Amalfi Coast Holidays
A picturesque stretch of coastline brimming with colourful villages, stunning cliffs, and Mediterranean charm, the Amalfi Coast is Italy’s coastal jewel.
Holidays in Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a stunning Mediterranean paradise located in southern Italy. Famous for its dramatic cliffs, pastel towns, and clear turquoise waters, this scenic coastline offers a perfect mix of relaxation, history, and delicious cuisine. Explore the charming streets of Positano, discover the ancient ruins of Pompeii, or unwind on the beaches of Ravello. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a luxurious escape, holidays to the Amalfi Coast are the ultimate way to experience Italy’s natural beauty and rich culture.
Beyond its postcard-perfect views, the Amalfi Coast offers a wealth of experiences for curious travellers. Hike the breathtaking Path of the Gods for panoramic sea vistas, take a boat to the glamorous island of Capri, or visit lemon groves and sample fresh limoncello in Amalfi town. With boutique shopping, cliffside dining, and hidden coves waiting to be explored, every moment here is steeped in charm and indulgence. The Amalfi Coast isn’t just a destination — it’s a sensory escape into Italy’s coastal magic.

- Cruise to Capri, explore hidden coves, or dive into turquoise waters. The coast offers endless opportunities for boating, swimming, and seaside bliss.

More About Amalfi Coast
Wander Through Positano
Positano is the most famous town on the Amalfi Coast, known for its narrow streets lined with picture-perfect houses, luxury boutiques, and stunning views of the Mediterranean. Wander down to the Spiaggia Grande, relax at a café overlooking the sea, or take a boat trip to explore hidden coves. Be sure to visit Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, a charming church with a striking dome.
Visit Ravello’s Villas and Gardens
Ravello offers a more serene and sophisticated experience, with its breathtaking hilltop views over the coastline. Visit Villa Cimbrone, whose gardens and terrace offer some of the best panoramic views of the coast. Don’t miss the beautiful Villa Rufolo too, known for its stunning gardens and historical significance. Ravello is also famous for its Ravello Festival, so if you are looking for the perfect soundtrack to your summer, an Amalfi Coast holiday in Ravello filled with world-class music performances is just the ticket.
Explore the Amalfi Cathedral
The Amalfi Cathedral, or Duomo di Amalfi, is a stunning example of medieval architecture, with a striking façade and impressive interior. Located in the heart of Amalfi town, the cathedral is dedicated to Saint Andrew and is home to stunning mosaics and a peaceful crypt. After exploring the cathedral, stroll through the charming streets of Amalfi, which are lined with shops and cafes. This is the perfect people-watching paradise with a touch of rustic charm.
Food & Drink
The Amalfi Coast is a food lover’s heaven, offering fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and local specialities. Try scialatielli alle vongole, a local pasta dish made with clams, or delicious lemon-flavoured dishes like limoncello, the region’s famous lemon liqueur. The coast is also known for its fresh pizza margherita and seafood risotto, so add these to your foodie list. For dessert, delizia al limone is a must-try, a light lemon sponge cake that perfectly captures the Amalfi Coast’s citrusy sweetness. And it’s only right to pair every meal with a refreshing glass of Costa d’Amalfi wine, made from grapes grown on the steep coastal slopes.
