The black-and-white-tiled infinity pool at Porto Montenegro stretches 213 feet and features panoramic views of the Bay of Kotor. It's believed to be the longest infinity pool in the five-year history of the Republic of Montenegro, and a construction crew is currently at work on a surrounding teak deck, rows of cabanas, and a DJ platform. On the opposite shore is a cluster of squat gray houses where Yugoslav Army officers once vacationed.
The soiree is the highlight of what local officials predict will be the most exciting summer in the history of Porto Montenegro—largely because it's going to be the first summer in the history of Porto Montenegro. Three years after breaking ground, the resort town—located in the western city of Tivat—is preparing to celebrate its first fully functional season. Porto Montenegro encompasses 60 acres of beachfront real estate and has water rights to 160 acres along the Bay of Kotor, which, local officials note, leads to the Adriatic Sea, which leads to the Mediterranean Sea. When all the construction is completed in five or six years, Porto Montenegro will include a luxury hotel, a casino, 700 apartments, and 650 yacht berths. In the meantime, according to Kingsmill, condominium prices have already risen from $600 to nearly $2,000 per square foot. If all goes as planned, Rothschild could celebrate his 50th birthday there, too.The pool, now empty, is expected to be filled by July. That's when British ex-hedge-fund manager and Rothschild scion Nathaniel Rothschild will celebrate his 40th birthday with 400 of his closest friends. According to Colin Kingsmill, Porto Montenegro's sales and marketing director, Rothschild's guests will include the ritziest, wealthiest, and most photogenic people on earth. Kingsmill won't say who's coming, exactly, but he claims the "least interesting" person on the invite list is Tony Blair.(more)
