AMALFI, ITALY
The beautiful Amalfi Coast is home to some of the most spectacular views in Italy, with a view of the isle of Capri. We explore the fertile cliffs on walks, tour a lemon farm and winery, take to boat ride to Positano, take pizza classes and more!
Why do we love the Amalfi Coast?
What’s not to love?! Glamorous towns from a classic era, beaches that sparkle, rocky hillsides with celestial views—the list goes on and on. There is a reason this remains a top tourist destination year after year. To see the marvel of homes and hotels built into the side of a rock wall, a pink a white fortress from the sea, is reason enough. The beaches are unique—pebbled, not sandy—so you come out of the clear turquoise waters feeling refreshed, a faint glitter of salt left after the water dries in the sun. Where else can you sit under a popsicle hued umbrella, drinking Prosecco and watching vintage boats bob in the distance? The opportunity for exploration is vast, from boat rides that take you along the coast to the winding roads to the famed hikes in the hills high above the seas. The towns make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, and the food provides so much comfort and character.
Where do we stay?
We stay in a boutique hotel in the town of Praiano, which is situated midway along the coastline between Positano and Amalfi. Off the beaten path, this town is the perfect home base for exploration of the coast, giving you a glorious view of Capri and Positano in the distance, while avoiding the hordes of tourists. Not only are there beaches nearby and a pool to relax in at the hotel, but Praiano’s position also allows for sunsets that you will remember for a lifetime. The hotel has lovely terraces with panoramic views and quaint rooms with traditional majolica tile.
Why take a wellness retreat here?
The Amalfi Coast is like stepping into a dream world. It’s really hard to worry about the problems of home when you are surrounded by such extreme beauty. And if they follow you here, you have waters to restore you, hikes to work through your stresses and yoga with a view to put life into perspective. While people might not think of this as a wellness location, we think the spa treatments, food classes and astounding nature surrounding this location force you into a state of gratitude and presence.

CURRENT AMALFI RETREATS
We are continually inspired by vintage travel posters, postcards and photographs. When we were rebranding last year, these tokens were our main inspiration. Not only for the color and type, but for the memory they provoke. We wanted to share with you a collection of a few from some of the locations we are visiting this year. Hope you enjoy and tha it inspires you to travel somewhere with us in the future!
