The Most Glamorous Amalfi Coast Hotels To Book This Year If You're All About That VIP Life

Land of hairpin bends, road trips by convertible only, vertical towns that cling to the cliffs and supersize citrus fruits – plus spectacular Amalfi Coast hotels to boot.

If you’re planning a trip to this most romantic part of (already pretty starry-eyed) Italy, here’s the ELLE edit of the best hotels on the Amalfi Coast, from an old monastery in a sleepy fishing village just outside of Positano to a remastered medieval palace in Ravello. Like our pick of Lake Como hotels, these luxury addresses promise a thoroughly glamorous holiday in Italy.

The Amalfi Coast is a haven for honeymooners and it isn’t hard to see why: winding roads precariously hug the coastline, colourful buildings are stacked up above the shore and almost everything is framed by a lemon tree or some bougainvillea. There are secret coves to locate for swims in their turquoise waters, Med-facing terraces for long, lazy lunches of spaghetti frutti di mare, and boats to whisk you over to Capri or Ischia.

Unsurprisingly, celebrities have long admired this spectacular shoreline, and there is an abundance of A-list-approved hotels to accommodate them – famous former guests of Le Sirenuse in Positano include Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Many of the region’s hotels are temples to old-school Italian glamour – for something a little more modern, try Casa Angelina in Praiano.
