Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Praiano
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.
Positano
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.
Ravello
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.
Amalfi
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.
Praiano
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.
Amalfi
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.
