Hotel La Palma Capri. Capri’s first hotel, built-in 1822, is currently being transformed into an elegant and exclusive 50-room-and-suite hotel. Located mere steps from the famous Piazzetta, it will comprise a rooftop restaurant and bar, its own beach club, a newly built pool deck, a spa, and high-fashion boutiques.

And, let’s talk about the Beach Club: A short drive to Capri’s southern coast, guests will discover Hotel La Palma’s elegant yet buzzing La Palma Beach Club in the Marina Piccola, home to the island’s most famous beaches and restaurants.

This will be the place where fabulous people come and go to watch sun-drenched days flow into glittering twilight evenings. Open to non-hotel guests, visitors will come from yachts, and neighboring hotels as La Palma Beach Club becomes the meeting place of choice on the island for long, lazy lunches created by Gennaro Esposito and sunset cocktails.

By day, it will be a playground for the great and the good, and by night, home to carefree indulgence and the place to rendezvous and soak in Capri’s animated social scene.
