Noone else has replied...I was at Amangani this spring and we drove over to Four Seasons at JH. It's ~15-20? minutes drive under optimal conditions. Amangani is at the top of a spectacular butte, 4s is slopeside.

Amangani is a wonderful place, but if ski in/out is a factor, 4s will save you 40 minutes a day.

amanpuri
Any updates on the new pool pavillions at Amanpuri? They are scheduled to be ready for Christmas but not on the website yet.
Also, has anyone seen the plans for the 15 new villas?

More restaurants now open at Sveti Stefan. In addition to the one restaurant at Villa Milocer which has been open for a while, there are now three more restaurants open as part of phase two.

The opening page of Aman Sveti Stefan shows, among others, a picture of what seems to be a suite in the new part of the project. To me it looks much more in line with the location (rustic med) and definitely better than those of villa milocer. Given the short trip from Milan, I am considering a weekend to explore the place.

Staying on the island next week. Not too easy to get there as the airlines tend to be JAT or Montenegro Airlines - neither of which my two travel agents would book (not reliable they said). Could not get my head around their websites either. Flying into Dubrovnik instead. It's a longer transfer but hopefully scenic.

The 'strategic partnership' is worrying! I wonder if Banyan Tree are still interested.(Sigh)

I guess I have been optimistic given that flight connections are not that quick (at least 4 hrs flights plus the drive). I see most flights are from Malpensa, but given that there are no direct flights to that area, I am sure there must be something from Linate via Vienna or Munich). Anyway, it seems that Vuittonsofstyle will be the pioneer...
