Find and Compare Capri Beach Hotels

The rugged, rocky gem rises out of the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean like a princess-cut diamond surrounded by shimmering sapphires. This jewel in the Gulf of Naples is Capri, Italy, and the beaches that circle the luxurious island playground are some of the best on earth. Imagine watching yachts float by as you relax away the time on a lounge chair, refreshing limoncello in your hand, the pebbly shore gently massaging your feet. In Capri, hotels on the beach—like the Capri Tiberio Palace —are where the rich and famous come to frolic in the Mediterranean. Those Ray Bans on your fellow sun worshipper may be doing more than shielding their eyes from the bright Italian sky, they might just be protecting their identity, as well. So, keep your dark shades on and live life like the elite on this European seaside paradise.

What fun activities are near the beach in Capri?

You could spend your entire vacation relaxing like royalty under the sun on the pristine shoreline in front of your Capri beach hotel. While sunbathing is an important undertaking, there are more fun things to busy yourself with while in Capri. Here are some of our favorites:

• Boat tour: Capri is far too beautiful to be experienced only from the beach. Take a boat tour from Marina Grande to get a different perspective of the island. The waters below you are so clear, you might believe you’re flying.
• Blue Grotto: During your boat tour, make a stop at this natural wonder. An undersea cave lets the light from the sun slip through to illuminate the waters, giving them an almost electric quality.
• Chairlift to Mount Solaro: The 12-minute chairlift ride to the most panoramic point on the island rewards you will an expansive view that includes the Faraglioni rock formations, the Sorrento Peninsula and the Gulf of Salerno.
• Villa San Michelle: While you are on top of Mount Solaro, stop by Villa San Michelle—home to the most picturesque vista on Capri—and stare out at the sea next to the statue of the Sphynx at author Axel Munthe’s Mediterranean dream home.

Where can I find the best seafood in Capri?

After a long day of fun on and around the beach, you are going to work up quite an appetite. When the urge to eat strikes, we recommend the following seafood establishments:

• Lido del Faro: Located on the western side of the island, this upscale option fuses local seafood with traditional Italian favorites, resulting in gastronomic transcendence in dishes like stuffed ravioli with clams and pumpkin.
• Bagni Tiberio’s Restaurant: After Tiberius retired as Roman Emperor, he spent his days in the bay where his namesake eatery now stands. Enjoying the seafood risotto on the dining terrace overlooking the sea will have you thinking you are the Emperor.
• Lo Zodiaco: With beachside dining, exquisitely decorated dishes, and local seafood bought fresh daily, Lo Zodiaco is a feast for the eyes as well as the palette. Mangia!
