La Fontelina
Perhaps the most iconic beach club in Capri, La Fontelina sits at the base of the island's dramatic cliffs with front-row views of the Faraglioni rock formations. The famous blue-and-white striped umbrellas have become synonymous with Capri itself.
Arrive early, reserve well in advance, and plan to stay for lunch. Fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and a glass of chilled white wine are all part of the experience.

Just around the corner from La Fontelina, Da Luigi offers a slightly more relaxed atmosphere while sharing the same breathtaking coastline. It's the perfect place to spend an entire afternoon swimming, sunbathing, and soaking in Capri's spectacular scenery.
Bagni Tiberio

Accessible by boat or a scenic walk from Marina Grande, Bagni Tiberio offers a more authentic side of Capri. Named after Emperor Tiberius, who is said to have swum in these waters centuries ago, this beach club combines crystal-clear water with a laid-back atmosphere and exceptional seafood. It's a favorite for travelers looking to experience Capri beyond the island's most photographed spots.
Lido del Faro

Located on the western side of the island in Anacapri, Lido del Faro is one of Capri's best-kept secrets. Built into the rocky coastline beside the Punta Carena Lighthouse, it's famous for its crystal-clear water, dramatic sunsets, and relaxed atmosphere. Instead of a sandy beach, you'll find sunbeds perched on natural rock terraces with ladders leading directly into the sea. Spend the afternoon swimming, enjoying fresh seafood, and watching the sun dip into the Mediterranean—it's a completely different experience from the bustling eastern side of the island.
What Makes Capri Different
Unlike many beach destinations, Capri isn't about loud music or oversized resorts. Its beach clubs feel intimate, elegant, and effortlessly sophisticated. The focus is on exceptional food, beautiful scenery, leisurely afternoons, and enjoying the sea.
Bring a swimsuit, a great book, and don't rush your schedule. Some of the best moments in Capri happen between swims, over long lunches, and while watching boats drift across the turquoise water.
Because in Capri, the beach club isn't just where you spend the day—it's where you experience the island at its best.
