Avelina Amalfi

Carved into the volcanic cliffs of Positano, Avelina Amalfi is a masterwork of Italian craftsmanship — a historic villa complex that has been transformed into the most coveted address on the Amalfi Coast. Thirty-six suites and terraced villas descend the cliff face in a cascade of bougainvillea and lemon groves, each with a private terrace commanding unobstructed views of the sea. The resort's culinary programme is led by a celebrated Neapolitan chef who sources every ingredient from the surrounding region — the lemons from the resort's own grove, the mozzarella from a nearby buffalo farm, the fish from the boats that dock each morning in Positano harbour. A private boat is available for daily excursions to Capri, Ravello, and the sea caves of the Amalfi Coast.
