The best hotels in Maiori

What are the best hotels in Maiori?

Maiori is one of the Amalfi Coast’s more relaxed seaside spots, with a proper sandy beach, a lively waterfront promenade and a family-friendly feel that’s quite different from the steep, glamorous towns nearby. There’s a good mix of places to stay, from old palazzos and small B&Bs to larger hotels. Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro is our pick of the bunch, with gorgeous sea views, pretty terraced gardens, an infinity pool and an intimate, adults-only atmosphere that makes it especially lovely for couples.

The Best Places to Stay in Maiori

For Romantics

• Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro is a romantic choice, a traditional clifftop hotel with dreamy views from all of its 14 elegant rooms and four suites. The infinity pool overlooks the water, as do the terraced gardens, with their citrus orchards, orchids and other exotic plants. The terrace restaurant and bar offer unbeatable views too. The decor combines tradition with craft – expect hand-painted furniture and ceramics, beautiful terracotta floors, and silk-taffeta drapes. It’s all very quintessential Amalfi Coast, and with no children allowed, they’re able to promise peace too.

For Great Value

• B&B Maiure is a six room B&B, elegantly converted from a well positioned old palazzo, which still has its grand sweeping staircases, vast windows, panelled ceilings and fireplaces. Breakfast is served on the breezy terrace, where there’s a fantastic view too, and there are a number of excellent places to eat and drink just a short stroll away. An affordable base.

Travel Information

• Naples Airport is Maiori’s closest international airport, and it’s about an hours drive away, or just an hour and a half by public transport. Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Airport might be convenient for connections, but it’s about three hours drive, or four hours away by train and bus.
• If you plan to hire a car, which we would advise if you want to get out and explore further afield, we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
• As with the rest of the Amalfi Coast, the most popular time to visit Maiori is during the summer, it’s hot and sunny but busy with it. Daily maximum temperatures in July and August average at 30° C, so if you’re not so good in the heat you might want to opt for May, June or September, which are still bustling periods, with lots of sunshine.
• Some argue for visiting the Amalfi Coast in spring, when the flowers are blooming, and many of the local towns are opening up excitedly after the winter — the Italian travel season officially begins at Easter. The Amalfi Coast hosts a couple of festivals and events during spring too.
