HOW TO REACH ARIENZO BEACH CLUB BY SEA

Arienzo Beach in Positano

Arienzo Beach lies just beyond the center of Positano, along the coast toward Praiano. More intimate than Spiaggia Grande, it is framed by towering cliffs and lush vegetation, creating a peaceful and secluded atmosphere. Rising behind the beach, among terraced gardens suspended above the sea, is Villa Tre Ville, once the home of Franco Zeffirelli and now one of the Amalfi Coast’s most exclusive retreats.

The bay is also particularly loved for its sun exposure. While many beaches along the coast fall into shadow earlier in the day, Arienzo remains sunlit well into the afternoon.

The beach can also be reached from the coastal road by descending around 300 steps. The walk offers beautiful views, although the climb back can be demanding, particularly on the hottest summer days. Arriving by boat brings you directly to the shore, turning the journey itself into a memorable part of the day.

Arienzo Beach Club, a Positano Icon

Overlooking the bay from which it takes its name, Arienzo Beach Club is one of the best-known beach clubs on the Amalfi Coast. Its signature orange loungers and umbrellas stand out against the blue of the sea, the pale stone and the green coastline. The experience brings together seaside relaxation, Mediterranean cuisine, cocktails, music and attentive service in surroundings that feel exclusive yet effortlessly relaxed.

Guests can spend the entire day by the water, enjoying lunch on the terrace or directly from their lounger, depending on the package selected.

A public section of the beach is located beside the beach club. Arienzo Beach Club’s facilities and services, however, are reserved for guests with a confirmed booking.

How to Get to Arienzo Beach Club from Positano

To use the boat service, you must first reserve your day at Arienzo Beach Club.
On the day of your visit, the meeting point is the Lucibello Gazebo, located in the center of Spiaggia Grande in Positano. Guests should arrive at least 20 minutes before the time shown on their confirmation, allowing the welcome and boarding procedures to take place at an unhurried pace.
The shuttle boat is reserved for beach club guests and is included with the booking, so there is no need to arrange it separately.

The official Arienzo Beach Club boat is easy to recognize by its blue and yellow compass rose logo. The journey to the beach takes approximately five minutes.
Guests arriving in Positano by ferry can easily walk to the Lucibello Gazebo, which is only a short distance from the landing area.

The Lucibello Welcome on Spiaggia Grande

Upon arriving on Positano’s Spiaggia Grande, Arienzo Beach Club guests can enjoy Lucibello’s exclusive welcome services: dedicated assistance, access to a reserved lounge and boarding from the private pier.
From here, the official Arienzo Beach Club boat follows the coastline for a few minutes before arriving directly at the beach.

As you leave Spiaggia Grande behind, Positano reveals itself from the sea in all its elegance: pastel-colored houses, flower-filled terraces and gardens suspended along the mountainside.The scenery soon becomes greener and more secluded, before opening onto the bay of Arienzo, where the iconic orange umbrellas appear against the deep blue of the Mediterranean.

How to Reach Arienzo from Amalfi or Sorrento

The Arienzo Beach Club shuttle boat departs exclusively from Spiaggia Grande in Positano.

Guests staying in Amalfi, Sorrento or elsewhere along the coast must therefore travel to Positano first, using one of the available ferry connections, and then make their way to the Lucibello welcome point.

Choose a service that allows plenty of time to reach the meeting point before the time stated in your booking confirmation. Alternatively, a private boat transfer can be arranged separately.
