Adults-Only Hotels in Amalfi Coast

Adults-only hotel on the Amalfi Coast: Steep cliffs, calm sea, no children’s noise

The Amalfi Coast is not the place for family entertainment and children’s pools. It is narrow, steep and surprisingly peaceful once you have left the day-trippers behind. That is exactly what makes it one of the best regions in Italy for a holiday for two. In our Adults Oasis directory, you will find the listed adults-only properties on the Costiera Amalfitana, designed for couples, wellness and peace and quiet rather than hustle and bustle.

Location and getting there: How to arrive without losing the day in traffic

The coast lies south of Naples on the Sorrento Peninsula, between Positano in the west and Vietri sul Mare in the east. The towns are literally clinging to the hillsides, connected by the winding SS163 coastal road. Driving a hire car along it is spectacular, but the road is narrow and slow-going in high summer, while parking is scarce and expensive.

• Flight: Depending on your destination, Naples-Capodichino Airport and Salerno-Costa d’Amalfi Airport are both options.
• Transfer: Allow plenty of time for the journey.
• Boat: During the season, ferries connect Salerno, Amalfi and Positano. Seen from the water, the coast shows its most beautiful side anyway.

Why the Amalfi Coast works for an adults-only holiday

An adults-only hotel on the Amalfi Coast is all about the location. The coastal setting shapes your stay. The listed properties offer sea views. The listed properties cater to adults and offer different facilities depending on the property.

Wellness and spa facilities above the sea

The listed properties offer spa or relaxation facilities depending on the property. Depending on the property, the listed properties feature a spa, a bio-sauna or a relaxation area. A sunset drink by the pool as the sun disappears behind the cliffs is more the norm here than a special highlight.

Romance that does not need to feel staged

You do not need rose petals on the bed on this coast; the setting takes care of the rest. Dinner on a lemon-scented terrace, a stroll through the narrow streets of Positano once the bus tours have left, or a private boat trip to a hidden cove. The adults-only properties give you the peace and quiet that make such moments possible in the first place. For honeymoons, anniversaries or simply a break for two, the region is hard to beat.

Food: Lemons, seafood and simple, good cooking

The cuisine of the Costiera is down-to-earth and centred on the ingredients. Fresh fish, handmade pasta such as Scialatielli, mozzarella from Campania and, of course, the huge Amalfi lemons that end up in limoncello, desserts and even salads. The restaurant "Un Piano Nel Cielo" at Casa Angelina is known for Campania-inspired cuisine. Try the small trattorias in Ravello and Amalfi; you will often eat better and more honestly there than in the photogenic restaurants right by the water.

Nature and activities beyond the beach

Beaches are scarce here and usually pebbly, but there are plenty of other things to do:

• Sentiero degli Dei: The Path of the Gods runs high above the coast from Bomerano to Nocelle, with views that make every effort worthwhile.
• Ravello: The peaceful hill town with the gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, ideal for a leisurely afternoon.
• Boat trips: Capri, the Emerald Grotto near Conca dei Marini or simply swimming wherever there is no sun lounger.

Best time to travel

May, June and September are the smartest months: warm enough for swimming, but without the crowds and temperatures of high summer. July and August are hot and busy, the road is congested and prices are high. In spring, everything is in bloom and the lemons hang ripe on the trees; in late summer, the sea is at its warmest. Many properties close over winter, so check their opening times before booking.
