Taking Time for Yourself Is the New Luxury – And Portonovi Knows It
In the modern world, true luxury means having free time and dedicating that time to yourself. Taking care of your body and health has become a central element of modern life, and Portonovi has embraced this philosophy by offering experiences that inspire visitors and community members to live an active, mindful, and good life.
During the summer season, Portonovi Training Studio organizes a variety of outdoor sports activities, skillfully combining physical exercise with the natural beauty and Mediterranean atmosphere of the resort.
Every Wednesday, outdoor yoga classes are held at the stunning helipad. Small groups, expert instructors, and sunsets with breathtaking views offer participants a complete experience of relaxation and rejuvenation.
For those who prefer a more intense pace, outdoor functional training sessions take place every Thursday, focusing on strength, endurance, and overall physical fitness.
“When people work out outdoors, the body responds differently. They relax faster and connect more deeply with themselves and their surroundings. We want to offer an experience that lasts even after the training ends,” says Filip Vujadinović, Manager of Portonovi Training Studio.
Portonovi always has its youngest members of the community in mind. In June, the kids’ sports games were successfully held, and the program continues in July and August with the popular Portonovi Aqua Fun, scheduled for July 13 and August 10. Children aged 4 to 12 will participate in water games, relays, slippery tracks, and team challenges.
This year, Portonovi was once again proud to host one of the region’s most significant sports events - the 3x3 Montenegro Lite Quest Tournament. Top-tier teams from the global 3x3 basketball scene competed, including Liman (ranked 7th globally), Novi Sad (21st), and Podgorica Kodio (31st). In addition to high-level competitive matches, the tournament featured exhibition games with veterans and a children’s tournament, reinforcing its character as a shared sports celebration for all generations.
A long-standing partnership with the Triathlon Club Herceg Novi was crucial in the organization of two important running events that complete Portonovi’s sports calendar.
In summer, the Portonovi Summer Rise race traditionally marks the first day of the season. This year saw the sixth edition of the challenging race from Portonovi to the Zmijica Viewpoint, with new course records being set. Recreational participants also had the chance to take part in a walking tour along the same route.
In winter, Portonovi organizes the New Year’s Run, a festive race held in the holiday-decorated resort. The event welcomes runners of all ages and fitness levels, featuring kids’ races, medals, and a joyful festive atmosphere.
“A healthy lifestyle is one of the key pillars of life in Portonovi. Our clients and visitors are increasingly looking for experiences inspired by wellness and active living, and we strive to meet those needs with a thoughtful and diverse offering,” Vujadinović adds.
All of Portonovi’s sports initiatives are grounded in the infrastructure and philosophy of the Portonovi Training Studio, a central hub for daily movement, wellness, and quality living.
“Our mission is for Portonovi to be more than just a destination. We want it to be a place where people live fully, authentically, actively, and with purpose,” Vujadinović concludes.
Equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, Portonovi Training Studio offers personal and group training sessions guided by expert instructors, tailored to all fitness levels. Members also have access to garage parking and all the amenities needed for a comfortable and high-quality workout experience.
