Coastal Hotels on the Gulf of Salerno

The Gulf of Salerno is between the Sorrentine Peninsula in the north and Cilento region in the south. One of the most beautiful parts of Italy’s coastline, the Gulf of Salerno is lined with charming old-world towns with a wide variety of accommodation.

The city of Salerno has many four-star hotels with swimming pools and on-site restaurants overlooking the gulf. There are more luxury and boutique hotels along the Amalfi Coast in Vietri Sul Mare, Maiori and Cetara, where you’ll find many four- and five-star hotels with sea views.

Enjoy the Waters of the Gulf of Salerno

The Gulf of Salerno is a particularly scenic stretch of the Tyrrhenian Sea and one of the best ways to see it is from the water. Hop on a boat in Salerno or Arechi marina for a journey along the coastline.

Ferries depart from Salerno heading for Capri and Ashdod, or you could even charter your own smaller boats and head out into the Gulf of Salerno. Private tours show you some of the sights of the coastline, including the pastel-coloured towns that line the hills of the Amalfi Coast.

Bring your camera to photograph the picturesque town of Positano and pack a swimming costume so you can go for a dip in the welcomingly waters of the Gulf of Salerno.

Scenic Drives with Views of the Gulf of Salerno

If you prefer dry land, another great way to see the Gulf of Salerno is from a car, exploring the roads that wind around the cliffs of the region. The Amalfi Coast has many road trips to choose from, running between the old-world towns of the Sorrentine Peninsula.

Head away from your Salerno hotel to the south of the gulf to explore the scenic drives around Agropoli and the Cilento region. Park your car to explore classical ruins and to take panoramic shots of the spectacular coastline.
