Best Hotels in
Amalfi Coast

Perched on a cliff face between Positano and Praiano, with rooms and suites carved directly into the rock face — each with a private balcony over the sea and a glass-panelled lift descending to a private beach. One of the most romantic hotel settings in Italy.

• Ultimate Romance

The defining address of Positano — a converted 18th-century aristocratic villa that has anchored the village's creative and glamorous reputation since 1951, with a pool terrace, the celebrated Champagneria bar, and handmade ceramic-decorated rooms that have been unchanged for generations. John Steinbeck wrote about it for Harper's Bazaar.

• Iconic
• Positano View
• History

A splendid 1880 villa set in lemon-grove gardens above Amalfi town, connected by private lift to its seawater swimming platforms below, with a restaurant serving authentic Amalfitano cuisine and rooms of refined simplicity. One of the best-value luxury hotels on the coast.

• Lemon Gardens
• Sea Access
• Amalfi Town

Ravello's pinnacle of luxury — an 11th-century palazzo atop a 350-metre cliff above the Tyrrhenian Sea, with an infinity pool that appears to pour directly into the horizon, a Belmond spa, and gardens that have enchanted Greta Garbo and Humphrey Bogart. The greatest hotel view in Italy.

• Ravello
• Infinity Pool
• Ultimate Luxury

A 12th-century pink villa spread across Ravello's hilltop with a pink pool terrace, a Michelin-starred restaurant (Rossellinis), and rooms of extraordinary colour and character. The atmosphere is more intimate and artistic than the Caruso, with similarly extraordinary views.

• Michelin Dining
• Pink Palace
• Hilltop

A white-washed boutique hotel above the fishing village of Praiano with a cliffside pool, spectacular views of the Faraglioni rocks and sea, and a quieter, more affordable alternative to the Positano and Ravello luxury juggernauts. Adored by repeat visitors seeking authentic coast life.

• Praiano
• Quiet
• Views

A bold all-white minimalist hotel above Praiano with a dramatic infinity pool, a sophisticated restaurant, and rooms stripped to pure white and natural materials that create an almost meditative atmosphere above the sea. The Coast's most architecturally distinctive contemporary hotel.

• Minimalist Design
• Infinity Pool
• Adults Only

A family-run hotel in a terraced position above Positano's main beach with a pool, garden, and genuine warm Campanian hospitality at a price point well below the town's trophy hotels. The best value stay in Positano for those who want the experience without the five-star tariff.

• Value Positano
• Family
• Pool

A cheerful family-run hotel in the centre of Amalfi town with charming, colourfully tiled rooms and a genuinely warm local welcome. The town-centre position, within steps of the cathedral and ferry terminal, is excellent for those exploring the whole coast by boat.

• Character
• Amalfi Town

A former 13th-century Augustinian convent on the Ravello plateau, converted into a small and serene hotel with a cloister garden, lemon trees, and views over the coast from the elevated terrace. Remarkable value for a Ravello address of this historic quality.

• Convent
• Historic
• Value Ravello

A new-generation luxury retreat carved into the cliffs between Amalfi and Conca dei Marini, with pools suspended over the sea, cave-like spa facilities in natural grottos, and suites of extraordinary drama. One of the most architecturally striking openings on the coast in years.
