As if Capri could get any more jet-set, 2024 saw the opening of a shiny new stay from one of the world’s best hotel groups arrive on Italy’s most glamorous island. Oetker Collection (Eden Rock, Hotel du Cap) managed to take the oldest hotel there and turn it into the newest, and they claim a terrace so pretty it makes people watching the incoming day trippers a daily activity. Details nod to 1950s holiday fun – crisp whites with pops of airy blues, dancing frescoes, striped pool loungers and bougainvillaea everywhere. In line with the spoiling wonders of vacationing here, service is razor-sharp, and the team work hard so you don’t have to. From the beach club to the rooftop bar, spots for having a good time are pretty sure-fire.

With cream-swaddled four-posters and interiors as blue as the Tyrrhenian, J.K. Place Capri sits beneath Capri’s cliffs overlooking Marina Grande, with uninterrupted views over the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius from its terrace and pool. Designed by Michele Bönan to resemble an aristocratic private villa, this storied hotel has welcomed guests for nearly 150 years.
