Infinity pool hotels on the Amalfi Coast

The heated infinity pool at Caruso is shared by all guests and sits on open terraces among Mediterranean gardens, high on the cliffs of Ravello. The Lattari Mountains rise behind it, and the view runs down the coast to the sea. The hotel, an 11th-century palace, welcomes guests of all ages, and children may use the pool with adult supervision. It opens seasonally, from spring to autumn.

In 2025 Belmond restyled the pool and relaunched it as La Piscina, a pool club with sun loungers, private cabanas, massages, sunrise yoga and live music in the evening. In its first season, in 2025, the club also sold pool access to day visitors when space allowed. Caruso Grill serves seafood and grilled dishes by the pool, and a pool bar covers drinks and light snacks.

Rooms at this infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast are all different: the 50 rooms and suites keep historical details such as frescoed ceilings, and some have balconies over the Tyrrhenian Sea. For more privacy, Villa Margherita joins two Signature Suites in the gardens into one villa with a private infinity pool, a sea view and a dedicated chef. Il Pantaleone, the main restaurant, serves modern Campanian cooking on a terrace facing the coast, and Caruso holds one MICHELIN Key. Best for: couples and view-chasers who want a historic palace base in Ravello.

This infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast occupies a 17th-century Dominican monastery on a cliff in the fishing village of Conca dei Marini. The heated infinity pool is shared by all guests, and its use is included in every stay. It sits at the lowest level of the terraced gardens, cut into the rock of Monte San Pancrazio. The oval freshwater basin has a vanishing edge over the Gulf of Salerno. A poolside cafe serves light meals during the day. The hotel's reservations page states that it accepts only guests aged 16 and over.

The monastery reopened as a hotel in 2012. Its 20 rooms and suites all have a sea view, from the small harbor below toward Amalfi. Each is named after an herb or plant once used by the nuns. Vaulted ceilings from the old nuns' quarters remain. Bathrooms are clad in Jerusalem stone with heated floors, and some of the 8 suites have a terrace.

Il Refettorio, the hotel restaurant, holds one MICHELIN Star and serves meals on a terrace above the gulf, and the hotel itself has one MICHELIN Key. The spa fills the monastery's vaulted rooms. Use of its Thermal Suite, with a tepidarium and a steam room, is included in the stay, as is an outdoor fitness area in the gardens. The sfogliatella Santa Rosa, a cream-filled pastry, was first created here by the nuns.

Best for: couples on a quiet getaway and food lovers who want a Michelin-starred dinner without leaving the hotel.

Furore Grand Hotel is an infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast, built into the cliffs of Furore between Positano and Amalfi. The small village is known for the murals painted on its houses and for the Fiordo di Furore, a rocky gorge that runs down to a small beach. The main infinity pool, shared by all guests, sits on a terrace at the cliff edge, with its open edge facing straight out to sea. Floating loungers, white parasols and daybeds line the deck. More outdoor pools, including a smaller one lower in the gardens, and a Kneipp path are spread across the hotel's nine panoramic terraces.

All 35 rooms and suites have a direct sea view, with contemporary design, natural materials and Vietri ceramics in a minimal style. Most categories are sized for 2 adults, and some suites add a terrace or a jacuzzi. The Signature Suite Pool has a private garden with its own pool and a direct view of the sea.

Bluh Furore, the hotel's fine-dining restaurant, holds one MICHELIN Star. The hotel also runs Acquarasa for all-day dining, the Ria Lounge Bar with a DJ set in the evening, a panoramic breakfast terrace and a wine cellar.

Built into the cliff above the harbor of Amalfi, this infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast occupies a 13th-century monastery, later a Capuchin convent. Its original cloister and chapel remain. The heated infinity pool sits on the cliffside, overlooking the Mediterranean, and it is shared by all hotel guests; the hotel says it is available all season. A pool bar brings drinks and light bites, from salads to burgers and gelato, to the sun loungers.

The convent was founded in 1212 and has welcomed hotel guests since the 19th century; the American poet Henry W. Longfellow stayed here and published his poem Amalfi in 1875. The 52 rooms and suites were renovated in 2023, and almost all of them look directly out to sea. The rooms, once the monks' quarters, start at 18 square meters (194 square feet) and are furnished in bright, neutral tones. Suites differ in layout: some have a private terrace with a jacuzzi, one stands alone in the lemon grove, and the Suite del Priore overlooks the cloister under preserved ceiling frescoes.

Chef Claudio Lanuto leads Dei Cappuccini, the fine-dining restaurant, which serves dinner only; La Locanda della Canonica offers grilled fish, pasta and pizza in a more informal setting. The Anantara Spa has a hammam, two couple rooms with sauna and steam room, and a panoramic gazebo terrace. There is no beach on site; for a fee, guests can use a dedicated area at the Lido degli Artisti beach club, set in a small cove. Children are welcome, with family rooms and kids' menus, and the hotel asks guests to keep the atmosphere peaceful. Best for: couples who want a quiet stay with a sea view, and travelers drawn to historic buildings.

