Amalfi Coast Holidays 2026

The Amalfi Coast stretches for roughly 50 kilometres between Positano and Vietri sul Mare, with about a dozen villages clinging to the cliffside in between. For most British holidaymakers, the practical question is where to base yourself. Positano is the most glamorous — and most expensive — village, ideal for a first visit or a special occasion. Amalfi town is the most practical, with ferry connections to Positano and Capri and a central position on the coast. Sorrento, just off the western end of the coast, is the most affordable base with the best transport links, including a direct train to Naples. Browse all our Amalfi Coast accommodation to compare villages and prices.

Accommodation ranges from self-catering holiday apartments and villas to bed and breakfasts run by local families. BlueKeys specialises in private holiday homes — properties where you have the run of the place, with no shared spaces and no hotel rules. Most of our properties include air conditioning, fully equipped kitchens, good Wi-Fi and a terrace or balcony with sea views. Prices start from around €80 per night for a one-bedroom apartment in a quieter village like Praiano or Maiori, rising to €300 or more for a seafront villa in Positano in July or August. Explore our Positano holiday homes or Sorrento holiday apartments for specific options.

Getting to the Amalfi Coast from the UK is straightforward. Most British visitors fly into Naples Capodichino Airport, which has direct routes from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester and Bristol. From the airport to Positano or Amalfi, a private transfer takes roughly 90 minutes and costs around €130–€180 for up to four passengers. BlueKeys arranges private airport transfers with meet-and-greet service, luggage assistance and free flight tracking — so if your EasyJet or Ryanair flight is delayed, your driver is updated automatically.

No Amalfi Coast holiday is complete without at least one day on the water. A private boat charter lets you explore hidden sea caves, anchor for lunch at a waterfront restaurant in Nerano and swim in turquoise water that has no comparison in northern Europe. Group boat tours from around €65 per person are also available if you prefer to share the experience. Capri day trips from Sorrento are the most popular excursion — the island is 40 minutes by sea and a world of difference from the mainland.

The best time for an Amalfi Coast holiday from the UK is late May, June or September. In these months the weather is reliably warm (24–28°C), the sea is perfect for swimming, all restaurants and attractions are open, and the coast is noticeably less crowded than in July and August. Flights and accommodation are also 20–30% cheaper than peak. Half-term in October is increasingly popular for families — the crowds have gone, the water is still warm enough for swimming, and the lemon and grape harvests give the villages a wonderful seasonal energy.

BlueKeys offers a local concierge service throughout your stay. Need a table at the best restaurant in Ravello with two days' notice? A babysitter for an evening? A sunrise boat trip? Our team in Sorrento handles all of it. We are reachable by WhatsApp seven days a week and respond within the hour during business hours. Most of our British guests tell us that the concierge service — the feeling of having a knowledgeable friend on the ground — is what makes BlueKeys different from a standard booking platform.
