The Amalfi Coast looks simple on a map, but it takes planning to get it right. Distances are short. Travel time isn’t.
Start with your base. Most people choose Positano, Amalfi, or Ravello. Positano is the busiest and easiest for restaurants and boats. Amalfi is central and practical for moving around. Ravello is quieter and set above the coast. Pick one and stay there. Moving between hotels costs time.
Timing changes the experience. May, June, and September are easier. July and August come with higher prices, packed roads, and limited availability. If you’re going in peak season, book early.
Getting in is straightforward. Fly into Naples and arrange a private transfer to your hotel. It’s the simplest option with luggage. Ferries and trains work, but they add steps.
Getting around is where most people lose time. Roads are narrow and traffic builds quickly. Parking is limited. Ferries are often the easiest way between towns during the day. For anything structured, use a driver or book boats in advance.
Book the key parts early. Restaurants with views, beach clubs, and boat days fill up first. Leaving this late limits your options.
Plan your days with space. One main plan per day is enough. Add a boat day. Leave time to adjust.
For groups, villas give you privacy. Hotels are easier if you want service and a central location.
BNJ Luxury handles the setup. Accommodation, transfers from Naples, drivers, boat days, and reservations are arranged around your schedule.
Keep it simple and book early.
