the probable price growth, arrival of new projects, buyer profile and nationality changes etc?

The Serbian real estate market in 2024 and beyond is poised for a period of steady growth and transformation, reflecting a blend of enduring appeal and emerging trends. The market's trajectory is influenced by a mix of traditional investor confidence, evolving buyer preferences, and demographic shifts, all set against the backdrop of global and local developments.

Market Stability and Price Growth

Given the prevailing investor sentiment for security and stability, the Serbian real estate market is unlikely to see drastic price declines. Instead, a steady or moderate price growth can be expected, particularly in sectors and locations that align with current and emerging trends. Projects along rivers and those aligned with the urbanization of cities, especially with an eye on significant events like EXPO 2027 in Belgrade, are likely to maintain, if not increase, their value due to their unique appeal and the anticipated influx of visitors and international attention.

Emerging Hotspots and New Projects

Emerging cities such as Novi Sad, Nis, and Kragujevac, along with developments outside city limits offering gated communities with robust transportation links, are set to become new hubs for business and living. These areas are

attracting interest for their blend of security, accessibility, and quality of life, potentially leading to a proliferation of new projects catering to these demands.

Evolving Buyer Profiles and Preferences

The profile of buyers is becoming increasingly diverse, with a notable shift towards properties that offer not just superior construction quality but also enhanced amenities such as wellness centers, gyms, and eco-friendly features. This shift is partly driven by the younger generations' demand for sustainability and convenience, indicating a broader trend towards more conscious living environments.

Additionally, the substantial influx of foreigners, as evidenced by the significant number of work permits issued and migration from conflictaffected regions, is reshaping the buyer demographic. This change is not only increasing demand for rental properties, leading to a spike in rental prices, but also likely to result in a more multicultural buyer and investor base, further diversifying the market.

Nationality Changes and Global Integration

With over 200,000 individuals having migrated to Serbia in recent years, the country's real estate market is increasingly reflective of a global community. This demographic shift is expected to continue influencing the market, with a considerable number of new residents from abroad choosing to make Serbia their permanent home. Such trends suggest a potential shift in the nationality mix of buyers and

Conclusion

Looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, the Serbian real estate market is expected to navigate through a phase of growth characterized by stable prices, the rise of new development hotspots, and an evolving buyer profile emphasizing sustainability and convenience. Coupled with the anticipated impacts of global events and demographic shifts, the market is set for a dynamic period that promises opportunities for investors and homebuyers alike, marking Serbia as a key player on the international real estate stage.

What are some key insights and your tips of areas or property types which potential buyers should be aware of for future potential growth?

Given the evolving dynamics of the Serbian real estate market, potential buyers looking for properties with future growth potential should consider several key insights and trends that align with contemporary and emerging lifestyles. These trends not only cater to immediate needs but are also indicative of long-term value retention and appreciation. Here are some areas and property types to consider, along with the importance of lifestyle amenities, master-planned environments, and architectural trends:

Master-Planned and Structured Environments

Comprehensive Development: Properties within master-planned communities are highly desirable due to their structured approach to urban living. These areas are designed with a holistic vision that includes residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, ensuring a balanced lifestyle for residents.

Future Growth Potential: Masterplanned communities often come with the promise of future development and enhancements, making them a wise investment in terms of potential value appreciation.

Gated and Semi-Closed Communities

Security and Privacy: Gated or semiclosed communities offer heightened security and privacy, a priority for many buyers, especially in uncertain times.

Community and Lifestyle: These communities often feature exclusive amenities such as parks, clubhouses, and sports facilities, fostering a sense of community and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Lifestyle Amenities

Health and Wellness Focus: Properties offering access to health and wellness amenities like gyms, spas, and green spaces are increasingly sought after. Such

features not only enhance the quality of life but also appeal to a broad demographic, from young professionals to retirees.

Convenience and Efficiency: Amenities that offer convenience, such as professional building management services, proximity to shopping and dining, and efficient transport links, are key factors driving demand.

Timeless Architectural Designs and Greenery

Less is More: In terms of architecture, there's a growing appreciation for simplicity and minimalism. Properties that embody the "less is more" philosophy with clean lines and functional spaces are not only aesthetically pleasing but also timeless in their appeal.

Integration with Nature: Properties surrounded by parks or those that incorporate greenery through landscaped gardens, rooftop terraces, or green walls are not only beneficial for the environment but also enhance the well-being of residents. Such features are becoming decisive factors for many buyers.

UNIVERSAL CAPITAL BANK AND VISA INTRODUCE MONTENEGRO’S FIRST PLATINUM BUSINESS METAL CARD: A BLEND OF LUXURY, EXCLUSIVITY, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

INTERVIEW WITH MILOŠ PAVLOVIĆ, PRESIDENT

OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD AT UNIVERSAL CAPITAL BANK

Thanks to you, Universal Capital Bank stood out this year in the prestigious annual selection of the Association of Montenegrin Managers, held under the patronage of the Government of Montenegro, which awarded you Manager of the Year in the category of joint stock companies. How do you comment on your achievements? Has your vision remained the same from the start and what is your success strategy?

Every award represents added motivation, especially when it comes from fellow managers from some of the largest and most successful companies in Montenegro. I see the Manager of the Year award for 2023 in joint stock companies from the Association of Montenegrin Managers as recognition for creating an extraordinary team in Universal Capital Bank and for the record results our team achieved in the previous year.

The strategic direction that enabled us to achieve these recognised results was actually absolute dedication to the client. This is our business mission. In keeping with the vision of the corporate

group we belong to, we offer bespoke products and services to meet the individual needs of each of our clients. We like to say that we have as many products as clients, because we are indeed dedicated to each of them and we tailor our services to all their requirements. Such an approach, both towards our clients as well as towards all of our partners, enabled us to build almost unbreakable ties with them all, and whose satisfaction is our best publicity. The success we achieved is simply a vital consequence of our approach.

How would you describe past business year and what results did UCB have at the end of year 2023?

Last year we achieved record results in almost all segments of business. Historic profit was made, all business parameters are at a record level; we have significantly improved employee satisfaction and we are perhaps most satisfied with our team. UCB was the first to introduce three new products on market (biometric identification, direct payment operations with Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Visa Business Metal Card) and it invested big efforts to contribute to the community through our ESG strategy.

Universal Capital Bank is recognised as a socially responsible company. How much importance do you attach to CSR in the context of your operation?

Corporate social responsibility has been a strategic goal and premise since the opening of Universal Capital Bank, under which projects focused on community support are implemented. This business practice has a direct positive influence on employees and work conditions, the local community and the environment. That is why each year the Bank allocates significant funds for

various activities, sponsorships and donations, aimed at the most sensitive social groups. I would like to point out that in addition to social responsibility, we focused on the implementation and activation of already well-known ESG (Environmental Social Governance) standards, that is, on a sustainable way of doing business at all levels and in all segments.

You were the first in Montenegro to introduce a direct payment transaction service with the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. What are the benefits of Clearing? Is there significant client interest in this type of service?

We are very proud of the fact that we were the first in Montenegro to provide our population and the economy with direct payment transactions with Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. For almost 18 years, there was no direct payment operation with these two neighbouring countries, with which Montenegro has the largest number of payment transactions. This meant that funds to the banks in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina went through other correspondent banks in Europe, which increased the costs of these transactions but also extended their execution time. UCB’s strategic commitment is to put the client first. And it’s not just a phrase. We truly nurture a culture of dedicated care for the needs of our clients, and when we identify a need among our clients for a cheaper, faster and more reliable service enabled by direct payment, we provide it to our clients regardless of how much work and investment it requires.

Interest among our clients exceeded all our expectations. Payment transactions with Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina increased by over 50% yearon-year, and the growth continues. Every day we get new clients thanks to this service.

I would say that the biggest advantage of direct payments in retail is transaction costs, which are now three times lower. Namely, with the establishment of direct payment operations, a client sending EUR 100 to one of these two countries now pays a EUR 5 fee instead of EUR 15, which is what this transfer cost before. Meanwhile, corporate clients see the biggest advantage in this system in the time required for transactions to be carried out and their reliability, as well as, of course, in the low costs. Funds sent to Serbia or Bosnia-Herzegovina, or from those countries to Montenegro, will be in the recipient’s account on the same day they were sent, without exception. Until now, this was most often not the case and it often happened that funds did not reach the recipient’s account for several days, which slowed the flow of goods and services.

