Borgo Santandrea reopens for the 2025 season with a glamorous rooftop terrace, expanded private boat fleet, and its signature blend of 60s-inspired design and barefoot luxury
The Art of the Arrival – Now By Sea, in Style
If arriving in style were a competitive sport, Borgo Santandrea would take gold. As the Amalfi Coast awakens from its winter slumber, this cliffside gem reopens its doors—and its private dock—for the 2025 season. Debuting with an expanded fleet of boats, including the sleek PARDO 50 and chic SAXDOR 320, the hotel now offers even smoother sea transfers from both Naples and Salerno, the latter made more accessible by new international flights. Guests can bypass the region’s notorious traffic and instead glide across the Tyrrhenian Sea, Aperol in hand, before docking at the hotel’s beach club like a modern-day Sophia Loren.
Suite Dreams Are Made of This – Inside the Iconic Suite 801
Let’s talk about the suite that’s giving every design lover palpitations: Suite 801. Newly renovated and already legendary, this cliff-perched retreat is a masterclass in mid-century Italian glamour, seamlessly blending vintage treasures with sweeping sea views. Think Gio Ponti armchairs, a Poltronova sofa, antique lighting from Europe’s most charming markets, and handmade ceramic tiles inspired by an original Ponti carpet. The pièce de résistance? A terrazza privata with a plunge pool and a bathtub poised beneath arched windows, offering bath-time views that would make even a Roman emperor weep with joy.
A Hotel with Soul (and a Green Thumb)
True to its Mediterranean roots, Borgo Santandrea isn’t just about good looks. This season sees the debut of a new rooftop terrace and orchard, where lemons, pomegranates, and wild herbs grow in happy abundance. Helmed by third-generation landscaper and hotel manager Tano Amato, the gardens are a love letter to Amalfi’s botanical heritage. Guests are encouraged to treat the orchard as their own—pluck a sun-warmed apricot or sip a negroni among the jasmine. It’s Eden, with a wine cellar.
Dining Where the Sky Meets the Sea
With its first Michelin star gleaming above Alici, the hotel’s signature restaurant, Borgo Santandrea’s culinary credentials are stronger than ever. Dishes flirt with tradition while embracing innovation—always fresh, always artfully plated. Add in Il Plumbago bar, perched at the property’s highest point (a cocktail with altitude, if you will), and the breezy glamour of Marinella Beach Club, and you have a trio of spots that redefine “dining with a view.”
Borgo’s Vertical Fantasy – A Design Lover’s Playground
Spread across multiple cliffside terraces, Borgo Santandrea is not merely a hotel—it’s a vertical sculpture of 1960s nostalgia, Mediterranean colors, and artisanal craftsmanship. Every tile, chair, and lamp is hand-picked, many inspired by (or directly sourced from) Italian design legends. The hotel’s 52 rooms and suites are dressed in Amalfi’s classic white-and-blue palette, bathed in light and bursting with character.
Private Events with a View – The New Rooftop Terrace
And now, for those plotting an unforgettable soirée: the new rooftop terrace above the beach club is available for private hire. Imagine clinking glasses surrounded by olive trees and citrus groves, with the coastline unfolding like a dream below. It’s a setting worthy of Fellini, but tailor-made for your next milestone moment.
