Porto Montenegro is a luxury yacht marina and adjacent waterfront development under construction. The construction site was a naval shipyard named
Arsenal , which fell into disuse after the
breakup of Yugoslavia and the decline of the
Yugoslav Navy . Porto Montenegro is the first comprehensive state-of-the-art deep water marina in the Adriatic Sea. The marina will have berths for 650 yachts, 150 of them super yachts, up to 150m long. These will be part of a full-service community of luxury apartments, shops, restaurants and other sports and entertainment amenities. Porto Montenegro is a phased development: there are now 185 marina berths, five mixed-use buildings containing 130 luxury residences, over 20 retail outlets, a full sports facility, yacht club, 64 meter infinity pool and lounge bar, a naval heritage museum, and a waterfront boutique hotel. Projects related to Porto Montenegro include an 18-hole golf course in the vicinity of Tivat Airport, and a possible acquisition of Bijela shipyard, which could serve as a yacht maintenance facility.