When it comes to innovations in the Montenegrin market, it can be said that you are constantly bringing in world trends in terms of payment cards. This time, it’s an absolute novelty in the banking sector of Montenegro - the first payment card made of metal. What was your inspiration for developing this type of product and what are its advantages?

Keeping pace with world trends in the payment card industry, Universal Capital Bank, in cooperation with the Visa company, a global leader in the field of digital payments, launched the first and unique Visa Platinum Business Metal Card in the Montenegrin market. In addition to its extremely luxurious and innovative design, this payment card offers exclusive benefits solely to its cardholders.

As I said earlier, our strategic commitment is to care for our clients and adapt our products to their needs. Considering out clients’ profiles,

the introduction of the metal card was a logical next step. We believe that our clients deserve exclusively premium service in every respect, and therefore we strive to ensure that their bank can support their lifestyle.

I can say with certainty that the future path of the Bank will be directed towards the development and implementation of new technologies and the application of state-of-the-art solutions in business, but also affirming responsible social business, as evidenced by the fact that part of the membership fee of each issued metal card will be donated to charity objectives.

INTERVIEW WITH ALEKSANDRA DRAŠKOVIĆ,

FOUNDER & CEO OF MONTENEGRO PROPERTIES

OUTLOOK FOR 2024: THE RISE AND RISE OF EXPERIENTIAL LUXURY

Tell us about your history, experience and expertise in your respective market including why sellers and buyers should choose you as their preferred partner?

Montenegro Properties has started its business in Montenegro in 2006, focusing on top-quality residential and mixed real estate, foreign investments and development. Since then, we have been operating successfully in the real estate market, while also playing an important role in presenting Montenegro as an emerging destination to the world. Back in 2009, we took part in MIPIM in Cannes, together with the Montenegrin Investment Promotion Agency (MIPA), which was very successful. We are proud of any opportunity we had which meant supporting investments and development in Montenegro. We are also proud that on the list of our clients with whom we had a big pleasure to cooperate with there are HNWI.

Montenegro Properties is also the winner of three awards handed out by the International Property Awards, the world’s most famous accreditation house which hands out awards as a sign of excellence to professionals in the field of real estate. Among others, the jury features members of the U.K. Parliament. The first award we got from them was for the best website, then we got the acknowledgment for the best real estate agent, and last year, we got the best real estate marketing award.

In 2022, we had the opportunity to present Montenegro at EXPO 2020 in Dubai, where we held the presentation titled “Montenegro: Unlocking Potential for Growth”. Montenegro Properties is a member of British-Serbian Chamber of Commerce. Also, we have established very close ties with Arab communities in London, with beautifully appointed office in Mayfair, which we also occasionally use for our meetings with international investors. This year, we are organising a Montenegro-focused event, where we are going to present interesting investment opportunities in Montenegro to Arab communities in London. We combine our passion for property with social responsibility, as we understand that charity donations are actually giving back to the society. Our integrity, professionalism, client-oriented and focused-on-results approach, along with honest advice is what gives our clients the confidence to works with us. We are passionate about providing professional assistance to our clients on their personal property journeys, from understanding their criteria and requirements to opening doors to some of the finest properties in Montenegro. We always go ‘the extra mile’ to meet our clients’ objectives, thus extending far beyond what a conventional real estate agency offers. Also, we never believe in the pressure tactic, so our clients are

never pressurised to buy a property.

Our commitment to acting honestly, with integrity, and always with clients’ best interests at heart, is fundamental to everything we do. Also, we have established a cooperation with experienced law firms with strong background and long experience in providing legal protection in Montenegro.

How do you foresee your market in 2024 and beyond? what is the probable price growth, arrival of new projects, buyer profile and nationality changes, etc

Even if it is never easy to foresee the property market ahead, as it depends on many factors, there are some trends which are prevailing. We believe that luxury property sector will be on the up having in mind the growing community of HNWI. Luxury property sector has proved resiliency in economic turmoil times. It is also true that luxury real estate is much more immune to price fluctuations than lower-end properties. While non-luxury property market can be hit by slumps in prices, luxury property sector retains its desirability – a luxury property very often keeps its value even when the economy around it declines. One of the key advantages that also creates stability in the luxury real estate market is scarcity and again - exclusivity: as a rule, there is always only a limited number of luxury properties that are on the market, which means that their prices are not likely to fall due to limited availability. More luxury listings will temper price growth as the year goes on. Overall, that’s a good thing for the high-end market. Sellers will still fetch high prices, luxury clientele will have more to choose from and sales should go up. We think that luxury property sector can act as a hedge against inflation, providing an appreciating asset that can withstand market fluctuations and protect wealth. Interestingly, challenging market conditions did not stop luxury real estate sector from thriving in 2023 and there is a high prob-

ability it will keep that way in 2024 and beyond. Luxury is no longer confined to material possessions. It has evolved into a blend of experiences, values, and lifestyle in general. The property acquisition isn’t just a transaction anymore - it is an investment in a lifestyle that expresses the true essence of luxury. Regarding Adriatic region, we think that true luxury should arise from authenticity. In Montenegro, projects like Lustica Bay, which are being built in harmony with the Mediterranean and local authenticity define what luxury is, at its core. What I would also like to emphasize is the importance of investment migration. Namely, even if Citizenship by Investment Program is unfortunately closed now, Montenegrin Residency Program should also be regarded as an asset, in a world where luxury is evolving beyond the materialism, as these kind of programs stand as an epitome of experiential luxury and they have for sure redefined the concept of luxury itself. We hope this residency program in Montenegro will be more liberalised in terms of stay length restrictions.

As for the nationality changes, in the coming period as well, Montenegro Properties will be actively working on attracting investors from the Middle East. In the first quarter of 2024, we plan to present the investment possibilities of Montenegro in Riyadh, with the help of the Saudi Chambers of Commerce. Also, new golf course and golf residences might attract new clientele, these residences that we have presented recently in London to the Scottish golf community might initiate a new wave of clients from that part of the world.

What are some key insights and your tips of areas or property types which potential buyers should be aware of for future growth?

Areas that have performed best to date and are expected to continue the same way and where there is significant upside regarding the capital appreciation and return of investment are Tivat and Kotor Bay. As for the properties, premium residential property sector has proved remarkable resiliency amid market slowdowns. Projects like Porto Montenegro, Lustica Bay and Portonovi, with more people preferring mixed-use projects that incorporate residential, hotel and commercial spaces, reflect a desire for more comprehensive and fulfilling lifestyle experiences. Lustica Bay has started the construction of the first 18-hole golf course in the region, designed by Gary Player, a recognized name in the world of golf. The new project that Lustica Bay is developing – the construction of golf residences, will have 300 to 400 high-end units in close proximity to/right next to the golf course itself. We carried out a small survey and comparison with similar projects in Portugal, France and Spain, which has shown that, as a rule, such high-end facilities have always influenced the growth of the value of the real estate in the surroundings. The same will happen in Montenegro.

They had 18 vessels, and during the 18th and 19th century 86 seamen from this family were recorded of which 63 masters. Tripković Palace is one of the most monumental palaces in Boka.

What are the primary challenges your agency faces in the current real estate landscape and how do you address them?

The real estate market is affected by various factors and situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical risks, supply chain disruptions, consumer preferences etc. These factors can create uncertainty and fluctuations in demand and supply, prices, and profitability for real estate companies. So, market volatility and to stay resilient in times of economic turmoil is the biggest challenge real estate agents face with. Also, one of the challenges we face with is a changing consumer behaviour. The real estate sector has to adapt to the changing preferences and expectations of consumers in the post-COVID era. The property sector has to innovate and offer services that meet new consumer needs and preferences. Regarding supply and demand imbalances, there is a disparity between supply and demand, that can lead to difficulty in finding the right balance. Undersupply of quality housing we currently face in the most sought-after areas is also pretty challenging. The new challenge we currently face with is a changing demographics and preferences. Namely, demographic shifts, such as the preferences of millennials and Generation Z, can influence the types of properties that are in demand. Preferences for urban living, sustainability, and technological integration can impact property design and location choices. The rise of Generation Z has immense implications for real estate. All of this is happening in a post-pandemic context. Mix of uses for real estate, i.e. mixed-use schemes and communities, which would be a kind of one-stopshop incorporating wide range of the amenities, are in high demand. Mixed-use projects, which combine residential, commercial and social function, offer a fulfilling lifestyle experience. Having

everything on a click, at the footstep, generation Z are drawn to the cities. The ‘15-minute city’ concept is emerging as an important urban new generation model in post-pandemic cities.

