7 BORGO SANTANDREA AMALFI Conjure up a vision of ultra-glam 1960s Amalfi (when this property was first built), and you’ll love Borgo Santandrea, the first hotel opening on the Amalfi Coast in over ten years. This re-imagined haute-spot took two Italian families (with generations of hospitality experience and a vast collection of Midcentury design pieces between them) three years to renovate and reimagine. Rooms and suites with blue and white tiles, blue bathtubs, and expansive floor-to- ceiling windows draw inspiration from renowned designer Gio Ponti. The hotel is an engineering marvel at 900-feet-high, so you’re guaranteed dramatic sea-to-sky views from every vantage point and room. Eight elevators extend from the top of the hotel to the base of the cliff, where the beach club awaits. EXPERIENCE A PRIVATE BEACH IS A RARE OFFERING FOR A HOTEL ON THE AMALFI COAST, MAKING BORGO SANTANDREA’S BEACH CLUB AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO MISS. WITH ITS SOFT WHITE-PEBBLED SAND, RESTAURANT, AND PRIVATE JETTY, YOU MAY NEVER WANT TO LEAVE. @ borgosantandreaamalfi

9 BELMOND CARUSO

RAVELLO Set on the cliff edge, this 11th-century hotel was built by a wealthy family who found sanctuary in Ravello while journeying to Constantinople. Every suite in this ancient palace is unique, with intriguing historical details. Explore the frescoed salons and arched stone vaults before arriving for a dip in the striking infinity pool. It’s a swim you’ll never forget. The pool concierge can bring you a Kindle with a selection of reading material, a fresh fruit appetizer, or an Evian vaporizer— pure, unadulterated indulgence. EXPERIENCE HEAD TO THE IL LOGGIATO TO PLAN A PERSONALIZED MENU WITH THE CHEF, THEN HEAD TO THE SECLUDED CHEF’S GARDEN, WHERE A BEAUTIFUL TABLE FOR TWO AWAITS WITH AN IMAGINATIVE, TAILOR- MADE MENU CREATED ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR NIGHT. @ belmondhotelcaruso

8 SANTA CATERINA AMALFI This clifftop paradise is just outside Amalfi, and run by the fourth generation of its original owners. Service is truly old school, with many staff members boasting decades at the hotel.

A fabulous beach club with direct sea access, saltwater swimming pool, gym and restaurant is reached by a dramatic cliffside elevator ride, where terraces and bathing platforms are perched above the rocks with sunbeds and large white umbrellas. Honeymooners love either of the “Special Suites,” like the Follia Amalfitana, immersed in a grove of oranges and lemons, with a circular hydro pool and shell-shaped bed. Chalet Giulietta E Romeo is set into the cliffside with an overhanging turret-style terrace looking out to sea. EXPERIENCE GLICINE RESTAURANT: MICHELIN-STARRED CHEF GIUSEPPE STANZIONE HEADS THE HOTEL’S ACCLAIMED GLICINE RESTAURANT.

10 PALAZZO AVINO
