Positano climbing the cliffside, Amalfi CoastAmalfi Coast ยท Italy
Luxury hotels on the Amalfi Coast.
Cliffside icons in Positano, the quiet of Ravello, and the boat that saves you from the road.
The Brief
The coast is vertical. Choose your altitude.
The Amalfi Coast is one road, forty kilometers of switchbacks, and a handful of hotels built into cliffs before building there became impossible. Those grandfathered positions are the product. Nobody will ever have that view again.
Positano is the stage, social and glittering. Ravello sits three hundred meters above the sea in gardens and silence. Praiano and Amalfi town fall between. Your evenings decide it: people watching from a terrace, or infinity and quiet.
The Addresses
Seven positions on the cliff.
Insider Notes
Take the sea, not the road.
Arrive by water. A private transfer from Naples by boat takes ninety minutes and delivers you to the hotel jetty rested. The same trip by road in July is three hours of hairpins behind buses. Once installed, day boats to Capri and the fjords are the coast's real itinerary.
Pair the coast with Capri across the water, twenty five minutes by tender, or run the full crossing to Sicily. For the charter version of this coastline, our Italy yacht desk builds it week by week.
The Luxury.it Perspective
On this coast you pay for the impossibility of the building. The view is what impossibility looks like at sunset.
