9 of the Most Stylish Hotels on the Amalfi Coast for a Chic Italian Getaway

Luxe Travel Epic Stays
by Kristine Hansen Oct 7, 2022

Fall is the perfect time to trek to the Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 for its preservation of incredible architecture and art dating back to the Middle Ages. This far southern region in Italy hugs the Mediterranean Sea and is marked by steep coastal cliffs. Hikes or village strolls are right out your door, the beaches are stunning, and the Aperitivo bar scene is one of the best in Italy.

Although there are many beautiful Amalfi Airbnbs to choose from hoteliers here have really stepped it up a notch. Hotels capitalize on the waterfront setting when building out their interior design, so you can wake up to beautiful vistas or maybe even see it all from bed. Here are nine design-oriented Amalfi Coast hotels in villages and the towns of Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, and Praiano. All are adorned with luxe amenities such as pools, spas, darling cafes, beautiful gardens, and romantic restaurants.

We hope you love the Amalfi Coast hotels we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay.

Casa Angelina‘s design by architect Gennaro Fusco is so chic you can buy much of the lifestyle vibe and interior décor in the hotel’s shop, including hand-crafted furnishings, and cozy sweaters. Ten room categories prove how individualized your stay can be. An outdoor plunge pool is artfully shaded by lemon trees. Farm-to-fork, wine-paired dinners at the glass-walled Un Piano Nel Cielo on the top floor showcase Campania produce, meats and fish, and its vegetarian tasting menu is a rare find. The morning starts with a huge breakfast spread (included in rates) loaded with delicacies.

In 1951 four siblings opened Le Sirenuse, weaving in their personal art collection, which has since expanded to contemporary-art installations commissioned by a London curator. The restaurant La Sponda’s outdoor terrace is so romantic many couples decide to get married while dining there. For guests who crave pampering, a spa, pool, wellness center, and hammam are on the property. They include breakfast in their rates no matter which of the 10 room categories you book — and nearly all have ocean views.

While within a former 13th Century monastery, this hotel also embraces modern amenities such as an infinity pool and spa. But if you do like the nod to earlier times, you’ve got options: the Presidential Suite was once the Capuchin monks’ refectory room, and another suite’s frescoed ceiling dates back to the 1800s. All rooms were once the monks’ sleeping quarters. Two restaurants specialize in Italian and Mediterranean fare, with Dei Cappuccini’s terrace flaunting unobstructed views of the Amalfi Coast. It’s a brief walk into Amalfi’s center for when you want to explore.

Located at Positano’s highest point, there isn’t a bad room at Villa Magia. All look out on either the sea or the Positano rooftops and feature a private terrace with a sunbed for lounging and a dining set. In addition to two pools (and a third if you’re lucky enough to book the suite with its private pool), the spa is also top-notch in the wellness department with a Turkish bath as well as massage treatments in a canopied four-poster bed. Luna at Villa Magia, the on-site restaurant, specializes in tapas folding in locally sourced ingredients along with craft cocktails. As the villa owns both a luxury speedboat and a wooden gozzo boat, getting out on the water is a breeze — and it’s even stocked with Prosecco and snorkeling gear.
