2021
One&Only Portonovi's exterior featuring a luxurious coastal resort with terracotta-roofed villas, lush gardens, and pools by the sea. Majestic mountains and blue sky in the background.
Luxurious resort lounge with high ceilings, a grand chandelier, plush sofas, and a piano. Soft light, opulent decor, and elegant ambiance create a refined atmosphere.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Boka Bay, the One&Only Portonovi is a collaboration amongst HBA’s global studios. The design takes cues from monastic architecture, distilled into a modern expression that speaks to today’s guest.

Voluminous ceilings, layered textures, and time-worn materials evoke a sense of quiet grandeur, balanced by clean, contemporary detailing. Sculptural forms and curated artworks subtly reflect the surrounding landscape and cultural heritage. The result is a space that feels both grounded and elevated, where nature and culture come together to shape an experience that is immersive, refined, and warmly welcoming.
