Emperors, film stars and lemon-scented cliffs. Glamorous Piazzetta evenings, glowing sea caves and the Faraglioni rising straight from the water. Every link takes you straight to Trip.com to check live prices and book.

🏨 Where to Stay

• Grand Hotel Quisisana ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — the island legend since 1845, right in the heart of Capri town at the top of Via Camerelle and steps from the Piazzetta. Two pools, the medical spa, and the famous piano-bar terrace where the whole island parades past at aperitivo.
• Hotel Punta Tragara ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — arguably the best view on Capri, perched directly over the Faraglioni. Designed by Le Corbusier, with two heated seawater pools, a Small Luxury Hotels member and the Michelin-recognised Le Monzù for dinner with a view.
• Capri Palace Jumeirah ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — up in peaceful Anacapri, part art gallery (the "White Museum"), part Leading Hotels of the World retreat. Two-Michelin-star L'Olivo, a celebrated medical spa, and its own Il Riccio beach club by the Blue Grotto.
• J.K. Place Capri ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — a 22-room beachfront design jewel above Marina Grande, styled like a private seaside villa. Leading Hotels of the World, with a sea-view pool, spa and the lovely JKitchen terrace looking out over the Bay of Naples.
• Hotel Villa Sarah ⭐⭐⭐⭐ — attainable pick — a quiet, family-run retreat on the ancient road to Villa Jovis, with its own small vineyard and a genuinely warm welcome, just a short walk from the bustling Piazzetta — real Capri charm at a fraction of the icon-hotel rates.

✈️ Flights

• Flights to Naples (NAP) — Capri has no airport, so fly into Naples (around 3 hours direct from Manchester), then it's a short hydrofoil from Naples or Sorrento across to the island.

🎟️ Experiences

• Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) Tickets — Capri's iconic sea cave, where sunlight through an underwater opening turns the whole cavern electric blue. Best reached first thing in the morning by small rowboat; it closes in rough seas, so pick a calm day.
• Monte Solaro Chair Lift — a dreamy 13-minute single-seat chairlift from Piazza Vittoria in Anacapri to the island's highest point, gliding over lemon groves and gardens to a 360° panorama of the Faraglioni, the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius.
• Gardens of Augustus Tickets — flower-decked terraces just minutes from the Piazzetta, with the classic postcard view straight down onto the Faraglioni and the hairpin bends of Via Krupp.

🚗 Car Hire & Transfers

• Car Hire — Naples & the mainland — Capri itself is best explored on foot, by open-top taxi and the Anacapri chairlift, so save the hire car for the mainland if you're pairing the island with the Amalfi Coast.
• Private Transfers — Naples Airport to the port — fixed-price, door-to-door from Naples airport to the ferry terminal at Molo Beverello, so you can roll straight from the plane onto the boat to Capri.
