A Mediterranean dream in the heart of Sorrento

  1. Lumi Sky Lounge: handcrafted cocktails and tapas with views over the Gulf of Naples

  2. Ristorante Cora with contemporary Mediterranean cuisine

  3. Thala Spa and an iconic pool in the heart of the historic centre

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.

Hotel location was fantastic. This is a beautiful venue and worthy of consideration when planning a trip to Sorento. The roof top at sunset is a must see. All of the staff are very friendly and professional. The Ava Maris offers a luxurious stay with a great location.

Five Star all the way: our go-to hotel anytime we return to Sorrento.

An exceptional experience from the location, to the hotel, to the staff, to the incredible views. Everything was truly top-notch. What stood out most was the staff—and I mean everyone we encountered. They were warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. There is a clear focus throughout the hotel on making guests feel special and exceptionally well cared for. The hotel itself is modern, beautifully designed, immaculate, and extremely comfortable, while still feeling stylish and sophisticated. The art, décor, and overall attention to detail are very well done. The location is also hard to beat. It is just a two-minute walk to the center of Sorrento and only a few minutes more to the marina. The rooftop bar is elegant and relaxing, with great cocktails and light bites, along with stunning views of Mount Vesuvius and the Mediterranean. We have stayed at several of the other top hotels in the area, and Ara Maris Sorrento has absolutely earned a place at the top of our list. It delivers a true five-star experience with wonderful people, beautiful surroundings, spectacular views, and an unbeatable location. Ara Maris will now be our go-to hotel anytime we return to Sorrento.
