STAY
Effortless luxury abounds at sleek beachside stay Capovaticano Resort Thalasso Spa (3), where relaxation tops the agenda. Spacious rooms (1) take on a soft minimalist aesthetic with neutral hues aplenty, together with terraces that look out across the Tyrrhenian Sea. There’s a superb spa that draws upon the healing powers of seawater, and the alfresco beach bar is the ideal place to sip an aperitivo (2) while watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon.
