Formerly a fishing village, Sveti Stefan has been converted to an exclusive resort. Although it is closed, its beauty can also be appreciated from a distance. And beautiful it is!
We walked down, and like a cat stalling its final attack on its prey, we first went for a walk on the beach to see Sveti Stefan from a different angle. Only then did we return to the causeway that connects the mainland to the island. We were happy to see very few people around, and were looking forward to finally explore the island itself. Our delusion was therefore big when we arrived at the entrance: a closed gate. Sveti Stefan appeared to be under reconstruction, and will remain closed. When it will finally open again, it will once again have been converted to a luxury accommodation, and it remains to be seen if the village will open its gate to the occasional visitor. Little could the original fishermen in the 15th century have anticipated that their island would once become so inaccessible. But then again, this island was deserted by the fishermen in the 1950s, after which a group of architects and artists decided to save it, and convert it into something unique. As a side-effect of the demise of Yugoslavia, Sveti Stefan lost its appeal in the 1990s, before it was bought by a luxury resort operator.