Crowded cities, sophisticated communication tools and finding a balance between work and leisure mean that people are changing their daily behaviours and preferences. Mixed-use developments and resorts can complement those preferences, enabling people to work and socialise where they live. People are, at heart, social creatures, and being a part of community within these multipurpose resorts fulfils the desire to ‘live-work-entertain’ together. In response, real estate developers should think about more hospitality-type business models. That means ensuring homeowners have flexible spaces where they live, which offer work premises, meeting rooms, wellness centres, child care, event space and living units, all within the same complex.

The new season is here, and we’re talking to Regional Marketing Director Nikola Milović, who is in charge of iconic products known in the region, such as the Metropol Palace Hotel in Belgrade, Sofia Balkan Palace Hotel in Sofia, and Maison Hotel Sofia-Mgallery Collection. What ideas and plans do you have for the spring season?

We started the year with a Michelin recommendation, for the second year in a row, for our restaurant, The Twenty Two, which is truly significant for us. We are especially proud to have hosted the first Michelin Masterclass, which brought together chefs from all Belgrade restaurants recommended by Michelin, where in collaboration with the Tourist Organization of Serbia and with the help of two guest Italian chefs awarded with the Green Michelin star, we had the opportunity to witness live the implementation of new low waste philosophy concepts in the kitchen. It’s truly an inspiration that we’ve embraced in preparing our new spring menu.

The weather is getting nicer, and we already have a variety of outdoor events planned. I want to make the most of the benefits of the central city park, which is part of our hotel, so you can expect fashion shows, presentations of luxury products, picnics, and sunset cocktails in Tašmajdan Park.

Our guests love to visit The Spa, which is unique precisely because of its intimacy and location, instantly transporting you to a serene mountain-sea environment in the heart of the city. Enriched with luxurious Omorovicza products, our unique wellness center puts us on the map when it comes to a good retreat in the city.

MANAGING HOSPITALITY IS OUR CRAFT

Interview with NIKOLA MILOVIC, Regional Director of Marketing

What’s the situation in the neighborhood, what are the novelties in neighboring Bulgaria and the capital Sofia?

Our product is entering the final phase of renovation and is rapidly heading towards the Accor group, so we have a nice job ahead of us adapting those standards to such a centrally positioned hotel with a tradition like Sofia Balkan Palace. I’m sure that the new look and brand will bring new strength, a fresh breeze to this market.

I would like to highlight the fact that our Maison Hotel Sofia is part of the Mgallery Collection, and for two years now, we have been making a difference, introducing innovations and all the beautiful practices of this feminine chain, which with its programs brings a nice new momentum to this part of the hotel offer.

It sounds truly exciting, is that all the news, or do you have another hidden ace up your sleeve?

With great pleasure, I announce that we have renovated our largest hall, Ivo Andrić, so I know where the most weddings will take place this season, as our magnificent hall with original Murano glass, a new carpet, and the possibility of a wedding ceremony on the terrace overlooking the Church of St. Mark, truly adds an extra charm to this significant occasion. Earlier this year, we had a visit from a couple who got married with us exactly 44 years ago. The spark in their eyes and the pride we felt as one of the rare products in our region that can be grateful for such a tradition is something that cannot be described in words.

I invite you to visit one of our hotels this spring and summer, and I am sure you will find an offer that will satisfy your most refined senses and your most demanding desires and expectations.

Today climate change is a reality that must be faced by all industries. Heatwaves, floods, torrential rain, wildfires affect all walks of life. This has caused the leading golf associations to plan and develop new strategies which will allow golf to become environmentally friendly as well as making the maintenance more cost effective.

The perfect example of such actions is undertaken by the R&A (The Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews), golf’s leading body in 143 countries worldwide. In 2018 they have begun with ‘Golf Course 2030’, which is a program to put together the best minds in agronomy, biodiversity, climate, and resource management and come up with a roadmap to be implemented in the next years. These will deal with all the aspects of golf development: from the use of pesticides to water management, types of grass, disease control and more, their mission is to be thought leaders, and produce guidelines and resources to prepare the golf industry for a demanding future.

Most global golf associations are working together with the R&A to find diverse solutions to a common problem. Greenkeepers associations are playing a key role in this program, using accrued knowledge through so many years, experiences and the different landscapes and climates of Europe, Australia and Singapore to suggest ways to make the most in each situation.

COURSE MAINTENANCE, BIODIVERSITY AND CARBON NEUTRALITY

But where should golf managers start? What can be done to better manage golf courses, make them greener (in all senses) and yet more cost effective?

Some solutions already exist and can be applied already today. Like in many cases, most of the carbon produced throughout the golf courses come from direct emissions during the maintenance of the

courses: mowers and other equipment for the upkeep of the golf course are a key factor to keep quality of play on a high level.

Direct emissions can be minimized by implementing already known practices, such as the transition to electrical maintenance equipment and sourcing the energy from renewables such as solar energy. In this case, golf managers can have a significant and direct impact and certainly would significantly impact carbon production on golf courses.

Carbon sequestration is also something which, by increasing it, it can certainly also help towards carbon neutrality. Even if it is something that most managers cannot have too much of an impact on, minimizing fairway aeration for example (the process of poking holes throughout the fairways in order to let air in and avoid compaction of the soil) would certainly help. Being that fairways make up about 30% of the surface of the golf course, it can have a positive effect on the overall carbon emissions.

Biodiversity is another key factor in the ‘Golf Course 2030’ program. Golf courses often take up many hectares of space, and it is generally kept as a green area where the wildlife is allowed to thrive. Insects, bees, butterflies as well as other animal species (many readers will have seen videos of alligators crossing golf courses in Florida, kangaroos in Australia, hippos, giraffes, and zebras in Africa) must be protected through the conservation of their habitat to the maximum extent possible.

Construction of golf courses and surrounding real estate and resorts can have a negative impact on the biodiversity of a certain area, especially in regions where such biodiversity hangs on by a thread due to climate change. By keeping older or decaying trees to be home for nesting bird species, reintroducing infrequent species of trees to their natural environment and the usage of local types of grass, and being mindful of the local animal population, these would all be actions that would allow for the flora and fauna to thrive in a beautiful symbiotic environment.

WATER AND RESOURSCES

Today there is a dire need for more efficient consumption of resources, and water certainly is the main concern.

The reality is that golf courses use significant amounts of water to keep the courses looking a certain way. Bermuda grass, a type of grass which is a drought intolerant sort, is widely popular due to its bright green colour. Expectations that golf courses should look a certain way is the main cause behind this popular choice, but today climate needs must be the priority.

Using reclaimed water as a source, with methods such as reverse osmosis, is certainly one of the solutions. Sadly, most golf courses are still far away from fulfilling such needs and often come under fire from critics with good reason as the pressure on natural resources are a major global concern.

New knowledge, technologies and working towards the minimization of waste makes both sense from an environmental standpoint, as well as from an economic perspective. The reduction of waste and usage of water, fertilizers, pesticides and energy would reduce costs and golf could become a role model for a wide range of industries, setting an example and benchmark for others to imitate.

BALL ROLLBACK, PGA, LIV… WHAT ARE THE MAIN PLAYERS DOING?

As golfers know, since the creation of LIV Golf (Saudi backed professional golf tour) in 2021 golf has undergone tectonic changes. Rules, regulations, guaranteed payments have been central to the controversies that surround the professional side of this sport. But sustainability has certainly gone under the radar.

While LIV committed immediately to creating a more sustainable model for golf in the future and playing a central role in the implementation of such an approach, the PGA Tour has fallen behind a little from that point of view. Competition once again proved beneficial to the overall environment, as the Saudi backed tour has pushed the PGA to move forward from a standstill and have made their first commitments during 2023. But other changes will influence the application of standards.

One of the main changes that happened and that have been extensively discussed, which will take effect in January 2028 is what has been called the ‘Golf Ball Rollback’.

