Borgo Santandrea
Amalfi Coast, Italy

Perched high above the Mediterranean between Amalfi and Positano, Borgo Santandrea was born from the vision of two Italian families with generations of hospitality expertise. This former 1960s retreat has been lovingly transformed over four years into an extraordinary sanctuary. This is where Mid-Century design meets Mediterranean elegance, on the extraordinary location of Conca dei Marini, a serene, picturesque area offering a peaceful escape from its elevated position on the Amalfi Coast.

From the moment guests arrive, they will feel less like a guest in a hotel and more like a resident of an iconic Italian villa. Every detail tells a story: original Mid-Century pieces from the owners’ private collection, bespoke furniture crafted by Italy’s finest artisans, hand-painted ceramic tiles inspired by Italian modernism and lush gardens designed in harmony with the Amalfi Coast’s breathtaking terraces.

Rising 90 meters above sea level, Borgo Santandrea offers panoramic views from every angle. To make this vertical paradise effortless to explore, the resort is equipped with eight elevators, carrying guests smoothly from the sunlit terraces down to the private beach at the base of the cliff. Whether guests may be relaxing by the hotel’s expansive pool, enjoying an aperitivo on a panoramic terrace, or strolling along the shore, the sea is always their gorgeous backdrop.

Borgo Santandrea is one of the very few properties on the Amalfi Coast to boast its own private beach, reserved exclusively for the hotel’s guests. Immaculate gardens and terraces with olive groves, lemon trees and aromatic plants create a dreamlike pathway connecting the hotel with the beach.

Located at the base of the cliff, this secluded haven can be reached either by a leisurely walk through the terraced gardens or by elevator directly from the hotel. Here, the Beach Club welcomes guests with every comfort, including sunbeds, umbrellas, towels, and a selection of water sports. The Beach Bar and Restaurant ensure that refreshments, light meals, and Mediterranean specialties are always within easy reach, while the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean provide the perfect setting for relaxation and recreation.

Borgo Santandrea is a place where timeless Italian style, natural beauty, and heartfelt hospitality come together. A villa by the sea, reimagined for today’s most discerning travellers, featuring 29 refined rooms and 16 sumptuous suites, each with uninterrupted sea views. Italian marble bathrooms, elegant hand-crafted furnishings, and private terraces create spaces that are both intimate and spectacular.

A culinary journey awaits at Borgo Santandrea, guided by accomplished chefs. The freshest flavours of the coast are offered at the hotel’s three restaurants: Alici, the Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant, Marinella Restaurant, offering a chic yet relaxed atmosphere and The Beach Restaurant & Bar, perfect for informal seaside dining. Every dish reflects a deep respect for local ingredients, many sourced from nearby growers and producers.

Borgo Santandrea Wellness Retreat is a retreat designed for mind and body in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. Guests are invited to rejuvenate in the spa, unwind with a massage, enjoying a range of treatments carried out by a highly qualified team of therapists, as well as beauty services and yoga sessions on the outdoor terrace. The spacious gym overlooks the sea and is equipped with the latest Technogym weight machines and cardio equipment as well as free weights and the latest gym gadgets. There is an outdoor terrace that can be used at guests’ leisure, overlooking the fisherman village of Conca dei Marini.

Borgo Santandrea is a showcase of Italian artistry and craftsmanship. From custom-made lighting and fabrics to vintage furniture and sculptures, every corner celebrates the timeless elegance of Italian design. Many gifted craftsmen and artists, most of them from the Amalfi Coast, drawing on centuries-old traditions, have spent years working on site to make Borgo Santandrea a true “Made in Italy” masterpiece.

Respect for the land is at the heart of Borgo Santandrea. The restoration incorporated cutting-edge energy-saving technologies, waste reduction systems, and electric mobility solutions. The hotel’s kitchens emphasize locally sourced produce, supporting nearby growers and reducing our environmental impact.
