Planning an Italy babymoon? After visiting the Amalfi Coast twice, we’re sharing exactly where we’d stay, what we’d book again, our favorite restaurants and beach clubs, and everything we’d recommend for a relaxing, unforgettable trip to Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
When it came time to plan our babymoon for baby number 2 (still can’t believe it!), Bridger and I kept coming back to the same two places: Mallorca and the Amalfi Coast.
Neither of us had ever been to Mallorca (which has been at the top of my travel list forever), but I had been to the Amalfi Coast a few years ago with my sister. She has been to Italy more times than I can count, and on that trip she basically showed me all of her favorite spots. We stayed at both Caesar Augustus and Santa Caterina, ate at incredible restaurants, spent our days at beach clubs, and I left already planning my return before we had even flown home.
I also shared my first Amalfi Coast guide a few years back, but returning for our Italy babymoon gave me an entirely new perspective. This wasn’t about trying to see everything—it was about slowing down and truly enjoying one of the most beautiful places in the world. This guide includes everywhere we’d stay again, every restaurant we’d happily return to, our favorite beach clubs, and a few things we’d do differently after experiencing it twice.
The more Bridger and I talked through it, the more I realized they were going to be two completely different vacations. Mallorca felt like an adventure—renting a car, driving from beach to beach, exploring different towns, and trying to squeeze in as much as possible each day. Normally, that sounds amazing.
But at 22 weeks pregnant, I felt like I wanted the exact opposite.
I wanted slower mornings, lunches by the water, beautiful hotels that we’d actually have time to enjoy, one great beach club reservation a day, one great dinner reservation a day, and otherwise…not feeling like we had to be anywhere.
Knowing what the Amalfi Coast could be made the decision pretty easy. And looking back, I’m so happy with where we chose to do an Italy babymoon.
If you’ve been around here for a while, you might remember our first babymoon to the Maldives (you can read that guide here). That trip was all about complete relaxation. This one had a little more exploring mixed in, but it still felt slow, intentional, and like the perfect way to soak up one last big adventure before becoming a family of four.
If you’re planning a trip to Capri or Amalfi, I hope this guide helps! I’m sharing exactly where we stayed, everything we ate, what I’d absolutely book again, and a few things I’d probably do differently next time.
Before We Dive In…
We were able to use credit card points for both of our hotels, which made this trip feel much more attainable. If you’ve been saving points for a bucket-list vacation, this is exactly the kind of trip I’d use them on. Staying somewhere you genuinely love and actually want to spend time at completely changes the experience.
We also decided to book private boat transfers instead of taking the ferry.
Was it necessary? Definitely not.
Was it worth it? For us aka me…100%.
I get seasick ridiculously easily, and the thought of being pregnant and seasick sounded like my personal nightmare. 😂 It made travel days incredibly seamless, eliminated hauling our luggage through ferry terminals, and truly just let the vacation start the second we landed.
If you’re trying to decide where to splurge, I’d personally prioritize the hotels and, if your budget allows, the private boat transfers. Those were two things that made the biggest difference for us. But I will say, I took the ferry to Capri with my sister and it wasn’t bad! I think I remember it was about 45 minutes long and my eyes were glued to the skyline lol.
One thing I love about the Amalfi Coast is that it really isn’t a destination where every minute needs to be planned. In my opinion, there are really only two reservations that matter: beach clubs and dinner. Once those are booked, I’d leave the rest of your days open.
Where We Stayed
Caesar Augustus: Anacapri
If you’ve ever searched for the best hotels in Capri, chances are you’ve come across Caesar Augustus Hotel in Anacapri. I’d stayed here on my previous Capri trip, and there wasn’t a question in my mind that we’d be coming back for our babymoon.
Located in Anacapri, the hotel sits high on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean, and I truly don’t think the photos do it justice. Every morning we’d open the curtains and just stare out at the view over the water. It was truly unreal.