The semi-detached townhouses in Luštica Bay offer an unmatched living experience with 215 m2 of meticulously designed space that embraces the serene Mediterranean landscape.

BEAR WITH ME, GOLF RULES CAN BE A LITTLE ‘TEDIOUS’.

A change in the way manufacturers test their golf balls will curb the distances that players (especially long hitters like Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and co.) can hit, especially their drivers. But how does this matter for sustainability?

The pursuit of longer shots, and of course lower scores, combined with equipment technologies which have improved drastically over the last years, have pushed the limits of golf courses and their lengths. Players going constantly for the greens on even average Par 4s, some constantly hitting drivers well over 310 yards (280 meters) have made older golf courses redundant, forcing them into renovation projects to adapt the courses to the players’ standards of today, making courses longer and more challenging to today’s drives. Such a change in ball regulations will put back these courses into relevance, allowing them to forego complicated and expensive renovations and freeing capital to invest in solutions which can make them more sustainable in the long term.

Keeping in mind the already high costs of construction of golf courses, and perhaps more importantly the high cost of maintenance, making it challenging for courses to stay afloat in some cases, curbing the possible distances might be a welcome change for golf course managers.

Overall, golf must adapt its ways to what is sustainable and to find a way to adapt to the needs and expectations of the modern world. Traditions play an important role in this sport and in the way it is played and treated, but traditions can only benefit from the application of modern standards. These new, modern standards, can launch the most traditional sport straight into the future.

Golf has always been perceived as a sport for the elites, something that is accessible only to a select few. But luckily it is becoming one of the most popular pastimes of people of all ages, genders, status, and background. With this knowledge, developers, associations, companies and all stakeholders must look towards new ways of managing this beloved sport, which includes an environmentally friendly approach which will benefit not only the surroundings, but will undoubtfully prove to be economically more viable and it would ensure a bright, sustainable and long lasting future.

Actions such as Golf Course 2030, the investment from large funds into such a future combined with the ever so high wish for golf should be the motivation for the largest players in the industry to make a decisive shift in the way the sport and its assets are managed.

Golf’s unique relationship with nature must be cherished which means, as in any relationship, investing in it and making sure it is healthy and beneficial for both nature and the players, making us as golfers, investors and all stakeholders responsible for its future.

Lans, Austria

Lanserhof: PIONEERING LONGEVITY THROUGH CUTTING-EDGE MEDICINE AND TRADITIONAL NATUROPATHY

In an age where the pursuit of longevity has transcended from aspiration to become a tangible goal, the convergence of science, medicine and comprehensive holistic approaches has come to the fore. One of the leading institutions for holistic health is Lanserhof, a health resort renowned for its pioneering advancements in state-of-the-art medicine and rejuvenation. At the core of Lanserhof's mission lies a profound commitment to extending not only lifespan but also health span, ensuring that each additional year is filled with vitality and well-being.

Developed over three decades and matured in daily practice, both the Lanserhof Concept and the Lanserhof Cure are based on the valuable findings of naturopathy, energy medicine, psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, chronomedicine and modern cutting-edge medicine.

“Our Lanserhof cure is more than a temporary measure; it is the start of a lifelong journey of self-care and well-being. We go far beyond the treatment of symptoms and offer a holistic approach that harmonises body, mind and soul.” Dr. Christian Harisch, CEO Lanserhof Group

One of the central elements of the Lanserhof experience is the acknowledgment of genetic predispositions while empowering guests to seize control of their health. Through comprehensive diagnostics and personalized consultations, guests gain valuable insights into their genetic makeup, laying the foundation for targeted interventions to mitigate risks and enhance longevity.

While a considerable portion of the personal risk for chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular or oncological diseases is predetermined by our genes, often these conditions are inherited within families. The higher the personal genetic risk, the more promising are preventive measures like exercise and a healthy diet. So, what’s important is this: While we need to accept our genetic make-up as it is, we can improve our habits in order to age healthier.

Lifestyle factors play an important role in shaping longevity. While genetics may predispose us to certain conditions, lifestyle choices wield a profound influence on our health trajectory. Through meticulous attention to nutrition, exercise, stress management and social connectedness one can possibly add healthy years to their life.

“How can I add as many healthy years to my life as possible?” is a question many of our patients ask themselves. Through listening, medical examination and state-of-the-art diagnostics, we try to provide answers to help you achieve your goal in the best possible way.” Dr. med. Jan Stritzke, Medical Director Lanserhof Sylt

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE: NURTURING HEALTH WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART DIAGNOSTICS

Mindfulness sessions, yoga classes and immersive nature experiences help guests to also regenerate mentally, fostering a deeper connection to self and the world

around them. Mindfulness practices, meditation sessions and workshops equip guests with tools to navigate life's challenges more resilient.

THE LANSERHOF FAST: A PATHWAY TO RENEWAL

At the heart of the Lanserhof experience lies the transformative power of fasting and therewith the thorough regeneration of the intestines to revitalise the vital forces. The regeneration process begins with sensitive detoxification, purification and deacidification programmes. Only a detoxified body is able to regenerate and reorganise its self-healing powers. This special way of looking at the body makes it possible not only to fight illnesses, but also promote health and prophylaxis in order to prevent serious illnesses.

Under the expert guidance of the medical team, guests undergo a comprehensive program tailored to their individual needs. From detoxification protocols to personalized therapies, each element is meticulously curated to support the body's self-healing potential. Central to the Lanserhof experience is the personalized approach. Each guest is treated as a unique individual, with their own set of needs, goals and aspirations.

“Many reasons known throughout are changing time and people. We make it a specific priority to acknowledge and appreciate the individuality of each person, so that we can create a personalised diagnostic and therapeutic programme.” Dr. med. Elke Benedetto-Reisch, Medical Director Lanserhof Tegernsee

NUTRITION: FUELING LONGEVITY THROUGH A HEALTHY GUT

MOVEMENT: ENERGIZING LONGEVITY THROUGH AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

Physical movement plays a crucial role in maintaining both physical and mental well-being. Regular exercise has been connected to numerous health benefits, including a reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved mood and enhanced cognitive function. Despite these known advantages, modern lifestyles often prioritize sedentary activities, such as sitting for extended periods or relying on motorized transportation. Incorporating more physical activity into our daily routines is essential for promoting longevity and vitality. Physical activity is central to Lanserhof´s philosophy. With state-of-the-art facilities and expert guidance, guests are encouraged to engage in a variety of activities tailored to their individual needs and preferences.

Above all, Lanserhof empowers individuals to take ownership of their health and well-being, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to embrace a lifestyle conducive to longevity.

Wellness and a healthy lifestyle are among the dominant trends in recent years, across many sectors. As awareness of and interest in health increases, more and more people want to keep in shape in their free time, leading to a rising demand for home gyms. When choosing equipment for domestic spaces, the aesthetic of products becomes more important than ever: the goal is to create fitness areas that look just as good as any other room of the house.

Attention to design is one of Technogym’s constitutive values as a brand, which succeeded in incorporating this factor into the Wellness & Fitness field. Technogym’s fine products have been deemed worthy of a long list of international design awards, including 3 Compasso D’oro awards, 18 ADI Awards, 14 Red Dot Design Awards, 3 International Design Excellence Awards, 6 iF Awards, 11 Good Design Awards and 2 German Design Awards.

The Italian firm also actively collaborates with the world’s most prominent architects and designers, first and foremost Antonio Citterio, who designed both the Technogym Village and the Personal Line, the ultimate choice for the wellness areas of private domestic spaces. It comprises premium products in terms of aesthetics, quality of materials and features. The perfect synthesis between cutting-edge technology, innovative raw materials and sleek and elegant design, Personal Line is capable of enhancing the house’s interiors, fitting right in as a high-end item of furniture.

Technogym’s consultancy and personalised assistance services for the design of interiors and wellness spaces is available for any kind of project, including home gyms. Thanks to this kind of optional services, nothing is left to chance and every detail is taken care of in the best possible way.

DISCOVER PERSONAL LINE

When creating the home wellness area, the space analysis is always complemented by an analysis of the customer’s needs, in order to give the best advice for the selection of products. Depending on the client’s age, preferred sports, habits, and desired goals, Technogym identifies a list of products (among more than 250), then proceeds to work with the architect to design the dedicated space or to help the customer define the best space within the home.