Three infinity pools share the terraced rooftop of Villa Fiorentino, a family-run infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast, high above the streets of Positano. All guests have free access to the rooftop and its pools. On the middle level, a heated infinity pool with a waterfall and massage jets sits beside the Lounge Bar, which serves cocktails and light lunches. The upper level holds the swimming infinity pool, with a wide sun deck and lemon trees for shade. On request, the heated pools stay open late into the night.

From the rooftop, the sea view takes in the pastel houses of Positano and the Li Galli islets. A separate spa area for two has the heated Mirror Pool with massage jets, and guests get one free hour a day there, booked during the stay when a slot is free. The small spa also has a Turkish bath, and couples' massages take place in the open air. Dinners and aperitifs on the rooftop can be booked from April to October. In 2026 the hotel also listed a pool pass for outside guests, without published terms.

The villa offers rooms, suites and apartments, each listed with a sea view. The Honeymoon Suite and the Exclusive Lifestyle Suite, both for two guests, add a private pool; the Exclusive Lifestyle Suite has a glass plunge pool with a hot tub on its large terrace. The apartments have full kitchens, and the Victoria sleeps up to six in three bedrooms, with two panoramic terraces. Breakfast is served in your room or apartment. The Fiorentino family, descendants of Positano's first doctor, still runs the villa as its home.

Best for: families or groups of friends sharing a sea-view apartment, and couples who want a suite with a private pool in Positano.

Hotel Marincanto has welcomed guests since 1967 in the part of Positano that locals call "la Sponda", with wide views of the town and the sea. It is an infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast with one shared pool for all guests, dug directly into the cliff below the main building. Its open edge faces the sea, and the sun terraces around it look over Positano and its bay. Staff serve light lunches under the umbrellas and aperitifs directly in the water.

Private stairs lead down the cliff to the hotel's own beach, a peaceful lido on the flat rocks with sun beds, umbrellas, showers and bar service. Entry is reserved for hotel guests and included in the room price. The hotel bills itself as the only one in the center of Positano with a privately owned beach.

Every room is different. Junior suites have a private terrace over the bay and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub or jet shower; the Li Galli suite adds a panoramic double Jacuzzi facing the Li Galli islets, and the Honeymoon suite has an indoor Jacuzzi with a view of the bay. Some rooms are in Villa Incanto, an 18th-century house with hanging gardens shaded by a pine tree more than a century old. Terrazza Celè serves dinner every evening on a terrace with a sea view, and RED, the evening cocktail and champagne terrace, is the place for sunset drinks. The founder, Giuseppe Vespoli, was also mayor of Positano, and his grandchildren carry on the family tradition.

Best for: couples and honeymooners who want a central Positano base with both a pool and a private beach on site.

Covo dei Saraceni stands directly on Spiaggia Grande, also called Marina Grande, the main beach of Positano, at the foot of the houses that climb the hillside. This infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast keeps its shared infinity pool, open to all hotel guests, on the panoramic terrace of the fifth floor. The pool has a built-in whirlpool, sun loungers and umbrellas, and it looks over the beach, the town and the bay of Positano. It is open every day from mid-morning to early evening.

The Savino family opened the hotel in 1956 in the house where Clemente Savino, a coral merchant, had settled his family in the 19th century, and a third generation still runs it. The hotel bills itself as the only five-star hotel in Positano with direct access to Marina Grande beach, so guests reach the sea without the steep lanes of the town. A lift serves the whole building.

All rooms face the sea, with balconies or terraces toward the bay, glazed terracotta floors, Vietri ceramics and antiques. The Incanto Suite, the largest in the hotel, has a terrace with a small private pool; some Deluxe Junior Suites have a mini-pool on the sea-facing terrace, others an indoor whirlpool tub.

Volavento, the poolside restaurant and bar under shaded pergolas, serves the catch of the day and cocktails until sunset. Savino restaurant cooks contemporary Positano cuisine on a terrace over the sea, and the included breakfast buffet is served in the Bougainvillea Room. There is no spa, but massages can be booked in the room. Best for: beach lovers who want Positano's main beach right outside, and travelers who would rather avoid the town's steep stairs.

Borgo Santandrea began as a 1960s hotel that two Italian families transformed over almost four years, filling it with mid-century furniture and handmade ceramics. It sits 90 meters (295 feet) above the sea, on the cliffs over the fishing village of Conca dei Marini. As an infinity pool hotel on the Amalfi Coast, it works in two ways. The infinity pools are private, heated plunge pools that come only with the Junior, Deluxe and Premium Suite Sea View & Pool. All guests share a saltwater pool on a panoramic terrace with a wide sea view.

The Deluxe Suite has a private terrace and the Premium Suite a terrace or a garden; in all three pool suites, the plunge pool is heated up to 30 C (86 F) and faces the coastline. The hotel has 31 rooms and 21 suites. They are spread over several levels of the cliff: the suites and Deluxe rooms face the sea, while the Classic rooms look onto a courtyard.

