Capri ยท Italy

Luxury hotels in Capri.

The island of the Piazzetta, the Faraglioni and the six addresses that stay serene while the day boats churn below.

The Brief

Capri by day and Capri by evening are different islands.

From ten to five, ferries pour twenty thousand visitors onto four square kilometers. At six they leave, and Capri returns to the people sleeping on it. A hotel here is not accommodation, it is your membership card to the second island.

Capri town puts the Piazzetta, the boutiques and the evening ritual at your door. Anacapri, higher and quieter, trades the scene for space and sunsets. Both are correct answers to different questions.

Insider Notes

The day is won at sea and at the beach clubs.

Reserve the beach clubs before the flights. La Fontelina under the Faraglioni and Il Riccio above the Grotta Azzurra are the island's real theaters, and their daybeds in season are harder than any restaurant table. Our beach club guide covers the timing.

Charter a private gozzo for at least one full circle of the island, swimming the grottos before the crowds. Capri pairs with the Amalfi Coast across the water, and the boat between them is the best commute in Europe.

The Luxury.it Perspective

Capri is a stage set that empties every evening. The hotel decides whether you are audience or cast.

Concierge

June to September, the island runs on relationships.

Rooms, tenders, daybeds, tables. One request to our desk sets the entire island week.

Questions

Good to know

Capri town or Anacapri for a luxury hotel
Capri town for the Piazzetta ritual, shopping and walking to dinner. Anacapri for altitude, quiet and sunset views with more space. First trips usually favor Capri town.
How do I get to Capri
Private boat transfer from Naples in about fifty minutes, or from the Amalfi Coast in twenty five. Hotels arrange porters at Marina Grande. There are no cars in the center, which is the point.
Is Capri worth staying overnight
It is the only way to see the real island. Day trippers leave by early evening, and Capri from aperitivo onward, plus the sea at eight in the morning, belongs entirely to hotel guests.
