Aman Sveti Stefan offers a total of 58 guest accommodations with 50 rooms, cottages and suites on the island and 8 suites at Villa Milocer.
The six spacious Suites in Villa Milocer harmoniously blend a subtle palette of creams and browns with luxurious touches. Parquet floors are warmed by woollen rugs and a fireplace takes centre stage. Leather chairs and silk accents bring a contemporary brightness to the living quarters, while bathrooms feature parquet and antico stone floors, free-standing bathtubs and timber wardrobes. Each of the suites has a Juliet balcony with views either over the sea towards the island of Sveti Stefan, or of the gardens. The two Queen Marija Suites are housed in a separate structure. Each is 125 square metres in size and features four separate rooms: a bedroom, bathroom, living room and dining room, decorated in a similar style to the Suites.
