Amalfi Done Differently

Arrive at Naples International Airport, where a private transfer whisks you south along the coastline—passing lemon groves and dramatic sea views—before descending the winding roads to Borgo Santandrea. Alternatively, opt for a scenic arrival by boat from Positano or Amalfi, docking directly at the hotel’s beach club jetty for a cinematic welcome. However you choose to arrive, the moment you step onto the property, the pace shifts. Settle into your cliffside room, breathe in the salt-tinged air, and toast to the start of something special with a glass of prosecco on your terrace. 

Let the rest of the day unfold slowly—perhaps with a swim overlooking the bay or a light bite by the water. Spend the afternoon at Marinella Beach Club, a tranquil haven reserved exclusively for guests, where sun loungers and sparkling cocktails await. For a deeper unwind, opt for a holistic spa treatment overlooking the sea. As the sun dips low, enjoy a relaxed dinner at Marinella Restaurant where fresh, coastal flavors reflect the region’s culinary roots. 

Begin your day with breakfast on the terrace, the morning sun casting a golden glow over the sea. From there, set out by private boat arranged by your SmartFlyer travel advisor which will take you along the Amalfi Coast, first stopping in Amalfi to wander hand in hand through its cobbled streets, visit the breathtaking cathedral, and linger in artisan shops filled with local treasures. 

Continue your journey up to Ravello, where manicured gardens and endless views offer the perfect setting for a lingering lunch for two. Return home to Borgo Santandrea by mid-afternoon, just in time for a quiet moment to yourselves—perhaps a swim, perhaps simply letting time slow on your private balcony. As the sky blushes into dusk, head to Alici for a candlelit dinner, where each course is matched only by the romance of the sunset stretching out before you. 

Ease into the day with another sun-drenched breakfast on the terrace before setting off by private boat to explore two of the Amalfi Coast’s most iconic destinations. First, glide into Positano’s postcard-perfect harbor, where pastel-hued buildings cling to the cliffs and the streets buzz with boutiques, cafés, and charm. 

Then it’s on to Capri, cruising past the legendary Faraglioni rocks before diving into crystalline waters for a swim that feels straight out of a dream. For lunch, choose between a chic beach club on the island or a quiet, seaside picnic thoughtfully packed by Borgo’s culinary team. As the sun begins to dip, anchor in a hidden bay for a candlelit dinner on the water, toasting the golden hour with a glass of local Falanghina before returning to the hotel under a blanket of stars. 

A day spent unwinding at Borgo Santandrea is a masterclass in the art of slow living. Morning begins with a cappuccino overlooking the sea, where the only thing more mesmerizing than the view is the scent of lemon blossoms drifting from the cliffside gardens. By midday, you’re lounging poolside with a book in hand—though chances are you’ll be too enchanted by the ever-changing shades of the Tyrrhenian to turn a single page. 

Lunch calls for handmade pasta and a chilled glass of Falanghina at the Beach Club, just steps from the water. Afternoons melt into golden hour with a spritz in hand, perched above the coast as boats bob in and out of Conca dei Marini. There’s no rush here, just an unspoken understanding that life is best enjoyed when you let it unfold slowly. 

Savor a slow start to your final day with a late breakfast and one more swim in the sea—or perhaps a final spa treatment that lets the moment linger just a little longer. Before you depart, enjoy a bite of coastal comfort in its purest form: a wood-fired Neapolitan pizza served at the hotel’s casual eatery, best paired with one last limoncello spritz. Whether you choose to soak in the sun at the beach club or steal away for a brief boat ride along the coast, there’s still time to let the magic of the Amalfi Coast imprint itself one last time. This day isn’t about rushing—it’s a gentle farewell, designed to leave you with the lasting feeling of a journey defined by intention, intimacy, and incomparable views. 

With an early departure ahead, wake to one final sunrise over the sea and enjoy a light breakfast on your terrace or in the dining room. Your bags will be collected and your private transfer—arranged by your SmartFlyer travel advisor—will be waiting to escort you to Naples International Airport. Whether by scenic drive along the coastline or by private boat followed by a car transfer, the journey home is seamless and thoughtfully coordinated. Though your time at Borgo Santandrea may be coming to a close, the memories of sun-soaked days, cliffside views, and coastal charm are yours to keep—until next time.