Technogym designers make the external architect’s or designer’s mood board their own, in order to speak the same design language, made of materials and coverings, of chromatic, decorative and tactile identity. A great importance is given to every single project, as if it were one of the company's most relevant and strategic showrooms.

Once the architect has defined the domestic space allocated to the home gym and established the layout key points, Technogym offers its full support and shares its specialist expertise: the brand proceeds to the spatial distribution of the selected products, with the aim to integrate even the smallest design details. We’re talking about the optimal lighting not to interfere with the workout and with the product display, the ideal distance between the various pieces so that they can be used comfortably and safely according to their size, the interaction between products and air conditioning, the best equipment layout to facilitate training and cooling down, the arrangement and concealment of electric cables: everything is aimed at achieving the greatest added value possible.

HOME GYMS TO BUILD EXERCISE LOYALTY

Having a home gym, whether a wall-to-wall one or just a corner, makes access to exercise much easier, just as it makes it easier to fit exercise into a regular routine. Being able to work out at any time, even at the last minute, from the comfort of one’s own home, generates more loyal and dedicated wellness enthusiasts, who in the long term will also become regulars at fitness clubs. This is also possible thanks to Technogym’s digital ecosystem, which makes the workout experience seamless, whether you’re at home or in the gym, conducting your workout in any

context and via all Technogym touchpoints.

Technogym also recommends certain placements based on the product type (cardio lines in front of windows or mirrors), and their technical specifications (strength lines aligned along the perimeter of the room). The goal is also to propose a solution in which Technogym products fit into the home environment in a harmonious, innovative, and non-stereotypical way, just as Technogym’s offer is not unoriginal when it comes to the design of individual products.

Alongside Personal Line, Technogym offers a wide variety of solutions which are perfect to set up a home gym, covering all needs and goals. The newest addition is Technogym Run, the home treadmill offering the same level of quality and technology found in the best gyms, as well as an unprecedented variety of workouts: from running, to power, to bootcamp.

Damiani: A HUNDRED YEARS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP, CREATIVITY, ITALIAN PASSION AND FAMILY

Damiani Mimosa Eternal Blue Necklace white gold diamonds and sapphire

Conceived in the 1920s as a tribute to the Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, by the founder Enrico Grassi Damiani, the Margherita collection is a sublime expression of Maison's creativity.

Damiani's story is that of an Italian family that preserves a precious know-how intrinsically linked to tradition: to create unique, handcrafted jewels that are true works of art, entirely handmade by the master goldsmiths of Valenza. It is precisely here that the Maison was born a century ago in Italy's most renowned goldsmith district. This place continues to symbolize excellence made in Italy and around the world. The helm of the Company has since passed down through three generations.

This evocative journey began with founder Enrico Damiani, whose skills as a master goldsmith soon made him a point of reference in the world of traditional jewelry and among distinguished noble families, who relied on him to create their most exclusive jewels.

Enrico was succeeded by his son Damiano, whose creative and pioneering mind sensed the need for renewal, thus paving the way for profound changes that were characterized by a strong, innovative drive. The helm was subsequently passed on to Damiano's three children – Guido, Silvia and Giorgio – who chose to continue pursuing the Maison's evolutionary path.

Today, Damiani stands out in the jewelry world for its unique position as the only international name that is still present in Valenza in the territory of its origin, for which it has a profound respect; a company born as a designer and producer of precious creations, that has become one of the biggest names in international luxury with its alluring designs and refined craftsmanship.

A HUNDRED CREATIONS FOR A HUNDRED YEARS

For this Centenary, the Damiani family has made a decision that is as exciting as it is significant: the Maison has chosen to exhibit a precious collection of rare stones – natural works of art with an extraordinary history that majestically come to life through a skilful act of creation by the master goldsmiths of Valenza, custodians of the goldsmith's art since 1924. The result is a collection of one hundred authentic jewelry masterpieces encapsulating the continuity of a unique and unparalleled artisan tradition that looks to the future.

The remarkable story of these one hundred masterpieces symbolizes the heritage of the Damiani family, an invitation to delve into a dimension poised between eternal beauty and flawless craftsmanship.

MIMOSA ETERNAL BLUE

The Mimosa line is at the heart of the celebratory collection that the Maison has created for its Centenary. Encapsulated in the 'apparent chaos' of these refined creations, an innovative technique harmoniously combines stones of different sizes and cuts, expressing Maison's sublime genius through a design that comes to life three-dimensionally. Highlighting the beauty of the Eternal Blue necklace is a majestic, 100-carat, cushion-cut sapphire that expresses Damiani's craftsmanship excellence and historical tradition. A masterpiece of nature with its far-away origins draws the eye with its magnetic royal blue hue, enhanced in all its splendour by the diamonds that encircle it in an embrace of light.

MARGHERITA DESERT GARDEN

Conceived in the 1920s as a tribute to the Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, by the founder Enrico Grassi Damiani, the Margherita collection is a sublime expression of Maison's creativity. Margherita Desert is in yellow gold, sprinkled with leaves and entwined with flowers. An extraordinary drop-cut fancy diamond adorns it. This ultra-rare gem stands out for its exceptional deep brown-yellow hue and its impressive

carat weight of over 20 carats. The necklace is skilfully embellished with brown diamonds and emeralds, creating a sumptuous carpet on which daisies made from white diamonds and a central fancy yellow diamond are gracefully laid.

BELLE ÉPOQUE FRAME

The Belle Époque was a golden era characterized by exceptional cultural innovation, which led to the birth of a new form of expression: the cinema. In celebration of the Maison's Centenary, the skilled goldsmiths of Valenza have created Belle Époque Frame, a white gold bracelet whose geometric perfection entwines with its extraordinarily impeccable aesthetics. Light reigns supreme - the same light that brought cinema to life is here enhanced by a pavé of diamonds embellishing the seventeen square frames that make up the jewel. Each frame shares a baguette-cut diamond with the one adjacent to it, while at the centre of each stands a fancy diamond in various cuts – brilliant, cushion, oval and heart – and in multiple hues. The shades of varying intensity range from yellow to orange and brown and are arranged in harmonious combinations for an alluring visual effect.

FANTASY CUT THE DAMIANI GREEN TREASURE OF MUZO

The Fantasy Cut collection represents the Maison's passion for its history, its savoir-faire and the beauty of the raw materials that the goldsmiths of Valenza forge with their extraordinary skills. Among the creations designed to celebrate Damiani's Centenary is the striking and magnificent Fantasy Cut the Damiani Green Treasure of Muzo, an extraordinary jewelry piece that blends elegance with tradition. Enriched with emerald-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds, this luxurious white gold necklace features a pendant set which is a true wonder of nature: a majestic Muzo emerald of almost 64 carats whose intense green colour – a tribute to the lush rainforest – makes it truly extraordinary.

100 X 100 ITALIANI

The Damiani 100 X 100 Italiani celebrates Damiani's first century, a prestigious milestone for the historic Valenza-based Company, representing Italian excellence today as much as 100 years ago. Italianness is the narrative theme of this exhibition, understood as a set of values, aesthetics, poetics, arts and crafts that has inspired the masterpieces of countless artists over the centuries. The exhibition displays 100 masterpieces for 100 years of Damiani's history portrayed through the five values of Italianness: family, represented by the Damiani family; craftsmanship with the Mimosa collection; creativity with the Margherita collection; History with the Belle Époque collection and passion with the Fantasy Cut collection.

Explore exciting collections of Damiani diamond jewelry at the Mamić 1970 boutique at 7 Frane Petrića Street in Zagreb.

Research shows that the key focus of high net worth individuals in ascendant economies and vibrant societies is successfully balancing wealth generation and opportunity creation. The Henley Opportunity Index serves as a guideline on tailored investment migration strategies that will ensure the next generation have access to the world’s best schooling, most lucrative job markets, and enhanced quality of life through the privileges and flexibility of alternative residence or citizenship rights.

It has become apparent that a combination of premium education and global access is essential to futureproof a family's wealth and opportunities. By quantifying this potent combination, the Henley Opportunity Index aims to help families in their pursuit of preserving and enhancing multi-generational wealth and access in an unpredictable world.

When it comes to the Index framework itself, its design is centred around the parameters relevant to international investors who are considering investment migration programs in thriving countries with ex-

cellent education systems, all with the aim to improve their own and their children’s access to better opportunities. This will be ensured by their newly obtained ability to be educated and subsequently reside long-term in a destination country without having to acquire a work permit or visa.

