Jumeirah Capri Palace sits in Anacapri at the higher end of the island of Capri, the white-washed hotel that has anchored Capri luxury since the 1970s. The 68 rooms and suites span the main hotel and the celebrated Capri Palace Suites, with original art across the property forming the famous Capri Palace Art Collection (over 1,500 works including Mitoraj, Botero and Capogrossi).
The Capri Beach Club at Il Riccio, the Michelin-starred beach restaurant, sits down at the water’s edge on the coast below. Capri Medical Spa anchors the wellness side, with the famous Leg School treatment programme that has drawn long-stay European clientele since the 1980s. The hotel sits a short walk from Villa San Michele, the Axel Munthe house with the famous views, and the chairlift to Monte Solaro at 589m, the highest point on Capri. The Faraglioni rock formations are reached by the resort’s boat charter.
Capri itself is a 15-minute drive from Anacapri’s centre. This is Capri at altitude and away from the busier Piazzetta, with the Capri Palace Art Collection, Michelin-starred beach dining and the leg-spa programme as the headline experiences. It rewards a slower stay across both the higher Anacapri and the harbour-side Capri.
