Three distinctions, from Montenegro to the global stage, for a resort whose character is shaped by its coastal setting, hospitality and the many ways guests can experience their stay.
In Pržno, each day follows a natural rhythm. Morning light moves across the bay, coffee is enjoyed overlooking the sea, and evenings give way to dining and entertainment. Here, close to Sveti Stefan and Budva, Maestral Resort & Casino continues to shape its own expression of contemporary luxury on the Montenegrin coast.
This year, that story has earned three international distinctions. At the 2026 LUXE Global Awards, Maestral was named Best Luxury Casino Resort globally, Best Luxury Resort in Europe and Best Luxury Lifestyle Resort in Montenegro.
The awards recognise different aspects of its identity: the energy of a casino resort, the overall holiday experience, and the way accommodation, dining, wellness and entertainment come together in one place.
A Mediterranean Rhythm with a Personal Touch
Maestral’s appeal begins with its location. The bay of Pržno retains the intimacy of a small seaside village, while nearby Sveti Stefan and Budva offer opportunities for walks, excursions and exploring the coast. The sea is a constant presence — in the view from a room, time spent on the hotel’s beach and evenings on the terrace.
A stay then takes shape around each guest’s mood. For some, the priority is the tranquillity of De Anima Wellness & Spa; for others, dinner at one of the restaurants or the social atmosphere of the casino after dark. The five-star hotel provides a setting for all these experiences, leaving guests free to choose their own pace.
For Maestral, this freedom of choice is central to the meaning of luxury: attentive service and the possibility of making every stay individual.
From Pržno to the International Stage
The global Best Luxury Casino Resort distinction holds a special place among this year’s awards. Alongside the European Best Luxury Resort title and the national Best Luxury Lifestyle Resort award, it brings renewed visibility to Maestral and the destination it calls home.
For travellers discovering Montenegro for the first time, such recognition may be an invitation to take a closer look at its coastline. Behind the hotel’s name lies a place to explore: Pržno, its sheltered bay, its proximity to Sveti Stefan, and the opportunity to combine a seaside holiday with dining, relaxation and entertainment.
For Maestral, international attention also brings a responsibility to ensure that the guest experience lives up to the expectations formed before arrival.
The People Behind Every Stay
Although the awards bear the resort’s name, they reflect the daily work of its people. From the first welcome and the preparation of a room to a thoughtful dinner recommendation, colleagues across every department bring a personal touch to each stay.
These distinctions are therefore a particular source of pride for the entire Maestral team. They also offer an opportunity to thank the guests and partners who place their trust in us, and everyone who supported us during the voting season.
Meanwhile, in Pržno, the familiar rhythm continues. New guests arrive, new welcomes are prepared, and every stay offers a chance to turn international recognition into something personal — a fond memory and a wish to return.
