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