Capri Palace Jumeirah Hotel & Spa

The chic Capri Palace is in the heart of Anacapri, a laid-back town with upscale boutiques. Ideally located, it's a great base from which to explore Capri's main attractions, including the summit of Monte Solaro and the Blue Grotto, a natural sea cave. Arches, vaulted ceilings and columns dominate the all-white and cream interiors, reminiscent of an 18th-century Neapolitan palazzo. The contemporary artwork, on the other hand, adds colour to the design: giant bronze helmets, neon art and crazy pop art pieces create a casual atmosphere. The Capri Beauty Farm is an award-winning medical spa that offers a range of holistic treatments and employs 25 doctors, therapists, dieticians, estheticians and chefs. A speciality of the wellness retreat is its innovative "leg school," designed to improve circulation and lymph flow, prevent cellulite and boost the metabolism. The many amenities also include a large outdoor pool, fitness room and private beach club. And the culinary bonus: the two restaurants can claim all three of Capri's Michelin stars.
