- off-season (island closed in winter)

Part of Sveti Stefan can be visited viewpoint year-round, island summer only. The viewpoint and the park above the village don't follow the hotel's season. The island tour itself does; the best time is summer for the beach, viewpoint year-round, when the nearby beach is also a reason to stay longer than half a day.
Two separate schedules run on the same headland; the viewpoint and the park don't track the month, the island tour does.
Best time to go: summer for the beach, viewpoint year-round
The beach below the viewpoint is then a reason to stay longer, and the guided island tour runs its full summer schedule, two slots a day. The viewpoint and the park run the same as out of season; it's simply warmer for the walk to Pržno.

Winter and off-season
The viewpoint above the village and the Villa Miločer park run all year, with no change to entry. The guided island tour itself stops once the hotel moves to its winter footing; the exact closing month isn't officially published, so the slot is worth checking just before the trip if that's the reason for coming.
Access to that beach doesn't follow the island tour's season; since the 2026 reopening it's guests-only year-round, whenever the hotel itself is open.
