Jumeirah Capri Palace
Anacapri, Italy · Jumeirah · Grand Luxury
Jumeirah Capri Palace opened in 1960 on Via Capodimonte in Anacapri, the quieter, higher western commune of Capri at the foot of Monte Solaro. Its original building was shaped in the 1960s by designer-architect Gianfranco Frattini, with later design updates introducing suites by Patricia Urquiola. From its early years, the hotel drew celebrities seeking a more private setting than Capri's commercial center. The hotel's Il Riccio beach club is carved into the rock beside the Blue Grotto, once used as a sea nymphaeum by Emperor Tiberius.

History
Jumeirah Capri Palace opened in 1960 as Capri Palace in Anacapri and has long been known as one of the island’s most discreet luxury retreats. The hotel’s official site emphasizes its blend of art, luxury, and holistic wellness, while later design updates have included suites by Patricia Urquiola. The property joined the Jumeirah portfolio and continues to position itself around Michelin-starred dining, contemporary art, and Capri’s seclusion. Independent coverage notes that the original building was shaped in the 1960s by designer-architect Gianfranco Frattini.
The setting
On Via Capodimonte in Anacapri — the quieter, elevated western commune of Capri at the foot of Monte Solaro, nearly 1,000 feet above sea level — Jumeirah Capri Palace opened in 1960, drawing celebrities and connoisseurs to a setting more private than the island's commercial centre. Villa San Michele, the clifftop estate of Swedish physician Axel Munthe housing Roman and Etruscan antiquities, is five minutes on foot. The hotel's Il Riccio beach club, carved into the rock adjacent to the Blue Grotto — Emperor Tiberius's ancient sea nymphaeum — brings guests to the water's edge. Anacapri's elevation, art-laden calm, and distance from Piazzetta crowds define this address as the island's most exclusive quarter for a serious luxury brand. 3.7 km from Faraglioni.
