Relais Blu

We can’t say that this beautiful small luxury hotel Relais Blu with 11 wonderful rooms is on the Amalfi Coast neither is it Sorrento. Sitting on the very point where the two meet it has something far more precious being perched right on the tip of the two with stunning views across to Capri, just in front, and a 270 degree vista of Mediterranean macchia and deep azure waters.

Refined and calm luxury with terrace after terrace nudging you to sit and fall into a trance confronted with the most complete and sensual Mediterranean experience available. Tearing yourself away from the views you might choose to visit Pompei, Positano, Amalfi, Capri, Ischia or one of the other towns or world class archeological sites within easy reach. The more adventurous might like to hire a boat and explore the secret beaches and coves that the Amalfi Coast reveals to those who search a little further or alternatively take part in one of the sub-acqua diving trips that the hotel leads three times a day. The waters below the Relais Blu form part of the Punta Campanella Marine Park with a wonderful display of protected flora and fauna.

If all this sounds like too much then stop around for lunch and one of leading chef Christoph Bob’s ventures in the freshest and best of local seafood. It’s not just the food, though, that has been given great attention. The rooms are all spacious and offer jacuzzis and other little luxurious details to ensure you can drift off in comfort, surrounded by peace and calm. A refined, clean look has been chosen, with plenty of whites and blues to reflect the peacefulness of the Mediterranean and a cool air of relaxation.

The Relais Blu opened in 2006 and really is a wonderfully special place to stay, come here for a long weekend and regret that you need to leave such a tranquil haven, visit for a week and really leave behind all earthly worries.
