Legend has it that gods came down from heaven to the Path in order to reach the sea. In fact, the path was given its title by an Italian historian and politician in the mid-1800s, inspired by the gorgeous views of shimmering waters and the island of Capri that hikers can enjoy. This spectacular scenery is one not be missed if you are spending time on the Amalfi Coast, it is a one-way 3.7-mile hike, accompanied by a private guide, and it is easy to see why the Gods may have fallen in love with it.

Capri has some incredible places to eat with panoramic views over the bay and fresh food. A few of our favorites are:

• Villa Verde is a lively restaurant with a large outdoor terrace and a chic cocktail bar. The terrace is also perfect for an aperitif.
  
• L'Agave is one of the best restaurants in Capri, recently under new management and having had a rebrand, this restaurant overlooks the sea.
  
• Torre Saracena is a lovely restaurant facing the famous Faraglioni of Capri, with a large variety of dishes, particularly those made from fresh seafood. There is also a beach club.
  
• Il Riccio is an exclusive beach club with a chic terrace for lounging, stairs to the sea and Mediterranean cuisine. It has a vegetarian menu also.
  
• Da Gelsomina is one of Capri's landmark restaurants, where the same family has been preparing local specialties for generations. Located on the higher part of the island, Anacapri.

These are recommendations only.

Enjoy your day at leisure with some recommended suggestions below:

• Take advantage of the private beach club for Jumeirah guests and take a dip in the sea.

• Dine in style at L'Olivo, the only 2 Michelin star restaurant on the island.
  
• Experience the pinnacle of romance when you hop on together into the chair lift in Piazza Vittoria, which takes you on a splendid 12-minute ride to the top of Mount Solaro, the island’s highest and most panoramic point.

These are recommended activities by scenset—nothing has been booked. Let us know if you'd like to confirm any reservations.

Beach Clubs:

• La Fontelina: Opened in 1949, La Fontelina began as a humble beach shack eatery but it didn’t take long for the jet set to discover it in the ’60s. To access La Fontelina, you’ll have to take a long flight of stairs starting near the Punta Tragara hotel. Don’t underestimate the journey and come with practical shoes. The destination will be worth it. Instead of sand, there are slabs of limestone and the famous blue-and-white striped beach chairs to lounge in. Today, a trip to La Fontelina, which always includes lunch, is a Capri must. Like all beach clubs here, reservations are required and book up quickly.
  
• Da Luigi: On that same staircase down to La Fontelina, you’ll find Da Luigi. Another equally scenic beach club, Da Luigi is situated nearby one of the three formations that make up the Faraglioni. The place bills itself as Capri's de facto living room. Since its opening in the 1960s, it’s been a place for relaxation and respite beneath the sun.
  
• Lido del Faro: Lido del Faro is a beach club right underneath the Punta Carena lighthouse at Capri’s southwestern end with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a saltwater pool perched right above sea level. After spending the afternoon relaxing, head to the restaurant for a long lunch of pasta dishes like mezzi paccheri with puréed green peppers and octopus ragù, or just order a panino straight to your beach chair.
  
• Il Riccio: The exclusive Il Riccio Beach Club is found on the North shore of the island, near the spectacular Blue Grotto. Set on a cliff with sea access via a staircase that zigzags down to the water’s edge, the chic white-and-blue beach club has a collection of inviting sunbeds and loungers to allow guests to perfect their tan in privacy. And for fine dining, Il Riccio restaurant prepares exquisite seafood delicacies paired with top Italian and international wines.

This is a recommendation only.

Capri Town

• Da Paolino: You’ve probably already seen photos of Da Paolino without even knowing it. Located above Marina Grande and situated in a lemon tree-filled garden, Da Paolino is a must-go. To dine here is to dine beneath a canopy of citrus (nets catch falling fruits). Order a Caprese, the island’s eponymous salad, and the lemon spaghetti. And no meal here is complete without a bit of limoncello.
  
• Le Grottelle: Olive trees and a pergola? Beautiful, but child’s play compared to the views of Arco Natural you’ll get at Le Grottelle. This spot is about 20 minutes from the Piazzetta—just look out for the painted tiles under the arch and start walking. Plan to linger on the terrace over plates of marinated anchovies and perfectly prepared grilled seafood. If you see scarole on the menu, order it as a side—it’s escarole stewed with olives, capers, raisins, and anchovies. Note that they’re closed on Tuesdays and only take reservations by phone, and you may want to bring a flashlight if you’re making moves after dusk.
  
• Aurora: Aurora and Capri are synonymous for gastronomy enthusiasts spread all over the globe. More than a restaurant, Aurora is a place that rightfully belongs, generation after generation, to the emblematic map of an island so full of myth, epic beauty and infinite narratives.
  
• Lo Sfizio: The pizza at this casual spot in the residential neighborhood of Tiberio is worth the uphill trek it takes to get to it. The tender, thick-crusted Neapolitan pies are one of the island’s best bargain meals, but if you’re incapable of turning down pasta, try the paccheri totani (a short, chubby pasta served with squid in a tomato-based sauce) or the scialatielli con frutti di mare with zucchini and swordfish. Order a bottle of falanghina, a white wine that’s grown in the volcanic soil across the bay, and grab a seat outside under a wooden pergola or the pedestrian-only street.
  
• Villa Margherita: You’re probably hoping to have at least one meal under olive trees in a garden with a sea view on this trip. Live out that fantasy at this family-run spot just down the hill from Via Camerelle, where the herbs and vegetables that will eventually make their way to your plate are all grown on-site. This is a great place to try octopus genovese, a Caprese spin on the traditional Neapolitan braised beef and onion stew, as well as classics like spaghetti alla nerano, a dish that’s made with zucchini and provolone.

Anacapri

• Da Gelsomina: Da Gelsomina is one of Capri's landmark restaurants, where the same family has been preparing local specialties for generations. Famous for its "ravioli capresi", "pollo al mattone", and rabbit cacciatora, Da Gelsomina uses produce picked fresh from their own garden and serves the house white made from the family's tiny vineyard.
  
• La Terrazza Di Lucullo: The sweetest tomatoes, the crunchiest cucumbers, the juiciest lemons and the most aromatic of herbs: it's the quality of the fruit and vegetables grown in the hotel's cliff top kitchen garden with the most jaw-dropping views which makes the dishes served in Caesar Augustus' La Terrazza di Lucullo restaurant so unbelievably delicious and so incredibly healthy too!
  
• L’Olivo: Capri’s dining scene is famously and delightfully relaxed but when you want something more distinguished, L’Olivo is the best choice. Helmed by a chef, who hails from nearby Ischia, the restaurant boasts two Michelin stars. Set within the Anacapri’s Capri Palace Jumeirah, the restaurant’s signature dish is the lemon-scented homemade tagliolini pasta with burrata cheese, red prawns, and sea asparagus.

This is a recommendation only.

We love these hangout spots for drinks in Capri:

• Monzù Gin Club & American Bar is the perfect place for a cocktail after a day at the beach or by the pool. Over 150 types of gin and views overlooking the bay of Capri.
  
• Taverna Anema e Core is a unique taverna with no dress code and live music! A frequent celebrity haunt for its casual, laidback party atmosphere.
