AMALFI COAST - THE PERFECT DESTINATION WEDDING SETTING
One of the most beautiful destinations in the world, the Amalfi Coast has our heart! With its blue skies, bright environment, green olive groves, tasteful arches and domes, and Sfusato d’Amalfi' wherever you turn. This region offers an incredible backdrop for your destination celebration, whether a wedding or a milestone. With access via the La Circumvesuviana Line from Naples, as well as via water options, traveling along the Amalfi Coast is a breeze (pun intended!). No matter how you get in and out of the Amalfi Coast towns, you’ll enjoy the coastal view, Mount Vesuvius, and the old world architecture.
The Amalfi coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the southern part of Italy that’s made up of many little towns, including Sorrento, Ravello, Amalfi and Capri. Each town has its own charm and we rounded up our favorite venues below!
MIRAMALFI:
Miramalfi is a hip, modern hotel and is THE space to admire Amalfi. Its clean Mediterranean design, with a cliffside pool, is all the approachable luxury we’re craving. They’re also taking steps to become more sustainable, which is top of our list when venue scouting for our clients. This hideaway is conveniently located to the town’s cafes and the paper museum, so your wedding guests can explore during down time.
HOTEL EXCELSIOR VITTORIA:
Located in Sorrento, Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is the ultimate guest getaway experience, with incredible amenities. Enjoy a day aboard Vittoria’s yacht as you sail to the island of Capri. Or stay on property to enjoy Michelin-star dining or a drink by the pool. Their guest accommodations offer a variety of spaces, including rooms, suits, and apartments. Their event spaces capture the essence of this region and include a gorgeous ballroom, with breathtaking views from the terraces.
This property is currently closed, but we are anxiously awaiting it’s grand reopening.
VILLA TREVILLE:
Villa TreVille is a dream on the cliffside of Positano. Positano has long been a holiday destination and a sought-after location to celebrate. Its narrow streets are filled with art galleries and cafes, climbing up the infamous mountainside of vibrant colored homes.
Villa TreVille is a wonderful getaway from main Positano, as it’s secluded terraces are surrounded by lush gardens. Just imagine your guests wandering the property as they move from ceremony to the next event! Your guests will also enjoy a vibrant menu, pulling ingredients directly from onsite gardens (and even eggs from their chickens)!
The town of Ravello has really embraced tourism, maintaining beautiful gardens that have inspired many of artists. This town is also known for musical festivals, that pre-covid days filled the air. We can’t wait for these traditions to come back, including Tuesday morning’s in Piazza Duomo with local vendors offering wines, mozzarella, olive oil, and designer clothes (at a discount)!
What’s also magical about Ravello is the beautiful destination wedding venue options.
PALAZZO AVINO:
Re-opening in May 2021 Palazzo Avino offers a guest to staff ratio of 1:2. making hospitality their top priority. This luxury family-owned boutique boasts a private beach club “Clubhouse by the Sea”, which is the spot for a welcome reception. Hotel’s complimentary shuttles make the guests’ experience seamless and one less logistics to worry about.
HOTEL VILLA CIMBRONE:
One of the best views of Amalfi can be seen from Villa Cimbrone's Terrace of Infinity, lined with historical statues. This luxury property boasts major privacy, with the Garden open to the public only from 9A to sunset.
CARUSO, A BELMOND HOTEL:
Located 1,000 feet above sea level, Caruso defines privacy. With so many terraces and hidden spots throughout the garden, our design ideas are running rampant. Twinkle lights, secret bar carts, and lounge nooks throughout are only the beginning of what a guest experience can be on this property! They also house exclusive suites with private access, open terraces, their own dining area, and personal garden, making this a strong option for a micro wedding.
We absolutely love the variety the Amalfi Coast offers for destination Italian weddings. This southern region is the perfect mix of narrow cobbled streets, luscious gardens, and cliffside pools with views for days. If you’re considering a 2022 celebrating here, DO IT. There are so many options for the perfect guest itinerary and event backdrops. If you’ve got questions, exploring this region as a possible event location, or want to discuss other destination options, shoot us a note and we’ll be happy to share our knowledge with you.
