SELECT YOUR STYLE

Whether Centrale or Marina Village is the place for you, make your investment feel like home with Luštica Bay’s choice of high-quality interior decor

LUŠTICA BAY OFFERS a wide range of properties, from charming hillside townhouses and exclusive, secluded villas to waterfront apartments, condominium units and residences at The Chedi Luštica Bay. Their interiors are just as important as Luštica Bay’s beautiful views and glorious open spaces. Choose from an impeccably designed selection of turnkey styles and fittings to enhance the comfort and luxury of your new home.

Centrale

Luštica Bay’s future town centre showcases its own unique style to provide comfortable year-round coastal living. Inspired by traditional Montenegrin architecture, time-honoured textures such as stone and wood are blended with high-tech materials to provide a contemporary Mediterranean feel, with clean lines, light tones and clutter-free design.

Alternatively, buyers seeking more traditional interiors can select a more classic style with a warm, homely atmosphere. Within this look, wood textures are abundant, with enhanced detailing and profiling lavished on the kitchen and wardrobe fascias.

While the residences vary in size from studios to three-bedroom apartments, all are designed with the same ethos in mind. Large,

airy windows take full advantage of the stunning scenery, while comfortable living areas create light-infused open spaces, with connected kitchen and dining zones. The rooms flow naturally into balconies, open terraces and courtyards, for seamless indooroutdoor living that makes the most of the year-round Mediterranean sunshine.

All interiors were designed by Luštica Bay’s own in-house team, drawing on many years of experience and trend analysis. The whole team engaged in rigorous planning processes, the careful selection of materials, and the sourcing of the very best hand-crafted Swiss and Italian furnishings. Most of the materials used within this development are sourced within a 500-kilometre radius of Luštica Bay, and local firms have been engaged to supply not only the raw construction elements but also the finer woodwork and decorative interior elements. This contributes to the Luštica Bay goal of minimising environmental impact – and showcases the top-quality craftsmanship that Montenegro has to offer.

Centrale prices start from €137K for a studio apartment. All homeowners can make use of Luštica Bay’s rental brokerage service during periods when their property is not occupied.

Marina Village

Marina Village offers a variety of properties, constructed down the hillside in a tightly woven patchwork of striking terracotta roofs, stone walls, staircases and courtyards. Each of the residences within this district offers a choice of two distinctive interior decors, allowing investors the chance to choose the style which best suits their tastes and lifestyle.

CLASSICAL COMFORTABLE, LIGHT & BALANCED

The classical interior style is ideal for a homeowner seeking warm, sophisticated and grounded surroundings. A neutral colour palette is used in conjunction with natural textures and decorative accents, blended for a look of traditional refinement and restrained elegance. The flooring is created with beige porcelain tiles that resemble natural wood – evoking a rich, tactile and warm surface. These are complemented by the delicate profiles of the skirting boards and ceiling coving, to give a luxurious, traditional finish. In the bedrooms, furniture is finished with carved, inset-panelled doors in keeping with the heritage style. In the kitchen, white inset-panelled doors are adorned with slim handles, counter-tops are constructed of durable dark wood, and flecked Calacatta marble wall tiles lend a further touch of elegance. The same tiles are used for bathroom walls and floors, while oval-shaped fittings and wooden vanity units round off the aesthetic.

CONTEMPORARY SLEEK, SIMPLE & SERENE

The contemporary interior design places the emphasis on simplicity and sophisticated modernity. Ideal for those seeking a fresh, light and contemporary space, the decor features streamlined forms, clean geometry, simple accents and asymmetric touches to evoke a sense of space and calm.

Clean-lined, flat-panel fascias with recessed handles are integral to the built-in floor-to-ceiling bedroom wardrobes, and also to the kitchen cabinets. In the kitchen, counter-tops are durable wood and sinks are square-cut. Square-cut finishes are also apparent in the bathroom, alongside vanity units with floating shelves, all complemented by white, grey and cream porcelain stoneware tiles. The tiles extend into the living room, giving a soothing, warm effect while exuding modernity.

Marina Village prices start from €336K for a one-bedroom apartment. All homeowners can make use of Luštica Bay’s rental brokerage service during periods when their property is not occupied.

Property investor Inna Khusid tells us why she’s investing in Luštica Bay and Montenegro

Tell us about the properties you’ve purchased in Luštica Bay. We bought a one-bedroom unit with a large terrace that we plan to rent out, as well as a two-bedroom unit with a great view, which we’re living in while we wait for our townhouse to be built.

Why did you choose Luštica Bay? Montenegro and Luštica Bay are stunning. I think that the architecture of Luštica Bay is beautiful and the quality of construction of the buildings and units is second to none.

How did you decide which apartments to pick? I loved everything about them from the moment we walked in. From the view to the heated floors, the spacious rooms and high ceilings – it’s all excellent.

Why did you choose to invest in Montenegro? We have travelled all over the world and we found that Montenegro is a true jewel with such natural beauty. It is a rarity and should be on everyone’s must-visit list. I also like the weather and being by the beach. I hope Montenegro is heading towards being a member of the European Union, which will mean a brighter future for the country. I think now is definitely the right time to invest in property in the country.

How do you find the interaction with the staff at Luštica Bay? I love each and every member of the Luštica Bay staff that I have met so far. Customer relations management coordinator Bojana Martinović is very responsive and was available immediately when there were any questions that we needed to be answered, or any technical or repair issues that needed to be resolved. I have also met Ivana Krivokapić, the Luštica Bay real estate manager, who is extremely helpful and friendly regarding any rental matters. CRM coordinator Nataša Novaković and sales executive Sandra Sekulić are also absolutely wonderful. And Željko Vuković and Vedran Božić, who work on property maintenance, are amazing!

What do you enjoy most about the Luštica Bay lifestyle? The beauty of the architecture and the sparkling sea that I am fortunate enough to be able to look at every day. I also enjoy the luxury of privacy and being away from crowds of people.

Which facilities do you appreciate the most? We will be using the gym and the spa at The Chedi Luštica Bay a lot. We also love going to all of the restaurants by the marina.
