As the sun rises in the east, the Mediterranean awakens a sultry, salt-kissed allure that feels like a dream come to life.

Sunlight ripples across turquoise waters, the sea beckons under cloudless skies, and the scent of salt and citrus hangs in the air like a promise – this is summer. The days are long, golden, and made for vacation. Whether that means plunging into sapphire coves, sipping chilled rosé beneath a vine-covered pergola, or dancing barefoot under the stars on the sand, One&Only offers a road less traveled in Greece & Montenegro.
