An Amalfi honeymoon itinerary can become overfilled quickly. Positano, Capri, Amalfi, and Ravello all fit into five days on paper, but moving hotels and chasing viewpoints would work against the reason for the trip. This route uses only two bases: three nights in Positano, then two in Ravello, with one major outing per day.
The schedule follows the complete Amalfi honeymoon trip. It is a relaxed, luxury plan for couples traveling from May through September. The source notes that the beach shacks close from November through March.
Make the dinner and boat decisions first
Three reservations shape the trip more than the sightseeing:
- Book La Sponda when the flights are booked. The day-one dinner is built around its 400 candles.
- Arrange the private Capri launch from Positano for day two, with an early Blue Grotto approach before the queue of boats forms.
- Book Rossellinis in Ravello ahead. It is the second formal tasting-menu dinner in the route.
Franco's Bar does not take reservations, so arrive before sunset for the front rail. Da Adolfo has its own arrival detail: take the free boat marked by a red fish flag from Positano's pier.
Day 1: Arrive, swim, and stay in Positano
Leave the first morning open for arrival and begin at Spiaggia Grande at 15:00. The itinerary gives the swim 90 minutes, including the stairs down and the view back toward Positano.
Move to Franco's Bar at 17:00 for a 75-minute aperitivo. Since there are no reservations, the practical choice is to arrive before sunset rather than build another stop into the afternoon.
Dinner at La Sponda begins at 19:30 and lasts two hours. This is the first major booking and the reason day one remains otherwise light.
Day 2: Capri by private launch
Charter from Positano's pier at 09:30 and allow two and a half hours to circle Capri and enter its grottos. The Blue Grotto comes first, before the queue raft develops, followed by the Faraglioni.
Lunch starts at Da Luigi ai Faraglioni at 13:00. The plan allows 105 minutes for linguine beneath the sea stacks and a swim from the rocks while the boat waits.
At 16:00, spend an hour at the Gardens of Augustus above the switchbacks of Via Krupp, then stop for gelato in the piazzetta. Return to Positano for the 20:00 tasting menu at Casa Mele, where the source calls out the open-kitchen counter view.
This is the longest excursion day. Keeping the launch private allows the route to connect the grottos, lunch, and gardens without adding another Capri stop.
Day 3: Path of the Gods and Da Adolfo
Take the bus to Bomerano for a 09:00 start on the Path of the Gods. The itinerary gives the cliff walk two and a half hours toward Nocelle and places it before the heat.
Return to Positano's pier for the free boat to Da Adolfo at 12:45. Lunch lasts two hours and includes mozzarella grilled on lemon leaves, white wine with peaches, and time to swim between courses.
At 16:30, leave one hour for Ceramica Assunta and its hand-painted lemon ceramics. Dinner at Lo Guarracino begins at 19:30 on the vine-covered terrace over Fornillo, with seafood linguine as the lights come on below.
Day 4: Move through Amalfi to Ravello
Break the transfer at Amalfi Cathedral at 10:30. Spend 75 minutes on the staircase and in the Cloister of Paradise, then have a 12:30 harborside lunch at Ristorante Marina Grande. The source pairs the beach setting with scialatielli ai frutti di mare.
Continue up the switchback road to Ravello. Villa Rufolo begins at 15:00, with 90 minutes for the umbrella-pine terrace and festival stage over the sea. At 17:00, move to Villa Cimbrone and walk the garden avenue to the marble busts on the Terrace of Infinity in the lower light.
Rossellinis is the 20:00 dinner. The terrace tasting menu is formal, with jackets specifically part of the source plan, so this is not the night to improvise the meal.
Day 5: Keep the Ravello morning quiet
Start at Ravello's Duomo and piazza at 09:30, before the day-trippers arrive. The route leaves an hour for coffee outside and the cathedral square.
Farewell lunch is at Cumpa Cosimo at 12:30. Ask for the mixed pasta sampler and leave the afternoon unplanned, as the source itself recommends.
Choose this version for two bases and a slower finish
This plan fits couples who want the coast to be the trip rather than one part of a wider southern Italy route. Use the Amalfi Coast for Two collection to decide which coast stops deserve protection.
For a different six-day structure, compare the Amalfi Coast and Naples itinerary. The useful choice is between keeping these five days centered on Positano and Ravello or making the coast one half of a broader trip.
