Fontelina, Capri, Italy - Paradise on earth

"If there's a sea in Paradise, it will be exactly like the sea caressing Fontelina's beach..."

How would you spend the perfect day on the island of Capri? Swimming beneath the Faraglioni, soaking up the summer sun on a comfy beach lounger, eating freshly caught pezzogna in the shade of a pretty pergola, drinking a glass of sangria whilst the sun begins to set...


There's a place in Capri where you can do all this: the Fontelina beach club.

  • Open daily
    from April 19 to October 12, 2025.
  • Reservations

Location

Fontelina is situated opposite Capri's Faraglioni. You can reach the beach club on foot, via the little path which commences next to the Tragara viewing point. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes: the path winds its way down to the sea through the myrtle and broom bushes for a good 300 meters.

If you'd rather not make the uphill return journey on foot, you can take the beach club's shuttle boat to Marina Piccola and from there take a bus or taxi to the Piazzetta, instead.