The Index brings together six composite parameters into a unique score for each destination. The six overarching parameters are earning potential, career advancement, top-tier employment prospects, premium education, economic mobility, and high livability. All are converted to scores out of 100 and equally weighted to create a total opportunity score out of 100.

and highly qualified individuals always in demand. Locals are favored in the job market, so acquiring residence in Switzerland alongside the world-class education the country offers will ensure opportunities in one of the world’s most stable economies.

Another interesting, emerging destination is Singapore. Singapore ranks 3rd in the Henley Opportunity Index thanks to its remarkable earning potential, top-tier employment prospects, and economic mobility scores. Its robust free market economy and excellent connections to Asia and the world place it as one of the most desirable locations globally. Singapore drives innovation and growth in the region and the world alike, focusing on cutting-edge development in banking, engineering, fintech, IT, and software development. The competitive job market adopts a skills-first approach, meaning employers will overlook a lack of experience if a candidate possesses the necessary skills, allowing recent graduates more ease of entry. While a world-class education on its own secures a wealth of opportunities in Singapore, coupling it with residence rights in this global innovation hub ensures security for generations to come.

As may be seen in the Index scoreboard, attention is immediately drawn to Switzerland, the USA, and Singapore as the top 3 destinations that combine outstanding earning potential, employment prospects, and economic mobility among other things. All the countries included in this section of the Index highlight the most prominent investment migration destinations, that are simultaneously home to some of the best education institutions in the world. Despite the fact that destinations such as Hong Kong, the UAE and New Zealand may not be the traditional, historically acknowledged destinations for premium education, their excellent scores in employment prospects and economic mobility, coupled with succesful residence by investment programs, draw the interest of the globally mobile families interested in assuring a bright future for their heirs.

An interesting case study that illustrates the Index and its abilities well is Switzerland. Switzerland enjoys the highest total opportunity score in the Henley Opportunity Index due to its outstanding earning potential, career advancement, and top-tier employment scores. It offers an excellent quality of life and enables its residents access to a wealth of opportunities within the country and abroad. The Alpine country is known for its beautiful mountainous scenery and modern, livable cities. With its unemployment rate at just 2%, Switzerland is able to provide its residents with excellent job opportunities across all sectors, with specialists

Both countries are home to successful and prosperous residence by investment programs, further emphasizing the need to consider premium education in conjunction with access rights rather than on its own.

THE POWER OF EDUCATION AND MULTIPLE CITIZENSHIPS

It is a well-established fact that one’s citizenship is the key determinant of their opportunities during their lifetime. As economist Branko Milanovic explains, “If you want to be rich, you’d better be born in a rich country — or emigrate there.” He estimates 50 to 60% of income inequality globally is simply due to differences in countries’ average incomes. Therefore, accessing opportunities in more developed economies can have an overarching impact on earning potential and standard of living.

Considering that, securing wealth sustainability for future generations becomes underpinned by the higher priority of ensuring global access. Ensuring access to opportunities, both in terms of education and visafree access to destinations with excellent employment prospects, is the only true strategy to futureproofing a family’s legacy. Increasingly, future millionaires expect multi-jurisdictional lifestyles. Flexible citizenship

and residence rights enable attending leading universities in different countries. Yet education is only the beginning, with second passports and multiple residence rights opening access to varied business cultures, funding ecosystems, and innovation hubs necessary for young entrepreneurs to truly thrive internationally.

Successful citizenship programs are increasingly found among societies balancing wealth generation with opportunity equality — characteristics that define ascendent economies. The Henley Opportunity Index identifies America, Australia, Canada, several European countries, New Zealand, Switzerland and vibrant wealth hubs in Asia and the Middle East as prime locations for educators, entrepreneurs, and inheritors aiming to thrive in the coming decades. Fortunately, many offer residence or citizenship pathways for global citizens committing to their continued success. While requirements and costs vary, applicants willing to invest can secure access to societal stability, advanced infrastructure, global financial systems, and crucially: world-leading education.

STUDENT MOBILITY AND GLOBAL UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

Benefits of an international education are manifold and quite apparent: international students have the chance to pursue top-quality education at world-class institutions, gain exposure to a variety of countries, cultures, and languages, and develop global networks, all of which set them up for a globally mobile lifestyle. Given this, it is no surprise families across the globe continue to recognise the value and crucial importance of international education and multi-jurisdictional lifestyles. As a expression of that, student mobility has been consistently rising over the past three decades and are estimated to reach a record 8 million by 2025, despite potential challenges such as Covid-19.

Despite the fact that destinations such as Hong Kong, the UAE and New Zealand may not be the traditional, historically acknowledged destinations for premium education, their excellent scores in employment prospects and economic mobility, coupled with succesful residence by investment programs, draw the interest of the globally mobile families interested in assuring a bright future for their heirs.

While international education needs no further establishment as a valuable asset, global access to opportunities, especially for recent graduates, demands a couple further comments. When it comes to securing work after graduation, the ease or difficulty of doing so greatly depends on the country of study and the destination country where graduates aspire to work. In most cases, should graduates wish to stay abroad — which many do — they are obliged to secure employment within their specialist field, obtain a long-term visa sponsorship from their employer, and navigate a complex immigration system. Alternatively, they must return to their home country until such conditions are fulfilled. This leaves many in a precarious situation as they lose out on opportunities in the destination country that possibly cannot be substituted in their home country. Additionally, income potential for domestic and international graduates is not always equal. For example, data from Canada shows that international students are more likely than nationals to study indemand courses such as architecture, engineering, mathematics, and IT,

but experience lower salaries compared to nationals. Therefore, assuring the highest possible degree of access possible can have an enormous impact on one’s opportunities throughout their life.

CONCLUSION

The established or emerging countries that are home to premium education institutions are more often than not also investment migration destinations. Such a combination is crucial for the globally mobile elites whose focus is on futureproofing their wealth and access to key global areas. Combining a world-class education with a strong investment migration portfolio is the best way to ensure a safe and stable future for the next generation.

The Transformative Potential of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a groundbreaking force, reshaping various industries, and education is no exception. The integration of AI in education brings forth a myriad of possibilities, from personalized learning experiences to efficient administrative processes. This essay explores the multifaceted role of AI in education, discussing its applications, potential benefits, and predictions for the future.

PERSONALIZED LEARNING:

AI enables the development of personalized learning experiences by analyzing individual student data. Adaptive learning platforms use AI algorithms to understand students' strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. This allows for tailored content delivery, ensuring that students progress at their own pace and grasp concepts more effectively.

INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEMS:

AI-powered tutoring systems provide students with on-demand assistance and feedback. These systems can identify areas where a student is struggling and offer targeted support, resembling a one-on-one tutoring experience. This not only enhances learning outcomes but also addresses the diverse needs of students.

AUTOMATED GRADING AND FEEDBACK:

AI streamlines administrative tasks for educators by automating the grading process. Machine learning algorithms can evaluate assignments, quizzes, and tests, providing quick and consistent feedback to students. This efficiency allows teachers to focus more on teaching and mentoring.

VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS AND DISTANCE LEARNING:

AI contributes to the evolution of virtual classrooms and distance learning. Chatbots, for instance, can assist students with queries, while AI-driven virtual instructors facilitate interactive and engaging online learning experiences. This widens access to education, overcoming geographical barriers.

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS FOR STUDENT SUCCESS:

AI's predictive analytics capabilities help institutions identify students at risk of falling behind. By analyzing data such as attendance, performance, and engagement, AI systems can provide early warnings, allowing educators to intervene and provide additional support to struggling students.

Predictions for the Future:

ENHANCED PERSONALIZATION:

Future advancements in AI are expected to bring even more sophisticated personalization to education. AI algorithms may adapt not only to individual learning styles but also to factors like emotional intelligence, creating a holistic and personalized learning experience.

AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) AND VIRTUAL REALITY (VR):

AI combined with AR and VR technologies could revolutionize how students experience education. Immersive learning environments, simulations, and virtual field trips could become commonplace, providing students with hands-on experiences regardless of their physical location.

GLOBAL COLLABORATION AND LANGUAGE LEARNING:

AI-powered language translation tools may facilitate global collaboration among students from different linguistic backgrounds. This could break down language barriers, promoting international cooperation and cultural exchange in educational settings.

