Sveti Stefan (Свети Стефан) is a seaside resort located 5 km southeast of Budva, on the Budva Riviera (). It used to be an tidal island, but is now permanently connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus.
Sveti Stefan was inhabited in 15th century as a fisherman's village. In 1950s last residents of the village were evicted, and Sveti Stefan was transformed into a luxury town-hotel. It is the most exclusive resort on Montenegro's coast.
Sveti Stefan was popular among celebrities, so some of its guests were Willy Brandt, Bobby Fisher, Boris Spassky, Sofia Loren and Carlo Ponti, Monica Vitti, Ingemar Stenmark, Kirk Douglas, Sylvester Stallone and Claudia Schiffer.
