From spectacular panoramic suites, to stunning spa resorts and Michelin-starred dining, these are the best luxury and boutique hotels in Capri, Italy.
I’ve adored visiting Capri in Italy! The island’s charm is utterly irresistible! From the stunning Blue Grotto to the chic boutiques and cozy cafes in the Piazzetta. Every visit feels like a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with breathtaking views and delicious food that keep me coming back for more!
This small, Mediterranean island off the Amalfi Coast is known for its gorgeous beaches, top-notch shopping, and tasty cuisine. It has inviting blue water and lots of natural beauty. When you hear all of this, it’s no wonder several Roman emperors chose Capri as the spot to build their luxury villas! I mean, I would… wouldn’t you?!
The island is best appreciated from one of its meandering paths or by boat. One of my favourite things to do is to get lost in Capri’s small and intimate streets. You don’t need a big plan. Just stumble upon one of the many gorgeous spots that are tucked away! For a special treat, you could look at hiring a private boat for an afternoon to explore the Grotta Azzurra (blue grotto).
I’m sure you’ll aware that this is an island with a steep price tag. Ok, forget that, it’s wildly expensive! Personally, I’ve never been able to afford staying for an entire holiday. I’d suggest you plan your trip in combination with a holiday on the Amalfi Coast or a wider trip around southern Italy. I promise it’s 100% worth it!
Be prepared to splurge on your holiday in Capri. Everything from food and drink, to accommodation comes at a premium. It won’t come as a surprise that this is a popular island with celebrities. You might even spot a few Hollywood stars while you’re there!
If you’re planning a trip and wondering where to stay in Capri, I can definitely help! In this comprehensive guide, I’m going to share the best hotels in Capri. From 5-star luxurious resorts to lesser-known, yet equally charming, boutique hotels, you’re guaranteed to find somewhere that takes your fancy!
