Welcome to the Amalfi Coast!
Throughout this immersive week, you will experience a blend of the best of Sorrento, Positano, Capri, and Amalfi—four unforgettable days in Sorrento followed by three beautiful nights in Positano, exploring the coast’s food, wine, culture, and breathtaking scenery.
Our group experience will begin in Sorrento, where we will be staying at a beautiful luxury waterfront hotel with sweeping views of Mt. Vesuvius. From this incredible home base, we’ll wander the historic streets, enjoy a hands-on pizza-making class, and spend an afternoon in Pompeii with a local guide who brings the ancient ruins to life. We’ll also head out by boat to Capri—an unforgettable day on the water, with cliffside views, hidden coves, and plenty of time to soak in the island’s chic piazzas. It’s the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
Mid-week, we settle into Positano, where our gorgeous top-rated hotel is just steps from the beach and in the heart of the town’s boutiques, cafés, and seaside promenade. From here, we’ll explore Positano’s winding alleyways, visit nearby gem-like villages along the coast, and enjoy a wine and olive oil tasting in a spectacular setting that captures everything people love about this iconic destination. Evenings are relaxed and joyful—good meals, great conversations, and plenty of time to take in the atmosphere.
Every day offers a beautiful balance of guided experiences and free time to soak up the Mediterranean lifestyle at your own pace. With thoughtfully chosen hotels, stunning landscapes, meaningful excursions, and a wonderful group of women by your side, this is the Amalfi Coast the way it’s meant to be experienced—deeply, deliciously, and with memories that stay with you long after the trip ends.
