With luxurious cliffside hotels, breath-taking sea views and intimate, candlelit dinners by the water, it’s no surprise that the Amalfi Coast regularly tops the lists as the most popular honeymoon destination in Europe.

And it doesn’t disappoint! While its world-class reputation for beauty and luxury may make it a pricier destination, if there’s ever a time to indulge in somewhere truly special, it’s your honeymoon! So, if you’re dreaming of a boutique hideaway in Positano, a historic villa in Ravello, or a glamourous beachfront retreat in Amalfi, here’s my top recommendations of the best boutique hotels for honeymoons on the Amalfi Coast.

Hidden gems & secluded stays

Authentic stays

Beyond the main towns, the Amalfi Coast is dotted with smaller, lesser-known villages like Cetara, Atrani, and Conca dei Marini, which offer a more authentic and secluded honeymoon experience. Full of hidden gem accommodation, from private, family-run boutique hotels to charming bed & breakfasts, and tucked-away luxury villas. If you dream of waking up in a peaceful retreat surrounded by lemon groves and the sound of the sea, one of these off-the-beaten-path locations might be perfect choice for your honeymoon.

Sorrento

Convenient & lively

Although Sorrento isn’t actually on the Amalfi Coast, I felt it still needed a mention as it’s a very popular base for exploring the region. Overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento offers a mix of charm, convenience, and a wider range of accommodation options, including luxury hotels, boutique stays and more budget-friendly options when compared to the Amalfi Coast itself. It’s also really well connected with ferries to Capri, Naples and the Amalfi Coast, plus a direct train to Pompeii and Naples, making it a great choice if you really want to explore the whole region during your honeymoon.

It might not have quite the same intimate, postcard-perfect feel that some of the other towns do, but it does have a lively atmosphere, fabulous restaurants and the all important stunning sunset views!

Maison La Minervetta

4-Star | Boutique Hotel | Excellent location

With its bold design, relaxed atmosphere and spectacular sea views, this boutique cliffside hotel feels more like a stylish Mediterranean home than a traditional resort.
