It may be worlds away from Dubai, but there is something fitting about Siro choosing Porto Montenegro for its second hotel, following the debut of Siro One Za'abeel in the UAE.

Siro is part of Kerzner International, the Dubai-based hospitality group behind Atlantis and One&Only Resorts. Porto Montenegro, a luxury waterfront development in the coastal town of Tivat, is owned by Investment Corporation of Dubai. Once a naval base, it has been transformed into an upscale marina destination, complete with superyachts, designer boutiques, restaurants and luxury residences.

But beyond the Dubai connection, the setting feels like a natural fit for Siro's distinctive approach to hospitality. Montenegro is a playground for active travellers, with its mountains and dramatic coastline offering many opportunities for outdoor adventures.

Siro One Za’abeel review: Sports-centric hotel beefs up Dubai staycations

Walking into Siro Porto Montenegro resembles stepping into a luxurious fitness centre. The airy, light-filled lobby sets the tone for a hotel that takes fitness seriously. There's even a Refuel Bar, serving healthy snacks and drinks, which guests can see as soon as they enter.

Staff dressed in elevated activewear, rather than conventional hotel uniforms, take care of arrivals.

The hotel is in Boka Place, one of Porto Montenegro's newer neighbourhoods, a short stroll from the marina, where gleaming superyachts are berthed alongside restaurants, cafes and designer boutiques.

Tivat is an excellent base for exploring the Bay of Kotor, with its picturesque villages, historic towns and mountain scenery. The Unesco-listed old town of Kotor is a short drive away, while boat trips, hiking and other outdoor pursuits are on offer along the nearby coastline.

Much like its Dubai counterpart, Siro Porto Montenegro follows a minimalist design aesthetic. My Siro Room, with a king-size bed, is sleek and uncluttered, with light wood finishes and a calming, neutral colour palette.
