Italy’s Amalfi Coast needs no introduction. This World Heritage-listed European paradise is a quintessential West Mediterranean destination, and experiencing it via a luxury yacht charter is one of the best ways to get the most out of this region. The scent of citrus carries on the salty sea air and verdant woodlands colour the landscape every shade of green imaginable. Arguably, one of the best parts about an Amalfi Coast vacation is the beaches. Here’s our pick of the best beaches you’ll experience on an Amalfi Coast luxury yacht charter.
1. Gaiola Beach, Naples
Perhaps the most famous of all of Naples’ beaches, Gaiola is one of the most unique and beautiful beaches in the world.

Recline on the surrounding rocks, soak up the warmth and atmosphere, and marvel at the Island of Gaiola and its bridge that links the two small islets.
2. San Francesco Beach, Ischia
Fine golden sands and pristine blue waters are yours to discover at Spiaggia San Francesco. The beach itself is a treat, while the natural rock pools at one end of the beach are perfect for exploring.
