The Amalfi Coast is home to some of Italy’s most distinctive luxury hotels, from historic palazzi and former monasteries to design-led retreats perched above the sea. Whether you prefer the energy of Positano, the quieter pace of Praiano and Conca dei Marini, or the elevated views of Ravello, the region offers an exceptional range of stays – many with private beach clubs, Michelin-starred dining, infinity pools and long-standing family ownership at their core.
Most hotels on the Amalfi Coast operate seasonally, typically opening in early April and closing at the end of October.
