Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is best met from the water. Pastel towns spill down the cliffs, and the days arrange themselves around long lunches, slow boats and the colour of the sea.

A coast worth lingering on

Base yourself in one town rather than racing the whole coastline. Ravello’s gardens reward an afternoon, while Positano’s steps are made for wandering without a destination.

Let the afternoons go unplanned. The best moments here are the ones you did not schedule — a harbour-side espresso, a swim before dinner, the light turning gold over the water.
