I preferred Sveti Stefan before it became Aman. At least then it was part of the local culture.
What a cold, ungemütlich, uncomfortable atmosphere. My back hurts just from looking at those chairs. Not to mention the gravel beaches.

I am returning there in June when the new spa is fully open. I will find out about the restaurants then. Queen's Chair was managed by Aman but not really part of the estate, so maybe this is why it is not on the website. It is only open in the summer, due to outdoor setting. Hopefully Aman still manage it and the Olive Tree. Did you notice that they do not mention the new restaurant either? Could be an oversight? Hopefully.

Very informative report, and great photos!
I understand you had a separate living room/bedroom in both of the cottages you staid in. Could you say which specific category they were? I am thinking about going there with a young child, and we would like to have a fully separated living room/bedroom.

Photos are lovely - looks like you're staying in a local village without the annoyance of having to mix with the villagers
- which for me is half the fun of travelling.
I have to admit though that those sun loungers look uncomfortable - do they provide you with free flip flops or other beach shoes to walk on that shingle beach - we've stayed in a few places where they do that - the latest being the Lone Pine a 3 or 4* in Penang.

Have you stayed? If not, perhaps you should - it is a spectacular resort and still very much part of the culture.
