A 5-star hotel near Sveti Stefan was designed for 126 rooms and apartments, and it was planned to be built in Miločer Park.
The investor, Adriatic Properties, submitted a request to the Budva municipality for technical conditions for connection to the utility networks and for payment of the corresponding fee.
The authorities refused, citing the Declaration on the Protection of Miločer Park, approved two years ago. The document allows the reconstruction of existing facilities while preserving their area. New construction is not supported.
Adriatic Properties is owned by Greek businessman Petros Statis. The company owns major assets in Montenegro. Among them are the luxury Aman Sveti Stefan hotel complex with Villa Miločer and the hotels Kraljičina plaža in Miločer and Maestral Resort & Casino in the resort town of Pržno. The company also leases several beaches on the Budva Riviera, which are considered the most beautiful on the coast.