One of the reasons I love staying in Anacapri is that it feels noticeably quieter than Capri town. You can still be in town in about 10-15 minutes whenever you want to shop or head to dinner, but coming back to the hotel at the end of the day feels like a little escape. For this trip especially, that slower pace was exactly what we were looking for.
We intentionally kept our first afternoon completely open so we could actually enjoy the hotel instead of dropping our bags and running off to the next reservation. Looking back, that ended up being one of the best decisions we made all week. After an overnight flight, there was nothing better than changing into swimsuits, ordering lunch by the pool, and officially switching into vacation mode.
One of the biggest perks of staying here is that the hotel can coordinate private boat transportation directly from Naples. I don’t need much convincing to avoid a ferry (I learned my lesson in Greece), and pregnancy gave me the perfect excuse to upgrade. 😂 It made getting to Capri completely seamless and was one of those splurges we never once regretted.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Caesar Augustus has one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had at a hotel!!
If you’ve been saving hotel points for a bucket-list trip, this is exactly the kind of place I’d use them.
Santa Caterina: Amalfi
Santa Caterina Hotel in Amalfi was another hotel I couldn’t wait to come back to.
I’d stayed here before as well, and it was one I knew Bridger had to see and experience for himself. I remembered loving it the first time, but somehow it was even better than I remembered.
From the second you pull up, you understand why people rave about this place. Everything feels elevated without ever feeling stuffy. The service here is just on another level.
The hotel itself is stunning, but what really keeps me coming back is the beach area. We spent our entire last full day of vaca rotating between lounging in the sun, swimming in the Mediterranean, reading our books, ordering lunch, falling asleep, and doing it all over again. No schedule. No rushing off to the next reservation. It was perfection.
The hotel also has a Michelin-starred restaurant, but honestly, we found ourselves at their casual waterfront restaurant both nights we had free. The setting is hard to beat, the food is out of this world, and it just feels relaxed in the best way. We ate there multiple times throughout the trip and would’ve happily gone back again.
If you’re deciding where to splurge during an Amalfi Coast trip, I’d put Santa Caterina at the top of the list every single time. It continues to be one of my top hotels in the world.
Capri
We spent our first three nights in Capri, and if you’re deciding how to split your time between Capri and Amalfi, I’d do it exactly the way we did by starting with Capri. It’s the trickier of the two destinations to get to, so I’d rather make that journey first and then work my way back toward Naples at the end of the trip. Three nights in each felt like the perfect balance. If you have an extra day or two, I’d absolutely add another night in Capri. If your budget allows, I’d also finish the trip with one or two nights at Le Sirenuse Hotel in Positano.
One thing I love about Capri is the energy. Between the beach clubs, shopping, restaurants, and people watching, there’s always something to do—but it never feels overwhelming. In my opinion, there are really only two reservations worth planning your day around while in Capri: your beach club and dinner.
Day One: Arriving in Capri
We landed in Naples that morning around 8:30am before hopping on a private boat transfer to Capri. Pulling into the marina by boat is one of the best parts (!!), and it was such a fun way for Bridger to experience the island for the first time.
Once we checked into Caesar Augustus, we had one plan for the rest of the day: don’t leave the hotel.
We ordered lunch by the pool, took our time unpacking, wandered the property, and honestly just enjoyed finally being there. I think it’s tempting to hit the ground running on trips like this (which I did on my previous Capri trip with my sister to cram everything in), but having that first afternoon to settle in made the whole week feel more enjoyable.
Dinner: La Terrazza di Lucullo
That evening we had dinner at La Terrazza di Lucullo, the restaurant at Caesar Augustus. Before that is mandatory drinks on the balcony overlooking all of Capri, debatably the best view on Capri, in my opinion. Grab a late dinner reservation, like 8:30pm (sun sets late in the summer), and relax in the sun with a drink and snacks starting around 7pm.
The food was great, the views were even better, and somewhere between the appetizers and our entrées the jet lag officially hit us. 😂 We almost dipped before the mains came, but we made it through and then back to our room around 9:45-10pm and were asleep within minutes.
