La Piscina, A Caruso Pool Club, has officially debuted as the Amalfi Coast’s first private luxury pool club, setting a new standard for refined leisure in one of Italy’s most breathtaking destinations.
Perched at Caruso, A Belmond Hotel in Ravello, this newly transformed space merges centuries-old palatial elegance with sleek contemporary design.
With a stunning restyled infinity pool, sweeping views of the coastline, and an atmosphere steeped in serenity, La Piscina invites guests to indulge in a full day-to-night experience built around Italy’s cherished tradition of villeggiatura—the slow, sensual art of vacationing.

Programming at La Piscina is crafted around the concept of ozio creativo, a lifestyle rooted in mindful relaxation and artistic inspiration. Mornings begin with yoga or guided sight-jogging around Ravello’s cliffs, followed by hands-on cultural activities like painting or making limoncello.
Afternoons flow into sunbathing by the pool with cocktails in hand or sailing excursions to nearby coves. As night falls, guests can enjoy astronomy sessions, outdoor cinema screenings, or even moonlit swims under the stars.
On arrival, each guest receives a custom Essentials Kit, complete with Amalfi lemon water, sunscreen, curated snacks, and Belmond’s signature touches.
Elevating exclusivity, La Piscina introduces two all-day private cabanas for up to two guests, offering dramatic views of the Dragon Valley and historic Scala village. These luxe sanctuaries include personal butler service, a welcome glass of sparkling wine, spa access, and credits for poolside dining.
Culinary experiences are just as central. Under Executive Chef Armando Aristarco, the menus pay homage to La Dieta Mediterranea, featuring locally sourced ingredients from the Amalfi and Cilento coasts.
Complimentary cooking classes spotlight regional classics like pizza and pasta, while the Caruso Grill plays host to Ditirambo nights—festive celebrations with local producers, live music, and immersive tastings. Bartending nights with midnight spaghettata gatherings add a touch of Campanian conviviality.
Completing the sensory experience, La Piscina showcases artisanal craftsmanship through a collaboration with Livio de Simone’s famed design studio. Bold hand-painted fabrics and bespoke ceramics infuse the club’s Mediterranean palette with playful sophistication, nodding to the glamour of 1960s coastal life.
La Piscina is more than a pool club—it’s an ode to timeless Italian elegance, transformed into a sanctuary of indulgence and creativity suspended between sea and sky.