From the pool terrace, paths and stairways wind through Mediterranean gardens to a private white pebble beach at the foot of the cliff, and two of the hotel's eight elevators also make the descent. Marinella Beach Club has sunbeds, beach service, a private jetty and Aqva, a seaside restaurant open for lunch. Up the hill, Alici is the hotel's MICHELIN-starred restaurant, led by chef Crescenzo Scotti, and the Wellness Retreat adds a sea-facing gym, a sauna and three treatment cabins.

Best for: travelers who want a pool day and a beach day without leaving the hotel, and design lovers drawn to mid-century Italian interiors.

Il San Pietro di Positano descends the cliff below a small 17th-century chapel dedicated to Saint Peter, its floors stepping down the rock toward the sea. The cliffside pool is set on a terrace cut into this slope, overlooking the sea and the village of Praiano. Sun beds and bar service surround the water, and in 2026 the pool is for hotel guests only. The hotel opens seasonally, from spring to autumn, and welcomes children from age 10.

From the lobby, an elevator cut into the rock goes down to the private beach club, a natural cove with a sun deck, sea platforms and a beach bar. Carlino, the seaside restaurant, sits by the water. Nearby, a tennis court stands between the rock face and a pebble beach, and a staircase path through the traditional terraces also links the lobby to the sea. The beach club is reserved for hotel guests as well.

The 57 rooms and suites are built one room deep, so every room opens onto a private terrace with a sea view. Each is decorated differently, with hand-painted ceramic tiles and custom-made furniture. Categories run from the Classic rooms to the Prestige rooms and The Virginia suite, and the Signature rooms were designed by Fausta Gaetani. The hotel holds three MICHELIN Keys, and its restaurant Zass has a MICHELIN Star. Zass and Carlino accept a limited number of outside diners, and non-guests can reserve a table at the terrace bar. In season, guests can join a free morning boat cruise along the coast.

Best for: couples who value privacy, and active travelers who want tennis and a free boat cruise included in their stay.

Guests at Hotel Santa Caterina reach the pool by elevator or on foot through the hotel gardens. It is a saltwater pool at sea level, set on a rock platform at the foot of the cliff, with sun loungers and direct access to the sea. The pool is part of the Beach Club, which opens from spring to autumn and in 2026 is reserved for hotel guests. The two Special Suites also have private pools of their own.

The hotel is a villa on the cliffs at the edge of Amalfi, facing the sea and the town, above terraced gardens of citrus and olive trees. The Gambardella family opened it in 1904 with six rooms and still runs it. Today there are 66 rooms and suites, plus 12 rooms in Casa Marchesa, a separate residence among lemon groves with a lap pool for its own guests.

On the top terrace of Hotel Villa Franca, the GOLD Sky Pool Club puts a rooftop pool high above Positano, with a 360-degree view of the sea and the village. Spiaggia Grande and its church lie on one side, Fornillo beach on the other, and the colorful houses of the town climb the hill in between. All hotel guests can use the pool, where sun loungers and parasols line the deck. Cocktails and a casual lunch are served by the water, and in the evening the same terrace hosts dinner under the stars.

Villa Franca has been a family hotel since the early 1940s, when chef-owner Giuseppe Russo began hosting the first international travelers in his own home. His children Mario and Franca later took over, and the hotel carries Franca's name. Today the third generation runs it, with design pieces and contemporary art in the rooms and public spaces. The rooms and suites are spread over two villas, and every one has a balcony or terrace facing the coast and the town. Interiors are white and minimalist, with king-size beds and Italian marble bathrooms. The HVF Touch Suites add a large terrace with an outdoor hot tub.

Li Galli Restaurant holds a MICHELIN Star, and part of its produce comes from the hotel's own garden. The wine cellar keeps over a thousand labels from sixteen countries. The O'Spa offers a hammam, massages and facials, plus a gym with a personal trainer on request. Children are welcome from 8 years old, and the GOLD Sky Restaurant by the pool accepts children over 10 only.

Best for: view-chasers who want a rooftop pool above the town, and wine lovers who want to explore a large cellar during their stay.

Tramonto d'Oro means "golden sunset", and the name goes back to a small cafe that Donato Esposito and his sister Carmelina opened in Praiano in 1952. Their family still runs the hotel in the center of the village, between Positano and Amalfi. The pool is a rooftop pool on the top terrace, shared by all hotel guests and included in the stay. It has a wide sea view toward Positano, the Li Galli islets and the Faraglioni of Capri. The hotel describes it as one of the largest pools on the Amalfi Coast. It is open from May to October, from morning into the evening.

A sun deck with loungers and colorful umbrellas runs along the water, and the Rooftop Cafe beside the pool serves coffee, light lunches, cocktails and a sunset aperitif. The sunset over the sea, which gave the hotel its name, is visible from the terrace and the pool.

The 38 rooms are each decorated differently with hand-painted ceramics from Vietri. The Mediterranean Rooms add Vietri tile floors, a sitting area and a sea view balcony. The Deluxe rooms with private Jacuzzi, in an adjacent building, have a large terrace with an outdoor Jacuzzi. Economy and Standard rooms have no sea view, and Family Rooms and cribs are available for parents.
