Views & Atmosphere
The rooftop offers views over Minori’s rooftops and the sparkling Mediterranean beyond. It’s not a dramatic clifftop vista, but rather an authentic perspective of life in this charming coastal town, with the sea as a beautiful backdrop.
The atmosphere is relaxed and refined, never crowded or noisy. It’s a space designed for genuine rest and enjoyment, where you can disconnect from the world or connect with fellow guests, as you prefer.

Reserving Loungers: During peak season, arriving earlier in the day ensures better lounger selection. The solarium never feels overcrowded, but guests do have their preferred spots.
Weather: The solarium operates weather permitting. On rare days with strong wind or rain, it may temporarily close for safety.
Privacy: While the rooftop is shared space, the layout and capacity ensure everyone has room to relax comfortably.
Dress Code: Casual resort wear, swimwear, and cover-ups are all appropriate.
Making the Most of Your Solarium Time
Bring a good book you’ve been meaning to read. Download that podcast series. Or simply do nothing, the rarest luxury in modern life. The solarium is designed for whatever version of relaxation you need.
Many guests find the rooftop becomes their favorite hotel space, a place they return to each day, creating a comfortable rhythm to their Amalfi Coast holiday.
