Ara Maris

The hotel is located half way between the station and the harbour. From the top floor there are beautiful views and very relaxing. The hotel is new and everything looks nice and clean, rooms are decorated in blue and white with nice furniture and a comfortable bed. Nice pool and plenty of food places around, although it is classed as a 4* it could easily be a 5*. Look forward to returning.

As soon as we arrived, it was clear this was somewhere special. Having opened earlier this year, the hotel is pristine and modern but with a very comfortable and friendly feel. Enrico made us feel like long lost friends, and ensured we fully settled in our spectacular room before leaving us to the welcome fruit platter and prosecco on arrival. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated with balcony views over the hotels delightful gardens and pool. The bathroom was large, with robes, slippers and toiletries and a fantastic shower. The main bedroom has a huge bed, Nespresso coffee machine, complimentary bottles of water, replaced daily, and good wardrobe space. The underfloor heating was very welcomed on the slightly chilly evenings, but the room was warm and controlled. The room controls were operated with a wave of the hand, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was fantastic, a great variety of pastries, local produce, eggs to order, and delicious coffee, with an option to eat outside by the pool. The Lumi rooftop bar is wonderful and a great place to relax with spectacular views of the bay of Naples and Vesuvius on a clear day. Antonio and Martina were always there with a smile and keen to hear of our experiences. The hotel is located a few hundred metres from Piazza Tasso, one of the main squares, and a good reference point for exploring Sorrento. Just off the Piazza are the main shopping, restaurant and tourist areas and the narrow winding streets are delightful. Guilia, one of the concierge, is a mine of local information and gave us some great options to enjoy during our stay. The main port is only a 5-10 minutes walk away from where we got the ferry to Capri. For the time of year, Capri was almost deserted, and many of the boutique shops closed, but so much easier to walk around, have a bite to eat and the mandatory limoncello spritz! Sorrento train station is also a few minutes walk from where the express train takes around an hour to get to Pompeii, stopping a hundred metres from the entrance to the site. We had the most wonderful 5 days in Sorrento, made all the more special by the Ara Maris and is fantastic staff. We couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough.

My daughter and I had a whirlwind trip traveling around Italy, and the absolute best stay was at the stunningly beautiful and perfectly centrally situated Ara Maris. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by Fulvio who took us to a gorgeous room with the most breathtaking view from our balcony. The accommodations were pure luxury from the comfiest bed to a Nespresso set up, to the robe & slippers perfect for sitting outside and viewing Vesuvius or enjoying the Spa or lounging poolside. Breakfast did not disappoint— the array of delicious pastries, fruits, yogurt and so much more, plus we could choose a freshly made hot breakfast as well. The Lumi Sky Lounge couldn’t be beat as the ideal respite for drinks and aperitivo at the end of a day touring. The views are amazing, and the magical sunsets we will never forget. Last but certainly not least: the entire Ara Maris staff was exceptional. They are readily available to help, answer any question or suggest one of the many wonderful restaurants within easy walking distance. Thank you Ara Maris for being our favorite and most memorable stay in Italy. Four nights wasn’t enough! We miss you already!

Ara Maris Hotel was an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, Giulia at the concierge desk went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Her food and activity recommendations were spot-on, and she worked magic to secure us last-minute massages—a lifesaver after a long day of travel. The hotel itself was spotless, perfectly located nearby downtown and the train station, and felt incredibly safe, which only added to the comfort of our stay. We can’t wait to return on our next trip to Sorrento. Highly recommend!
