The myth of Capri—its sea-toned beach clubs, elegant traditions, and Mediterranean cliffside restaurants—is decades old, yet it is timeless and never goes out of style.

The island's charm, with its delightfully retro yet contemporary and luxurious seaside resorts, never grows old, and it's certainly easy to see why.

Elegant and historic Capri beach clubs that line the entire 360-degree coastline of the island, from the lively Marina Piccola to the iconic Faraglioni, passing through the reserved Anacapri with its lighthouse and the Blue Grotto. You can choose from venues with a vintage or contemporary vibe, indulging yourself with a taste of absolute freedom while experiencing true luxury the slow-paced luxury and simplicity.

Nothing else like it in the world

The beach clubs on Capri are simply unique, just like the island that hosts them.
Forget the beach clubs you've been to in other parts of the world. On Capri, the sunbeds are arranged between the limestone rocks, on platforms sprayed by the waves or perhaps directly on the rocks themselves.

Sometimes you'll find yourself on small pebble beaches dotted with Mediterranean flora and lapped by the turquoise water of the Gulf of Naples.
If you wish, you can comfortably take a boat to reach your location on the Mediterranean shores and enjoy your cocktail surrounded, quite literally, by the sea of Capri!

Divine cuisine just steps from the sea

Between sunset aperitifs, healthy light lunches, and Michelin-starred dinners, Capri's many beachfront restaurants represent a true culinary journey within a journey.
A combination of international dishes and regional Campania recipes brings a unique twist that is often alone worth a trip to the island or a yacht cruise around its coastline.
For the most exclusive locations booking is a must, and in high season you can only get a table by making reservations well in advance or by booking a table for several consecutive days.
Usually you can decide if you'd like to stop just to eat at the restaurant or also enjoy a few hours of relaxation on a sun lounger at the beach club, as well as whether to add a private boat tour or be accompanied by motorboat from the port of Marina Grande directly to your personal umbrella on the beach.
