Overview
The Amalfi Coast is a 50-kilometer stretch of vertiginous Mediterranean coastline in southern Italy, where pastel-colored villages cascade down limestone cliffs into the Tyrrhenian Sea. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area is defined by narrow winding roads, lemon groves, and ancient cathedrals.
For points travelers, the Amalfi Coast presents compelling redemption opportunities because cash rates at clifftop hotels are eye-wateringly high, especially in summer. Marriott Bonvoy members can access the NH Collection Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi at point rates that represent outstanding value.
Day trips to the ruins of Pompeii, boat excursions to Capri, and hikes along the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) add depth beyond the scenery. The region's cuisine — fresh buffalo mozzarella, limoncello, and impossibly fresh seafood — is reason enough to linger.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Amalfi Coast range from $108 to $1723 per night. Points redemptions offer 1.22+ cents per point value.
