Groups

The Amalfi Coast looks different from the sea. The villages stacked against the cliffs, the colours, the scale of the landscape, none of it is fully visible from the road. The best view of one of Europe’s most beautiful coastlines is the one you get arriving by boat.

Hotel Olimpico sits 30 minutes from Salerno port by free shuttle. From the port, a ferry reaches Amalfi in 30 minutes and Positano in under two hours. Or, for groups who want something more memorable, the hotel can arrange a private boat excursion with a professional skipper — a full day along the coast, stopping where you choose, seeing it the way it was meant to be seen.

This is the practical advantage of staying at Hotel Olimpico: the Amalfi Coast is not a compromise from here. It is a departure point.

The Premium Option: Three Apartments, One Private Pool 

For three families or groups of friends travelling together

The most exclusive way to stay at Hotel Olimpico as a group is to book all three Pool Villa apartments (Amalfi, Positano and Capri) together. Each is a self-contained flat with a private entrance, a master bedroom, a living room with sofa beds and a fully equipped kitchenette. Together they sleep up to fifteen guests across three independent units.

What makes this option exceptional is the pool. The three apartments share a dedicated outdoor pool reserved exclusively for their guests — no other hotel visitors, no main pool crowds. In practice, it functions as a private pool for your group: a secluded garden setting, complete independence, and the full services of a 4-star hotel available whenever you want them.

This is the closest thing to a private villa rental on the Amalfi Coast without the villa price tag, and with a restaurant, a beach and a concierge service on site.

On the days the group wants to explore, the shuttle to Salerno port is free. From there, a private boat with skipper turns the journey into the experience itself, the coast seen from the water, at your own pace, with stops in the bays and coves that are only reachable by sea. It is the kind of day that stays with a group long after the holiday is over.

Each apartment maintains its own private outdoor area within the garden, so there is shared space when the group wants it and privacy when they do not. Cleaning is included once a week; additional days are available at €30 per apartment.

Families Travelling Together

For extended families needing flexible room combinations

Hotel Olimpico is well suited to multi-generational family travel — grandparents, parents and children sharing the same holiday without being on top of each other. The hotel offers family rooms sleeping up to four, interconnecting rooms available on request, and a range of room categories that can be combined to suit different needs within the same group.

Children up to 2 years stay free. Cots are available on request. The main infinity pool has a dedicated children’s area, and the private sandy beach (calm, flat and supervised by a qualified lifeguard from June to September) is a short walk from the hotel entrance.

For the days spent on the coast, the ferry from Salerno port is the right choice for families with children. Arriving in Amalfi or Positano by sea rather than by road means no car sickness on the bends, no parking to find and no time spent in traffic — just the boat, the water and the coastline appearing slowly as you approach. It is a genuinely better experience, and children remember it.

Breakfast is a buffet with homemade products and local specialities every morning. The restaurant offers a children’s menu for evening meals, so the adults can eat well without compromising.

Groups of Friends

For travellers who want quality without a fixed itinerary

A group of friends sharing a hotel works best when the logistics are simple and the shared spaces are genuinely good. At Hotel Olimpico, the 25-metre infinity pool, the private beach, the poolside bar and the Mediterranean restaurant take care of the days when the group wants to stay put.

For the days when they do not, the free shuttle to Salerno port opens up the entire coast. The ferry is the easiest option: fast, scenic and surprisingly affordable. But for a group that wants a day to talk about for years, a private boat excursion with a professional skipper is the answer. You leave from Salerno port, you follow the coastline south, you stop in a bay off Positano or anchor near Capri for a swim. The coast from the water is not the same coast you see from the road; it is wider, quieter, and far more dramatic.

In the evening, the restaurant serves wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, fresh local fish and Campanian specialities à la carte. After a day at sea, it is exactly the right way to end things.
