Beach Front Hotels in Positano
Looking for Positano hotels on the beach? The following hotels and apartments are located right on the main beach of Positano – the Spiaggia Grande – or the slightly smaller Fornillo beach.
I’ve also listed a few hotels below that have their own private beach. Click on the review links for more in-depth review of each hotel.
Covo Dei Saraceni
[ Full Review ]
The only 5 star hotel located directly on the main beach of Positano, the Covo Dei Saraceni is steps from the beach, the pedestrian shopping area and the ferry boats that take you to Capri, Ishchia, Sorrento and more. With its own pool and sundeck up on the 5th floor you can kick back and enjoy the views from a more secluded, private area as well.
Another bonus is that this hotel tends to be more affordable than some other 5 stars – and because it’s one of the larger hotels, it’s also easier to get into last minute.

Hotel Pupetto
[ Full Review ]
The Hotel Pupettoroom charming hotel that is one of the most affordable hotels on the beach.
It’s actually on the more secluded Fornillo beach – not the main Spiaggia Grande. However it’s still within easy walking access to the shopping area, the main beach and the ferries to Capri.

La Caravella
[ Full Review ]
La Caravella is a series of apartments located on the beach-front area of the main beach in Positano. It’s more affordable than the beach-front hotels – and can give you a bit more flexibility in terms of space and food since they include separate lounge areas and kitchens/kitchenettes.
One thing to know about this place is that it does not work like a standard hotel. There is no check-in/reception area. You have to call ahead to the owner when you’re almost there and she will meet you to help you check in and arrange your stay.