AI IN ASSESSMENT AND CREDENTIALING:

AI may play a larger role in recognizing and accrediting skills. AIdriven assessments could provide a more comprehensive evaluation of a student's abilities and competencies, leading to the development of alternative credentialing systems.

CONCLUSION:

The integration of AI in education holds immense promise, offering the potential to revolutionize the way students learn and educators teach. As we continue to harness the power of AI, it is crucial to prioritize ethical considerations, data privacy, and equitable access to ensure that the benefits of AI in education are realized by all. The future of education is undoubtedly intertwined with the evolution of artificial intelligence, paving the way for a more inclusive, personalized, and technologically advanced learning experience.

THE QUALITY IS AT THE HEART OF ANY SUCCESSFUL ENDEAVOR

Interview –

Mr. Darko Brlek, Ljubljana Festival - General and Artistic Director

The Ljubljana Festival is the leading and the most well-known cultural brand and event of Slovenia and its capital city. It has created an artistic world that runs parallel to everyday life in Ljubljana throughout the year. With over 300 events annually, it includes the main summer event – an international festival featuring a wide variety of genres such as ballet, opera, theatrical productions, musicals, chamber and symphony concerts, and many more taking place at renowned venues across the city center within the span of two and a half months. The Ljubljana Festival also organizes the Winter Festival, with a series of concerts happening in February, and it also hosts other events throughout the year, such as the Ljubljana Festival Masterclasses, Young Virtuosi, Christmas Concerts, and workshops dedicated for kids.

With

so much to offer, it is an absolute must-see (and hear) for anyone visiting or just passing the region, especially in the summer months. To unpack it all, we talked to Mr. Darko Brlek, the Festival’s General and Artistic Director. He is a celebrated concert clarinetist and has held significant titles and positions from a young age, such as the youngest-ever director of the SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana. He also served as the President of the European Festivals Association for over a decade...

Mr. Brlek, what is the secret behind the decades-spanning success of the Ljubljana Festival?

I believe that any work I undertake should be done to the highest possible standard, whether it involves playing or organizing the festival or any-

thing else. It’s been about creating and bringing QUALITY - this is the most important thing for me. We attract the audiences “simply” because of the quality of our events. It is also about a variety of genres that appeal to people from across the globe.

When I first started with the Ljubljana Festival, it was a small festival with only 18 chamber music concerts. Now, it’s a completely different story, since we have more than 300 events per year, attracting more than 60 thousand people.

I also need to mention one of my proudest initiatives – The Young Virtuosi, which I started thirty years ago. It warms my heart to see that the kids who participated at that time are now some of the most popular and prominent musicians in our country and the world, such as Lana Trotovšek (violinist), Andrej Žust (horn player), the cellists Luka Šulič and Stjepan Hauser, and others.

What is the impact of the Festival Ljubljana’s offerings beyond cultural and touristic leadership?

We slowly built a worldwide family and an international community around the festival.

It’s evident that the presence of renowned artists attracts more attendees. This results in a mutual benefit, as the guests contribute their thoughts and help us promote the festival. However, what is especially significant in the long-term are the partnerships we have forged with established cultural institutions, such as the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra and RTV Slovenia. We are proud to connect these institutions with the best conductors and soloists in the world, such as Charles Dutoit and Martha Argerich, for example, who will be performing with the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra at the closing of the 72nd Ljubljana Festival this September. Such connections provide our musicians with global exposure and invaluable experience!

You have been leading and shaping the Ljubljana Festival for the past thirty years. During this time, how have you observed the audiences changing?

The digital evolution has brought changes to the audience, with higher standards now being developed. Additionally, educational background seems to play an important role in shaping audience preferences and values. As a result, we must balance our commitment to quality and values with the need to adapt to changing societal trends.

Diversity is also a key consideration in our programming. While classical music has always been a staple of our festival, we have expanded our offerings to include musicals, ballets, theater productions, etc. Ultimately, as I keep emphasizing, the quality of the performances is what matters most, and people can appreciate that regardless of their musical background.

We also focus on building our audiences over time, using various strategies. This includes organizing masterclasses and inviting students and professors from around the world to participate.

In addition, we provide free workshops for chil-

dren, teaching them dance, painting, and singing, and building a connection with their parents, as well. Through these efforts, we hope to create a long-term relationship, encouraging people to return year after year.

How do you innovate to stay relevant?

Having a vision is a must. Right now, we are finalizing the program plan for 2025, and there is already work to be done for the following years as we cannot fit everything we want to include in just one year. For instance, we know now that we will host another international piano competition during the Winter Festival of 2026. We carefully curate our programs to ensure that we include world-class content that people can relate to or connect with. For example, in the past, we have performed music by Ennio Morricone, and this year we will feature the music of John Williams, performed by the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra. Our events demonstrate that the world is small and that it’s powerful and beautiful to connect through art.

The festival’s summer program was released in early March and it includes performances by some of the biggest names in the music industry. Zubin Mehta will conduct three events, and there will be a musical adaptation of the famous Hollywood movie “The Bodyguard”, and many more…

What would you additionally point out, and could you provide some insight into the behindthe-scenes process?

I would like to highlight the chamber music concerts held at Križevniška Church in Križanke. The venue has a limited capacity of only 230 seats, and it’s always packed with audiences who appreciate this more intimate type of event.

We have a wonderful lineup of events again. Two concerts with the London Symphony Or-

72nd Ljubljana Festival Calendar

chestra and Filarmonica Della Scalla, conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano and Riccardo Chailly respectively. Mikhail Pletnev will be playing Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos over two nights. We also have a beautiful Italian production of Puccini’s “Tosca”, performed by the SNG Opera and Ballet Maribor. The performance features the fantastic soprano Rebeka Lokar as well as Željko Lučić as Baron Scarpia and Jonathan Tetelman as Cavaradossi, who is flying all the way from New York to Ljubljana just for this show! This is why we have international audiences – because when you put together such talented people, it’s recognized and appreciated by everyone.

You’ve mentioned that festivals should echo societal changes. Considering your influential position, how do you envision the art showcased at festivals impacting society?

I believe that art and music can play a vital role in restoring relationships between nations and countries. I also said a lot of times that festivals act like a litmus paper, reflecting and responding to changes immediately. In comparison, operas and philharmonic orchestras move like tanker ships, slowly and steadily. Festivals, on the other hand, are more flexible and can adapt quickly to the changes in society. Although we make mistakes, we have the opportunity to correct them immediately since we learn on the spot with events going on every day.

To make this happen, having a great team and wider support is essential. We’ve been fortunate to have a great partnership with the Mayor of Ljubljana and the City of Ljubljana for the last seventeen years. They understand what we do and provide us with finances, logistics and connections, enabling everything to work smoothly. It’s a whole network that contributes to the wider success!

THE MILOŠ FOUNDATION: NURTURING TALENT, LEADING

BY EXAMPLE

In the world of classical guitar, few names resonate as profoundly as Miloš Karadaglić. Yet, beyond the stage, in the heart of this Montenegrin artist with a global passport lies a profound commitment to nurturing the next generation of artists and musicians - a commitment embodied by the newly established MILOŠ Foundation.

Miloš

Foundation was founded to support young talent from Montenegro and its neighboring region in their artistic pursuits. Through annual scholarships, the Foundation provides financial aid and mentorship opportunities to exceptional individuals across various cultural fields, including music and audio-visual projects. Moreover, the Foundation grants special scholarships to children and teenagers belonging to vulnerable societal categories, enabling them to nurture their artistic and creative potentials. Becoming recipients of these scholarships means being part of an exclusive network, enjoying personalised mentorship, continuous support and access to valuable opportunities. With this kind of approach, the Foundation ensures mutual support and collaboration among its alumni and partners, creating an environment where individuals uplift and empower each other in their artistic journey and excellence.

PARTNERSHIPS THAT STRIKE A CHORD

The success of any symphony lies in the synergy of its components and the MILOŠ Foundation is no exception. In collaboration with esteemed partners such as Porto Montenegro, One Montenegro, Petite Genève Petrović, the Foundation provides financial support and essential resources to emerging artists. Their invaluable support ensures that these efforts produce meaningful results and that the mission of the Foundation remains uncompromised. As the Foundation continues its vital work, more companies are already recognising the importance of supporting such a noble cause.

