Discover the Best
The Amalfi Coast is a stretch of coastline of quite breathtaking drama, where five-star boutique hotels cling to the cliffs, terraced gardens carry the scent of lemon blossom, and the Mediterranean shimmers far below. Exquisite craftsmanship, fine materials and a personal, often family-run style of hospitality come together here with a sophisticated way of life: private beach clubs, infinity pools, boat trips and world-class dining. Our selection brings together the most refined addresses on the coast – from the grand historic properties of Ravello to seafront retreats in Positano and Amalfi – where standards are uncompromisingly high and every last detail is attended to with effortless precision.

Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We focus on five-star properties and estates with a well-documented record of guest satisfaction. In practice, this means consistently exceptional reviews and a standard of quality that shows in everything from the comfort of the beds and the finish of the bathrooms to the service protocols and the concierge team's know-how.
Distinguishing features
Private beach or jetty access, iconic infinity pools, award-winning dining (including Michelin stars), generous terraces with sea views, well-regarded bars and the ability to arrange bespoke experiences – daily boat trips, for instance – all carry significant weight in our selection.
Location and surroundings
We strike a balance between seclusion and convenience: clifftop settings for the finest views, but with easy access to the sea, the villages and onward transport. In Amalfi and Conca dei Marini, direct sea access is a priority; in Ravello, the historic gardens of the grand palazzi and their sweeping panoramas are what set a property apart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Positano and Amalfi for a setting close to the sea; Ravello for grand historic properties and far-reaching panoramic views.
Some do, yes. Certain hotels offer their own beach club or jetty with a lift down to sea level; others make use of partner beaches with reserved sun loungers.
May to June and September to October offer pleasant temperatures, clear skies, fewer visitors and better rates than the July and August peak.
For the high season, six to nine months ahead is advisable, particularly for suites and certain room categories.
Smart casual works perfectly well throughout; some fine dining restaurants prefer trousers and closed shoes in the evening.
Several welcome families with extra beds, children's menus and babysitting; others lean towards an adult atmosphere – it is worth checking before you book.
A private car with a driver or a boat is by far the most straightforward option; public transport is available but can be rather hectic during the high season.
