Where the Sea Meets Serenity
A 42-key cliffside sanctuary of understated Italian slow luxury, Michelin-inspired dining, and restorative Tyrrhenian sea waters.
An Intimate Clifftop Refuge Crafted for the Slow Art of Living
Perched high above the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea, The Aurélian is not merely a place to sleep — it is an invitation to slow time down. Conceived in 1967 as a private coastal villa, the property has been lovingly restored to preserve its authentic arched stone loggias, scented citrus groves, and private sea terraces.
Here, every sunrise arrives with artisanal warm brioche and espresso on your sea balcony. Days dissolve between our heated saltwater infinity pool and secluded Riva speedboat excursions, culminating in candlelit gastronomic dinners above the water at Terrazza Mare.
Signature Suites & Chambers
42 individually designed rooms featuring hand-painted Vietri tiles, private sea balconies, freestanding stone soaking tubs, and custom Frette 1,000-thread linens.

Terrazza Mare & Bar Aurelia
Suspended directly over the moonlit surf of Positano, Terrazza Mare marries wild Mediterranean seafood with heirloom produce grown right in our private terraced orchards.
Before dinner, gather at Bar Aurelia alongside our glowing honey-onyx bar counter for vintage Aperitivo, infused citrus negronis, and live Mediterranean guitar rhythms.
Restore Body & Soul Suspended 200m Above the Sea
Inherited from ancient Roman thermal traditions, Aurelia Spa harnesses the curative powers of warm volcanic basalt stones, organic estate olive oils, and wild Amalfi botanicals.
Immerse yourself in our heated saltwater infinity pool, where mineral-rich water seems to pour directly into the azure horizon, framed by fragrant lemon pergolas and private cabanas.

Chronicles from Our Guests
“The Aurélian redefined luxury for us. From the private speedboat pickup at Naples to the sunset cocktails on our Presidential Suite terrace, every single detail whispered perfection. Booking directly saved us nearly €1,200 compared to Expedia, and the complimentary suite upgrade made our 10th anniversary unforgettable.”
“I have stayed at Aman and Belmond across Europe, but The Aurélian possesses a rare, authentic warmth. Chef Adriana's handmade red prawn tagliolini on the sea terrace was the culinary highlight of our year. Waking up to the sea breeze in the Sea View Deluxe is pure poetry.”
“The cliffside infinity pool feels like you are swimming straight into the clouds. The staff anticipates every wish before you even formulate it. The direct booking perks — especially the in-suite champagne breakfast and late check-out — made the experience completely frictionless.”
“An architectural masterpiece perched on the cliffs. The preservation of the historic vaulted ceilings in the Classic Heritage room combined with ultra-modern smart comforts created the most atmospheric stay we've ever experienced in Italy.”
