The Statement On The Amalfi Coast · A Proper Beach · Toured October 2026
The modern, spectacular statement on the coast. Just think twice before booking a room with a private pool.
Borgo Santandrea sits above Conca dei Marini, just along the coast from Amalfi. It is very modern, in the rooms and in the facilities, and that makes it feel different from every other hotel on the Amalfi Coast. I liked that.
The beach is the star: beautiful, massive and a proper beach. Dining at Alici is fantastic, and the service is refined but warm.
Two things to know. The sun leaves the water early, so in the fall your swim time ends around 4:30 or 5pm. And the private pool rooms are not that private. Come in May or June, or in September, and let me pick the room.
Above Conca dei Marini, just along the coast from Amalfi. A boat transfer from Naples or Salerno is practical and enjoyable, and the nearest helipad is in Scala, close to Ravello.
Yes, and it is the best part: beautiful, massive and a proper beach. The sun leaves the water early, though, so in the fall your swim time ends around 4:30 or 5pm.
Think twice. The private pool rooms are not that private: you can look down on your neighbors, and they can look down on you. Not everyone will mind, but it is important to know.
May to June, or September.
Borgo Santandrea is spectacular and brand new in feel. Santa Caterina is the opposite: it has been here for over a century and it knows exactly what it is doing. If you want warmth and history over a statement, choose Santa Caterina.
Yes. It is one of my two honeymoon picks on my World’s 50 Best (51–100) list, alongside Il San Pietro.
Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows Borgo Santandrea personally. As a Fora advisor, my clients typically receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast and a hotel credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
Tell me your dates, and I will tell you which room to ask for.
