The opening date of the Ara Maris hotel, an exclusive 5-star luxury hotel set in the heart of the Sorrento Peninsula, is set for 23rd April 2024.

The furnishings and common areas blend with the spectacular landscape that makes Sorrento a popular destination for international tourism, while the location makes the Ara Maris an oasis of tranquillity and well-being. From the large relaxation area with swimming pool and solarium, surrounded by greenery, to the activities offered along the coast and the nearby islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, every moment spent at Ara Maris is an opportunity to reconnect with oneself and the surrounding beauty.
With 49 brightly coloured rooms and suites and contemporary furnishings, the Ara Maris offers a refined luxury experience with a range of services: from the gastronomic delights offered in the Cora Bistrot to the artisanal cocktails served in the Lumi Sky Lounge and the rejuvenating treatments in the Thala Spa.