A MUSICAL CELEBRATION AND IMPORTANT CAREER MILESTONES

As anticipation builds into a crescendo, all eyes turn to the beautiful setting of the Montenegrin National Theatre for a grand musical spectacle on April 6th. Under the baton of the conductor Andreas Ottensamer, Miloš Karadaglić will grace the stage alongside scholarship recipients and string players from the Montenegrin Symphony Orchestra.

This landmark concert promises an unforgettable evening of musical excellence and stands as a unique opportunity for aspiring artists to pursue their dreams in the spotlight. Adding to the excitement, scholarship recipients will also perform at the Rubix festival at Porto Montenegro and the KotorArt festival, firmly recognised as a festival of national significance. These events represent the pinnacle of Montenegro's cultural summer. Such opportunities are invaluable for the recipients, providing them with a platform to showcase their talents to a wider audience- an experience that otherwise would not have come their way until much later in their careers.

Unveiling scholarship recipients for the 2023/2024 cycle

MILOŠ Foundation proudly announced its inaugural scholarship recipients for the 2023/2024 cycle. Among them are Kosta Popović, a gifted cellist, Petra Radulović, a soaring soprano and Aleksandra Prelević Palladino, known artistically as Dolce Hera, music composer and the first professional female drummer in Montenegro. Their dedication and passion embody the Foundation's nurturing spirit, and there is no doubt that a bright future awaits each of them.

MILOŠ, a globally acclaimed classical guitarist, rose to prominence in 2011 with his chart-topping debut album, Mediterraneo. Since then, he has captivated audiences worldwide with seven best-selling albums, extensive tours and notable television appearances. Recognized for his significant contributions, MILOŠ earned a spot on BBC Music Magazine's 2016 list of the "Six of the Best Classical Guitarists of the past century." Now signed exclusively with SONY Classical, he is dedicated to expanding the classical guitar repertoire by commissioning new works. His latest album, released in October 2023, pays tribute to the rich baroque era, inviting listeners to take part in a journey through musical history and innovation.

A wedding is not just an event; it's a story that will be retold for years. However, while exciting, wedding planning is filled with details that require attention. In this article, we will explore how hiring a professional wedding planning agency can transform your planning experience from a stressful process to an enjoyable one, with practical advice for making the most of their services.

EVERY DETAIL UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

Every aspect of the wedding should be carefully designed and executed, which can be too overwhelming for the bride and groom. This is where wedding planning agencies come into play, taking the heavy burden of planning off your shoulders. They work in the background to ensure every segment is flawless, taking on all responsibilities, and leading the entire process from planning to execution.

When choosing an agency, look for those with a rich portfolio and reviews that match your style and expectations. Ensure that they clearly understand the unique style and vision of each couple, so they will approach your project individually, creating thematic concepts that match your personalities and desires. They are up to date with the latest trends and can suggest unique and innovative decorative ideas that will give your wedding a special touch. They know that tradition plays an important role in many weddings, so if this is the case with your wedding, keep in mind that they will ensure your heritage is honored in a way that is fresh, relevant, and personal.

If you're unsure about the concept of your wedding, hiring the right agency will open the doors to unlimited creativity. These professional teams bring fresh, innovative ideas that will make your wedding a story to be told for a long time. Whether you dream of a thematic wedding or

a classic ceremony, they are there to devise a concept that is fully tailored to you, your desires, and your budget.

One of the key advantages of hiring a professional wedding planning agency lies in their impressive network of contacts within the industry. Access to these resources can have a significant impact on your wedding, as some locations, services, or products may be exclusively available through them. Whether it's a private villa, a renowned band, or special decorations, this can open doors to unique experiences.

Wedding planning agencies will ensure seamless coordination between various services and teams, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Whether it's tailoring the menu to specific dietary requirements or designing a unique entertainment concept, their network of suppliers enables the realization of your specific requests.

Additionally, agencies often can obtain preferential prices or packages that you could not secure on your own. This can result in significant savings and additional values that enhance your wedding without extra costs. Because one of the biggest challenges in wedding planning is staying within the set budget. Professional wedding planners will ensure that you get the best value for your money.

Also, in case of unforeseen circumstances, you have experts ready to intervene and ensure everything goes according to plan. Whether it's bad weather or last-minute changes, they are there to calm the situation and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Deciding to hire professional support for wedding planning can be a key step towards realizing the wedding you've always dreamed of. With professional support, every aspect of your big day will be designed with care, love, and professionalism. Allow your wedding to be a memorable story, and your only concern to be - how long you can dance on the night of your life.

Practical Tips for Engaging an Agency

Here are some practical tips to get the most out of this experience:

1. Choose the Right Agency: Research is key. Look at the portfolios of different agencies, read reviews, and ask for recommendations - ask friends, family, or colleagues, especially those who have recently had weddings. Talk to several agencies before making a decision.

2. Check References and Previous Work: Ask for references and examples of previous weddings they have worked on. This can include photos and videos of past weddings. Check if they have experience in organizing weddings similar in style and size to your planned wedding. Also, check if the agency specializes in certain types of weddings or locations that interest you.

3. Initial Meetings or Consultations: Schedule meetings or consultations with the agencies that interest you the most. This is an opportunity to meet them, discuss your ideas, needs, and budget. It's important that you feel comfortable and that you trust the team that will organize your day. Good relationships and communication are key to successful wedding planning and execution.

4. Clearly State Your Desires and Budget: Once you choose an agency, be clear about your visions and budget. The more detailed you explain what you want, the easier it will be for the agency to realize your dreams. Do not hesitate to set limits in terms of costs. Ask how they structure their prices – whether they charge a flat fee, a percentage of the total wedding budget, or have some other billing model.

5. Be Open to Suggestions: While it's important to have a clear vision, it's also beneficial to be open to expert advice. Professionals from the agency have already seen what works and what does not and can offer you alternative ideas that will enhance your wedding.

6. Detailed Contract: When engaging an agency, insist on a detailed contract that includes all agreed services, deadlines, and costs. This will help avoid any misunderstandings and ensure that all parties are satisfied. Also, carefully read the contract before signing. Make sure all your agreements and expectations are clearly stated.

7. Communicate Regularly: Maintain constant communication with your agency. Regular meetings or conversations will help you stay up to date with planning and any changes. It also allows you to quickly address any concerns or questions that arise.

By following these tips, you will set a solid foundation for a successful collaboration with the wedding planning agency, ensuring that your special day goes smoothly and remains a beautiful memory.

Harmony in Planning: Your Wedding Agency as an Ally

Here's how a wedding planning agency can transform the entire process and what you can do to ensure everything goes smoothly:

1. Precise Task List: Create a detailed list of tasks with deadlines together with your agency. This includes everything from selecting the venue, choosing the menu, to organizing transportation for guests. This step will help you track progress and ensure that nothing is overlooked.

2. Detailed Budget List: The budget is often the biggest challenge, but with the right organization, you can avoid unpleasant surprises. Compile a detailed budget in collaboration with the agency. Include all anticipated costs, and even a small contingency fund for unforeseen situations.

3. Choosing the Right Suppliers: Your agency can recommend reliable suppliers – from florists to photographers. However, it's important that you meet these people yourself and see their previous work. Don't be afraid to ask questions and express your wishes.

4. Trial Versions and Tastings: For key elements such as food, cake, or floral arrangements, arrange trial versions or tastings. This gives you the opportunity to see and taste before making the final decision and ensures that everything will be exactly as you want.

5. Wedding Day Coordination: Detailed planning for the wedding day is crucial. Your agency should create a timeline for the entire day, including the arrival of suppliers, the schedule of the ceremony and reception, as well as any special requests. Review this plan and ensure you are satisfied with every segment.

6. Plan B for Unforeseen Circumstances: No matter how well you plan, there can always be unforeseen circumstances. Discuss a Plan B with your agency for bad weather, technical problems, or other emergencies. It's good to be prepared for everything.

7. Regular Meetings and Updates: Organize regular meetings with your agency to discuss progress and any changes. Be open to suggestions and ready for compromises to ensure everything goes as planned.

By following these steps, you can be sure that every detail of your wedding will be carefully planned. Your wedding planning agency is there to help you realize your dreams, but your role in the planning process is equally important.
