La Piscina: Amalfi's Most Exclusive Pool Club Opens at Caruso, A Belmond Hotel
A sun-soaked sanctuary of design, wellness and dolce far niente on the Amalfi Coast
A new chapter in Mediterranean luxury has arrived with the launch of La Piscina, A Caruso Pool Club—the Amalfi Coast's first private luxury pool destination. Nestled within the historic grounds of Caruso, A Belmond Hotel in Ravello, La Piscina promises a refined escape that blends contemporary design with the charm of an 11th-century palace. The newly restyled infinity pool overlooks sweeping views of the coastline, while modern architectural elements meet original features in a seamless, sun-drenched sanctuary. Designed as more than just a place to swim, La Piscina unfolds as a curated journey through leisure, wellness, cuisine, and creativity.
At the heart of La Piscina lies the concept of ozio creativo—the Italian art of mindful relaxation. Each day begins with sunrise yoga or 'sight-jogging' along Ravello's storied paths and transitions into immersive workshops like pasta-making, painting, and garden walks. As golden hour sets in, guests can unwind with cocktails by the water, take boat rides along the cliffs, or join astronomy sessions and cinema nights perched above the sea. Whether soaking up the sun or savoring moonlit swims, La Piscina celebrates the joy of doing everything—or nothing—with intention and beauty.
The experience is elevated with exclusive touches like the La Piscina Essentials kit, which includes Amalfi lemon water, premium sunscreen, and foodie surprises throughout the day. Guests can play Belmond's custom-designed Monopoly or unwind with a classic game of backgammon between dips. For those seeking ultimate seclusion, two newly introduced private cabanas evoke La Dolce Vita, complete with panoramic views of Scala and the Dragon Valley, a welcome glass of local sparkling wine, spa rituals, a dining credit, and dedicated butler service—an indulgent day experience for in-house guests or visitors alike.
Gastronomy is central to La Piscina's identity, with Executive Chef Armando Aristarco spotlighting local produce from the Amalfi and Cilento coasts. The poolside Caruso Grill champions La Dieta Mediterranea, offering a balance of tradition and wellness through dishes that are fresh, flavourful, and seasonally led. Guests can join complimentary cooking classes or attend signature Ditirambo nights—festive evenings hosted by Cilento producers with live music and dancing that bring regional culture and cuisine to life.
Tying it all together is a deep respect for Campanian heritage. Artisanal accents, like hand-painted textiles from the iconic Livio de Simone studio, breathe vibrancy into the décor, with bold, retro patterns adorning everything from ceramic décor to sun loungers. This creative spirit pays homage to the Mediterranean's rich artistic legacy, grounding La Piscina in a sense of place that is both timeless and entirely new. Open until October 26, La Piscina is now welcoming guests and visitors alike into a realm where luxury and leisure flow as freely as the coastal breeze.

Black Book: Celine drops scent of the summer and Bvlgari revisit a watch classic
From new fragrances to summer-chic bags, The National 's Luxury magazine team rounds up the most interesting and noteworthy arrivals in the world of fashion, interiors, fragrance and jewellery. Un Été Français parfum by Celine Celine's new Un Eté Français (A French Summer) fragrance, created by former creative director Hedi Slimane, draws inspiration from long, languid summers in a beach house in Ramatuelle on the French Mediterranean. The latest addition to the brand's Haute Parfumerie collection opens with spicy bergamot and earthy petit-grain, softening into zesty neroli and gorse – a wild coastal flower with a citrus-coconut scent. A warm vanilla base evokes the essence of a French holiday in a bottle. Un Été Français perfume, Dh1,200 for 100ml Rafiafiori by Dolce & Gabbana Dolce & Gabbana nods to a cooler, more laid-back style for summer for 2025. Ditching corsetry and black lace, the Italian masters of Sicilian vamp embrace skinny knit stripes and easy raffia accessories. A pompom raffia tote, hand-cut raffia necklace and cat-eye sunglasses wrapped in Madagascan palm leaf complete the nature-led look with breezy, effortless cool. Raffia tote bag, Dh5,200, Dolce & Gabbana Grain de Café y Cartier A reimagining of Jeanne Toussaint's 1938 motif, Cartier's Grain de Cafe – literally coffee bean – continues to charm. The latest bold, sculptural pieces echo the 1930s origin story while nodding to the glamour of 1950s cocktail jewellery. A standout limited-edition bracelet is crafted around a platinum and diamond spine, with 14 variegated gold beans on either side, each tipped with a white diamond. Meticulously made, each bracelet takes 54 hours to complete. Limited-edition Grain de Café bracelet, price upon request Maison Dioriviera by Dior The Dior universe has expanded to include new homeware pieces inspired by the brand's former womenswear head Maria Grazia Chiuri 's Dioriviera collection. Rooted in travel and reinvention, the storied motifs have been translated into elegant interiors by Dior Maison. The Toile de Jouy Palms print, already seen on bags and ready-to-wear, now adorns a rounded vase crafted by enamelling specialists, Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy. Meanwhile, the signature cannage weave steps off handbags and on to a sleek side table, set in Perspex, and a beach mat ready for stylish escapes. Bvlgari Bvlgari watch turns 50 To mark the 50th anniversary of perhaps its best-known watch, the Bvlgari Bvlgari, the Italian house has unveiled four new variations. Launched in 1975 and reimagined by master watch designer Gérald Genta in 1977, the design remains true to its Roman roots, featuring a signature engraved bezel and minimalist dial. Offered in two sizes – 26mm and 38mm – each features a unique marble dial. The smaller version houses a Solotempo automatic movement, while the larger is powered by the calibre BVL 191.
