Portonovi is pleased to announce two key leadership appointments as part of its continued commitment to excellence and strategic growth.

Mr. Selim Ölmez has been appointed as the new General Manager of Portonovi Resort. With over 26 years of international experience in the luxury hospitality sector, Mr. Ölmez brings a wealth of operational knowledge and visionary leadership to the role. His distinguished career includes leadership roles across iconic properties such as W Doha, The St. Regis Istanbul, and Matild Palace in Budapest.

“What drew me to Portonovi is its incredible potential,” said Mr. Ölmez. “It’s a destination that blends natural beauty with world-class design and service. I’m excited to lead the resort into its next chapter and help shape its future as one of the Mediterranean’s top luxury destinations.”

As General Manager, Mr. Ölmez will focus on enhancing the guest experience, strengthening team culture, and aligning the resort's operations with global luxury standards. His appointment comes at a pivotal time for Portonovi Resort, following its recent integration into the Absheron Hotel Group, a prestigious hospitality brand under PASHA Real Estate and PASHA Holding LLC.

In parallel, Mr. Stevan Milić has been appointed as Chief Commercial Officer of Portonovi.

Mr. Stevan Milić has been an integral part of the Portonovi project for over a decade, holding various leadership roles since joining in 2014. With a strong background in corporate affairs and communications, operations, and strategy, he has played a key role in shaping the resort’s development and positioning. Most recently, he served as General Manager of Portonovi Resort Management Company, where he led critical aspects of the resort’s operations and commercial planning. In his new role, he will oversee all commercial operations, including sales, marketing, and marina sales, focusing on growth, partnerships, and market expansion.

“Being part of Portonovi since the earliest phases has given me a deep understanding of its unique positioning and long-term potential,” said Mr. Milić. “I am excited to take on the role of Chief Commercial Officer and lead our teams in delivering outstanding business results. Portonovi is one of the most important developments in Montenegro’s luxury tourism sector, and I am proud to support its continued growth, both as a flagship project for our company and as a contributor to positioning Montenegro prominently on the global luxury map.”

With this renewed leadership team, Portonovi is set to further elevate its offering and reaffirm its position as one of the region’s most desirable destinations for discerning travelers and investors alike.
