Address
Via Correale, 15 - Sorrento

Sorrento brings to mind enchanting views over the Bay of Naples, the picturesque lanes of the historic centre, the scent of citrus and small beaches carved into the cliffs. Ara Maris is the answer to all of this: a 5-star luxury adults-only hotel (from age 10) in the heart of Sorrento, where light, contemporary design and Mediterranean nature converge.

Ara Maris is an open-air art gallery: carefully curated works inhabit every space of the hotel, turning your stay into a visual journey through contemporary design and Mediterranean creativity.

An intimate, elegant retreat

The 49 rooms and suites at Ara Maris are designed for slowing down, breathing and feeling immediately at home. Rooms offer tranquillity and comfort for a romantic escape or pure relaxation. Suites deliver luminous spaces overlooking the Gulf of Naples or the Mediterranean garden, blending comfort and contemporary design in a refined, homely atmosphere. For those seeking the ultimate, the Signature Suites represent the pinnacle of elegance, with refined details that make every moment unique.

A sensory journey at the table

Ara Maris dining comes in three distinct forms. Ristorante Cora offers a refined interpretation of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, with a menu built around seasonal ingredients, creativity and a deep connection to the territory, served in the elegant indoor dining room or in the enchanting Mediterranean garden. Cora Bistrot serves snacks, cocktails and dishes poolside in the solarium area, surrounded by greenery. Lumi Sky Lounge, shining above the Sorrento skyline, is more than a bar: an enveloping experience where handcrafted cocktails and gourmet tapas accompany every sunset from a panoramic terrace with breathtaking views over the Gulf of Naples.

Pool, Spa and Beach Club

The hotel's iconic-design pool, set in the Mediterranean garden with sun loungers, parasols and towels, is the ideal place to recharge. Thala Spa is an exclusive retreat where every treatment is tailored to personal wellbeing, with bespoke rituals and a state-of-the-art fitness centre. For those who want the sea, the hotel's Beach Club provides direct access to the coast.

Sorrento and beyond

Reception is always on hand with information on excursions to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum, visits to Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, and trips to the Gulf islands of Capri and Ischia. The hotel's golf cart provides easy access to the port, which is a steep walk on foot.

This hotel is a luxury oasis on the doorstep of the brilliant chaos of sorrento. I stayed for 6 nights with my wife and 2 boys (aged 12 and 14). Even though 12 is the youngest age that is allowed to stay here, we never once felt that we were gatecrashing an adult hotel. The pool area is relaxed and quiet but not stuffy. The pool itself is immaculate and the sun loungers the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced. The food at the hotel is 5 star. But what makes this hotel truly outstanding is the staff - from the genuinely warm welcome, to the helpful concierge and responsive, friendly bar and restaurant staff, they truly made us feel like they wanted us to have the best time possible. And the hours the staff spent with us to help with our onward travel plans, disrupted by an exploding Etna, was above and beyond. In short — stay here. It is awesome.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with the most incredible warmth and genuine hospitality. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay feel truly special. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely delicious, and our room was beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. What truly sets this hotel apart is the attention to detail and the feeling that every guest genuinely matters. We felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at home from beginning to end. A truly unforgettable stay in Sorrento at an extraordinary hotel. We cannot thank the entire team enough for making our experience so special. We will absolutely be back!

HIDDEN CHARGES!!!!

This is a modern hotel, but the rooms are surprisingly small for the price, even in the Deluxe room we booked. We paid $7,120 for four nights, including taxes, $1,781 per night. At that price, we expected a truly exceptional experience. Unfortunately, we did not get one. To be fair, the ocean view was wonderful and the breakfast was good. But those positives were overshadowed by what happened at checkout. We were charged an additional $30 per day for “hotel amenities,” despite never using the pool or sauna. When I questioned the charge, I was told by the manager that only the room was included and that amenities were charged separately. He said this was hotel policy and that, because we booked through Hotels.com, we should have checked with them beforehand. That response was particularly frustrating. At nearly $1,800 a night, being charged an extra $30 a day for amenities we never used was just frustrating and unnecessary. More importantly, when we raised a legitimate concern about the charge, management showed little interest in addressing it and instead essentially passed the responsibility to Hotels.com. For a hotel charging this kind of rate, we expected transparency, professionalism, and a much better level of customer service. Instead, we felt like we were being charged extra at every turn, which was pretty frustrating considering how much we were already paying. TIP: There are better hotels in Sorrento, including options that may cost the same or less. If you are considering this hotel, read the fine print very carefully and ask about every additional charge before booking. At this price, there are simply better choices.
