Amalfi Awakens: Sailing into the Mediterranean Summer — A private yacht drifts beneath Amalfi’s golden cliffs — where summer begins in quiet elegance and Mediterranean waters sparkle in every direction.

🍋 La Dolce Vita in Full Bloom

Early June on Italy’s Amalfi Coast is where the world’s elite quietly mark the beginning of summer. Before the crush of July, this stretch of coastline becomes a sanctuary of understated glamour — with Positano’s cascading pastel homes, Ravello’s open-air concerts, and Capri’s moonlit dinners setting the tone.

Limoncello flows freely, infinity pools shimmer over cliffside terraces, and the Tyrrhenian Sea begins to buzz with private yachts and classic Rivas.

🛥️ Yachting Season Sets Sail

The start of June marks the unofficial kickoff to superyacht season in the Mediterranean. Charter companies across Capri, Amalfi, and Sorrento are fully booked, as crews prepare to host high-profile guests for week-long luxury voyages.

Expect to see yachts anchored off Marina Piccola, tenders ferrying guests to Michelin-starred lunches, and deck parties hosted beneath Italian sunsets.

🎶 Music in the Mountains: Ravello’s Cultural Prelude

While the famed Ravello Festival launches fully in July, early June offers preview events — intimate classical performances hosted in villas with cascading views of the coastline.

It’s a moment of calm — with violins echoing through garden courtyards, framed by lemon groves and sea breeze.

🥂 Capri Days, Positano Nights

The real magic of the Amalfi Coast is the seamless blend of adventure and relaxation:

Spend your days: exploring sea caves by boat, lounging at beach clubs like La Fontelina, or sipping espresso in Atrani.
Spend your nights: dining on fresh catch in Nerano, dancing barefoot under the stars at Music on the Rocks, or just watching moonlight ripple across the water from your balcony in Praiano.

🌍 Jet Set Tip:

Fly into Naples, then travel by private car or ferry to Sorrento or Positano. Or arrive in true jet-set fashion — helicopter transfer from Rome or Capri, directly to your villa.

🗓️ Why This Week?

Because it’s before the world arrives.
Early June offers perfect weather, prime reservations, and just the right amount of buzz.
It’s the sweet spot — where luxury meets serenity.
