The bay itself is a UNESCO-listed landscape of steep mountains and old stone towns, so the backdrop is dramatic. Around the spa you'll find a private beach and five outdoor pools, plus an indoor pool inside the center. Chenot is a health brand known for its intensive detox programs, and the Portonovi center is one of a small number of Chenot Espace locations worldwide. In 2026 the resort was named a new Five-Star winner by Forbes Travel Guide, which singled out the size of its Chenot space and its detox focus. The feel is a polished resort with a serious health program inside it. You can come purely for a program, or mix a few treatments into a beach holiday. ## The programs Everything is built on the Chenot Method, which combines diagnostics, a set diet and a daily schedule of treatments. Before you start, the team runs tests on a range of biomarkers to tailor the plan. Programs include the Chenot Diet, a light eating plan that's part of the detox. - **Advanced Detox (6 days).** The flagship program, aimed at a full reset of the body. - **De-Stress and Recharge (4 days).** A shorter program for burnout and low energy. - **Fitness (3 days).** Focused on movement and conditioning. - **Weekend Spa (2 days).** A short introduction for a long weekend. Personalized programs of one to seven days are also offered. Treatments draw on modern equipment and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and you can book single treatments without signing up for a full program. Program guests get free use of the gym, sauna, steam room, hammam and relaxation room, and daily yoga classes are included. ## Who it suits (and who it doesn't) It's a good match for busy people who want a short, structured reset with clear guidance, and for couples where one person wants a program and the other wants beach time. It also suits anyone curious about Chenot without committing to a longer stay at one of the brand's dedicated palaces. If you're after a rustic, low-key yoga retreat, this isn't it. The detox diet is restrictive by design, so the Advanced Detox isn't a food holiday. People with medical conditions should check with the team before booking an intensive program. ## Getting there Portonovi sits near the town of Herceg Novi, at the western end of Montenegro's coast. Tivat Airport is the closest, and Dubrovnik Airport across the border in Croatia is another common option. Ask the resort to arrange transfers when you book. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I have to stay at One&Only Portonovi to use Chenot Espace?
