Overview

 
Perched high on the cliffs above Positano, Le Agavi is a classic Amalfi Coast hideaway where every turn reveals another dazzling sea view. Think cascading terraces draped in bougainvillea, an infinity-style pool hovering over the bay, and an exclusive beach club reached by cliffside lift. With just 55 elegant rooms and suites, refined Mediterranean dining and a soothing spa, this is a boutique choice for travellers who want the full Positano drama without compromising on calm.

From sunrise light over the Lattari Mountains to the twinkle of Positano at night, Le Agavi makes the Amalfi Coast feel like your private stage. Terraced rooms and suites face the sea, the pool clings to the cliff edge, and a private beach deck at the waterline completes the top-to-toe coastal experience. For couples seeking Sorrento Area’s dramatic Amalfi Coast charm, Le Agavi delivers the perfect balance of Riviera glamour and relaxed boutique luxury. It’s around 2 hours 30 minutes from Naples Airport by coastal road transfers. See more Italy holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Terraced into the rock, the hotel\u2019s outdoor pool feels like a natural extension of the coastline, with loungers and parasols positioned to make the most of the sweeping sea vistas. It\u2019s a peaceful space to alternate between sunbathing, a cooling dip and simply watching the boats drift across Positano Bay.

One of Le Agavi\u2019s standout features is its private beach deck. Reached by a lift and a short path directly from the hotel, this secluded area offers direct access to the sea, space to stretch out on sunbeds, and an intimate vantage point right at the water\u2019s edge \u2013 a rare luxury on this dramatic stretch of coastline.

Please note: the private beach deck is typically available from 15 May to 15 October, weather and sea conditions permitting, and local charges or reservations may apply for certain services.

Spa, sports & wellness


The spa at Le Agavi is designed as a tranquil retreat where you can decompress after a day on the coastal roads. Expect a curated menu of massages and beauty treatments that draw on Mediterranean ingredients and aromatherapy, with treatment rooms that embrace the calming sea views where possible.

This is very much a slow-living, relaxation-focused property rather than a full-on sports resort. Leisure facilities typically include:

• Spa and wellness treatments*
• Outdoor pool with sun terrace
• Private beach deck with loungers and sea access*
• Lounge areas and panoramic terraces for reading and relaxing

Due to the stepped hillside setting, the property is not suited to running or cycling on-site, but boat trips, coastal hikes and excursions along the Amalfi Coast can be arranged locally.

*Some facilities and services may incur a local charge and operate seasonally.

Food & drink

Le Agavi leans into the Amalfi Coast\u2019s culinary heritage with Mediterranean menus built around ultra-fresh local produce and seafood. Expect sun-drenched terraces, candlelit dinners and a strong wine list showcasing Campania\u2019s vineyards.

Start the day with a generous buffet breakfast, usually including freshly baked pastries, Italian cured meats and cheeses, seasonal fruit and made-to-order coffee with sea views as standard. For lunch and dinner, à la carte restaurants focus on regional pasta dishes, line-caught fish, grilled meats and creative desserts.

A stylish bar and lounge complete the picture, ideal for pre-dinner aperitivi or a nightcap overlooking Positano\u2019s glittering lights. Dress codes are smart-casual in the evenings, and reservations may be recommended in high season.
