Best Hotels for Families in Positano (2026)

Clinging to the cliffs of Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Positano is one of those places that looks even better in real life. With its pastel coloured houses tumbling towards the sea, streets lined with boutiques and cafes, and beaches surrounded by dramatic rocky headlands. It may be known as a glamorous getaway, but it can also work for families. The beaches can be busy, but the sand is soft and clean, the water clear, and the facilities (and gelato) are excellent! Here's our pick of the best places to stay if you're visiting Positano with little ones in tow.

For five-star luxury

• Villa Magia pairs jaw-dropping sea views with just 13 individually designed rooms. White-washed walls, hand-painted tiles and contemporary artwork give the place a fresh Mediterranean feel. Spacious suites and villa options are great for families, while three pools, an open-air spa, private boat trips and excellent dining make it easy to spend entire days here without leaving. Positioned just a 10 minute walk from the beautiful Fornillo Beach, it's the perfect base for active families.

For traditional charm

• Wrapped in colourful bougainvillea and overlooking the Mediterranean, Villa Rosa, Positano is full of old-world character. Rooms are bright with pastel tones, tiled floors and large private terraces where breakfast is served each morning. Families will love the spacious apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus the peaceful gardens and easy stroll into the heart of Positano.
• Perched high above Positano, Miramare rewards the climb with some of the town’s best views. The spacious apartments are the perfect base for families and groups, plus they're within walking distance of the beach. Terracotta floors and antique furnishings give it plenty of character, while breakfast beneath a glass terrace covered in bougainvillea is reason enough to stick around.
