One&Only is planning to bring its first luxury property to Europe with the opening of a new resort and spa in Montenegro.

Overlooking the Tivat Bay in Kumbor, the resort will feature 150 guest rooms and villas, a health spa, a One&Only residential component and world-class Marina, tennis academy along with dining and retail options.

The resort's One&Only Health Spa, will draw inspiration from the region's heritage and use ancient Mediterranean traditions and holistic practices fused with modern spa therapies.

The project is a joint partnership between resort and entertainment operator Kerzner International Holdings Limited and Triangle Investment and Development Limited.

Sprawling 60-acres, the property, which will be marketed to attract guests worldwide, is located less then an hour from Dubrovnik International Airport.

Additional leisure activities will include a host of unique sporting and entertainment facilities on-site.

Alan Leibman, CEO, Kerzner International, said: "With so many guests from Europe already experiencing One&Only resorts worldwide, it made perfect sense for our next resort to be in Europe.

"Montenegro is the perfect place for us to create an extraordinary new One&Only 'playground' for the most influential and well-travelled people around the globe."

The group currently operates seven properties including resorts in Maldives, Mauritius, two in Dubai, The Bahamas, Mexico and Cape Town, South Africa. One&Only has also announced plans to develop a resort in Sanya, China.
