About Us

Our story

A boutique sanctuary on the Bay of Tivat — composed around stillness, the sea, and a family heritage of Mediterranean olive groves.

Welcome

A hotel built around the quiet

Ollie's Hotel by the Sea is an elegant boutique hotel of the 4+ category, set directly on the shoreline in Donja Lastva — minutes from Porto Montenegro and a world away from its summer pace.

Everything at Ollie's begins with the bay. The light on the water at six in the morning. The cool stone of the lobby in the afternoon. The slow, unhurried hour before dinner at Luma when the day shifts from sun to candlelight. We didn't set out to build another resort — we set out to compose a quiet place on a piece of coast we love.

The Hotel

Considered. Honest.
Quietly luxurious.

The architecture follows simple, considered lines — set into the slope of the bay, west-facing, opening toward the Adriatic. Inside, we worked with one palette: lime-washed walls, raw oak floors, brushed brass fittings, linen and natural stone. Nothing in the materials is meant to perform — only to age well.

Thirty-five rooms and suites — each composed around its own light. Most open onto a private terrace; many sit directly above the water. The proportions are generous, the privacy is real, and the smallest details (the linens, the bedside reading light, the morning espresso) have been chosen with the same care as the bigger ones.

The Family

A hillside, a family,
a small idea

Long before the hotel was an idea, our family had a hillside of olive trees above Donja Lastva. The oldest of them are over two hundred years old. They produce the first oil of every season — a few hundred bottles, hand-picked and cold-pressed within a day of harvest.

Ollie's grew out of that grove. The same oil that goes onto the family breakfast table also goes onto the bread at Luma, into the spa rituals, and into the small ceramic bottle that arrives in your room on the day you check in. It's the small thread that runs through everything we do.

A hotel without a story is just a building with rooms. The story we keep telling is the one of a family, a hillside, and a tree.

Our Promise

What you can expect from Ollie's

Four small commitments that shape everything we do — from the way we welcome you on arrival to the way we lay the breakfast table.

Quiet Luxury

No spectacle, no rush. Considered service, natural materials, and a hotel that gets out of its own way.

Directly On The Sea

A private beach platform on one of the calmest stretches of the Adriatic. Zero metres from the room to the water.

Family Olive Oil

The same hand-pressed oil from our family groves on every breakfast table, in the Luma kitchen, and in the spa.

Genuine Hospitality

A small team that knows your name by the second morning, and remembers the room you liked the year before.

Where We Are

Donja Lastva,
on the Bay of Tivat

Donja Lastva is a quiet village on the north side of the Bay of Tivat — the calmer, slower side of the bay. From the lobby, it's a short walk to Porto Montenegro, a gentle drive to the old town of Kotor and the baroque village of Perast, and a thirty-minute crossing to the wild coves of the Luštica peninsula.

The bay itself is one of the most sheltered stretches of the Adriatic — protected from the open sea by two narrow channels, the water stays glassy late into the afternoon. The light, the air, the small fishing boats, the slow rhythm of the village — that is the place. We just composed a hotel around it.

The Detail

It's the small things

The pillow you ask for. The book left open on the night table. The bottle of cold-pressed oil that finds you on the first afternoon. The candle that lights itself on the Luma terrace at 7:45 — quietly, without anyone announcing it.

Hospitality, for us, is the long list of unspoken gestures that make a guest feel known. Not a script. Not a checklist. Just a small team paying attention.

“

A quiet, considered hotel that gets out of its own way — the sea, the light and the food do all the talking. We left feeling unwound for the first time in months.

Arrive. Settle in.
Look at the bay.

The simplest way to experience Ollie's is to arrive, set your bag down and look out at the water. We'll take care of the rest.
