Capri is a white isle in a sapphire sea, where movie stars come for legendary spa treatments (Gwyneth Paltrow favours the Leg School at Capri Palace), millionaires retire to their clifftop retreats and couples whisper sweet nothings in the Blue Grotto. My personal pick of the hotels is the Capri Palace Hotel, an Italian gem with indulgence written all over it.

When it comes to romance, the Italians rule supreme – and nowhere in Italy is more romantic than the island of Capri. Spend your days exploring the stunning coastline by boat, or simply lounging poolside, while in the evenings you may wish to dress up for an elegant dinner.
Located in Anacapri, the island’s most exclusive area, the Capri Palace Hotel & Spa is the grande-dame of Capri and one of our most sublime honeymoon recommendations.
With sensational views across the Bay of Naples, the Capri Palace Hotel is the epitome of Italian seaside glamour. Soaring columns, vaults and arches, an eclectic art collection and stylish interiors create the ambiance of an Italian Palazzo. The 81 guest rooms and suites contain chic furnishings and ivory textiles. Some have a private pool and garden.
L’Olivo restaurant boasts two Michelin stars and the casual dining options will also impress. The poolside bistro, Il Mosaico, and the newly opened Il Riccio restaurant and beach club, located by the famed Blue Grotto, provide fantastic lunch options.
Capri has long been recognised as a healing island, renowned for its health-giving waters. Now it is home to one of Europe’s best spas, the Capri Beauty Farm, with a wide variety of pampering beauty and medical treatments to suit all spa lovers.
For the ultimate Italian honeymoon, we recommend a few nights in Positano along the rugged Amalfi Coast followed by a couple of nights in the medieval town of Ravello before reaching idyllic Capri. We call it The Italian Job and it costs from £2,985pp.
Five nights at the Capri Palace costs from £1,819 to £2,935 per couple on a B&B basis, including flights and transfers.
