Hotel Miramalfi is built into the cliffs immediately west of Amalfi, with white terraces and broad windows directed towards the sea. Its mid-century origins remain evident in clean lines, curved forms and carefully chosen colour, while bedrooms use local ceramics and pale natural materials. A lift descends through the rock to the beach club, where a seawater pool and bathing platforms sit directly above the Mediterranean. Donna Emma and the more relaxed Azur Lounge make the coastline part of the dining experience. Amalfi’s cathedral and harbour are within walking distance, reached along the road beneath the hotel’s elevated façade.
