Sveti Stefan viewed from the Stefana Mitrovica road. Sveti Stefan is a small islet and hotel resort in Montenegro, approximately 6 kilometres southeast of Budva. The resort includes the islet of Sveti Stefan and part of the mainland, where the Villa Miločer part of the resort is located. An Adriatic playground for the rich and famous from the 1960s to the 1980s, the hotel is now a 5-star hotel. In the 15th century, the fortified village was built to defend against the Turks and became a haven for pirates of the Adriatic. Initially, the island with its fortress had 12 families. In the 1800s, a village came to be established on the island with a population of about 400 people. All of the buildings were acquired by the Yugoslav government and turned into an upscale hotel during the communist period.
