The First Private Luxury Pool Club On the Amalfi Coast Just Opened—Here's a Look Inside

There's nothing quite as chic (or Instagramable) as an Italian summer filled with Aperol spritzes, colorful umbrellas, and poolside pasta and pizza. While you could find your picture-perfect moment almost anywhere along the Amalfi Coast, there's a brand-new spot for travelers seeking the most stylish, luxe experiences: La Piscina, A Caruso Pool Club.
Billed as the 'first private luxury pool club on the Amalfi Coast,' La Piscina is the latest offering from Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, a Travel + Leisure reader favorite and frequent winner in the World's Best Awards.
According to the press release, the pool club, which opened this spring, is all about embracing the Italian idea of villeggiatura, which is a prolonged, leisurely stay, and celebrating 'the endless Italian summer vacation.' Guests are encouraged to slow down, relax, and completely disconnect via private poolside cabanas, well-being programming, and an array of exclusive amenities.
The highlight of La Piscina might be the infinity pool—complete with yellow-trimmed parasols and cushioned loungers, reminiscent of the Mediterranean social scene in the 1960s—overlooking the coast and the resort town of Ravello. But every aspect of the experience is thoughtful and expertly curated. Whether you're an overnight hotel guest or a visitor (day passes are subject to availability), you'll kick off your day at the pool club with the La Piscina Essentials kit, featuring sunscreen and Amalfi lemon-infused water, plus special snacks delivered throughout the day.
Sunbeds and umbrellas are par for the course, and guests have the option to splurge for a two-person private cabana for an additional fee. And if you're in the mood to treat yourself, the extra free is worth it. You'll have the cabana all day, and it comes with sparkling wine, fresh fruit, a lunch credit, dedicated butler service, and access to other 'bespoke amenities.'
Nearly every aspect of the pool club is inspired by ozio creativo , an Italian term that roughly translates to 'creative leisure." From outdoor yoga and live music to pasta-making classes, movie nights, and tours of the hotel's Mediterranean terraced gardens, there's a whole host of club activities for those who want to take an active, immersive approach to their summer.
Although you're also welcome to park yourself by the pool all day, alternating between playing backgammon and Belmond's special edition Monopoly, and sipping on a spritz from the Caruso Grill and Pool Bar. La dolce vita at its finest.
La Piscina is open to both guests and visitors until the hotel closes for the season on Oct 26.

'No Space for Bezos,' read a banner behind her, alluding to the American magnate's space venture.

The cocktail reception was followed by an intimate dinner as part of WWD's Global Impact Council, a network of fashion, retail, beauty, luxury, design and technology leaders coming together several times a year to shape, in conversation with one another, the future of their industries.