Quick travel tip: We always use the Timeshifter app when flying internationally. You plug in your flights before your trip, and it tells you when to sleep, drink caffeine, seek light, and more to help minimize jet lag. It honestly works so well for us, and I recommend it to everyone. (Not sponsored…I wish!)
Day Two: La Fontelina
If you’re planning a trip to Capri, let me save you a little time…
La Fontelina Beach Club in Capri is the reservation worth fighting for on the island.
If I could only make one reservation on the island, this would probably be it.
Beach chairs book up months in advance, especially in July and August. When I booked our trip, I was able to get a lunch reservation but every single beach chair was already gone.
I still checked the reservation site constantly hoping something would open up, but no luck. So we decided to gamble a little. The morning of our reservation, we took a taxi into town, walked all the way down to La Fontelina around 10 a.m., and asked if they happened to have any extra chairs available.
Somehow…they did and I’m hoping my pregnant belly gave us a better shot.
They weren’t the best chairs on the property, but I genuinely couldn’t have cared less. I was just so happy to be back and couldn’t stop telling Bridge how incredible this was. Side note, they choose the spot for you and you can’t finagle your way to a different area. So may luck be on your side with the seating arrangements. I think the more days you book play a factor in getting a better reservation, but again, not entirely sure.
Anyways, three years later and I somehow loved La Fontelina even more than I remembered.
The water is so crystal clear, the Faraglioni are right in front of you, yachts are drifting by all afternoon, and there’s just an energy about the place that feels so quintessentially Capri.
You’ll probably see celeb sightings if you go, and while we were there, Sofia Vergara pulled up by boat with a big group to celebrate her birthday at La Fontelina for lunch.
If you can’t get beach chairs at La Fontelina, I’d head next door to Da Luigi ai Faraglioni. They recently updated all of their loungers and umbrellas, and it’s only a quick walk back to La Fontelina if you already have a lunch reservation there. This was plan B had they not given us any beach chairs!!
Lunch: La Fontelina
The food is every bit as good as everyone says it is.
I’m still thinking about the chicken Caesar salad. And I know…it’s just a Caesar salad. 😂 But somehow it’s the best one I’ve ever had.
I’m always a sucker for the catch of the day and a zucchini pasta in Italy! Definitely order the zucchini flowers, too.
This ended up being my favorite lunch in Capri and one I’d book again without thinking twice. Service is beyond and I’m telling you, the vibes are incredible. I also bought a small bottle of their extra virgin olive oil to take home with us – always my favorite type of souvenir!
Gelato: Buonocore Gelateria
You have two routes you can take from La Fontelina to get back up to town: take a boat ride to marina Piccola and then grab a taxi to the top, or you can just walk back up [read: trek back up the mountain] and make a stop for gelato or sorbet in town at Buonocore Gelateria. I’ve never not walked back up so I can’t give you the rundown of the short boat ride, but I will say it’s for sure a mini workout to get back up to the top, but it always makes the gelato feel so worth it lol. It’s almost a right of passage to go to La Fontelina. Plus, I just prefer the main town versus marina Piccola after visiting for Casa Tua Mare the following day (below).
Dinner: a-ma-re Capri
That evening we had dinner at a-ma-re Capri, or we just call it, “the yellow restaurant” and I’d definitely recommend timing your reservation around sunset.
The food was great, but the views are really what make this spot so special.
One little thing I’d add to your itinerary: if you aren’t already planning another dinner at Il Riccio right next door, then I suggest to walk over after dinner and visit their famous Temptation Room. Order dessert there, then take your plate upstairs to the Dior Bar. Cute way to end the night with dessert and a view! Also a little tip: those two restaurants are definitely out of the way from Anacapri so it can take longer to get a taxi back home after sunset. Have the restaurant call you one when you’re finished.
Day Three: Casa Tua Mare
This was probably the only reservation from the trip that didn’t quite live up to my expectations.
Casa Tua Mare had just opened a few weeks before we arrived, so I was really excited to check it out. The restaurant is beautiful and the views from it are incredible, but I don’t think I’d recommend the beach club.
There are only around 30 chairs, they’re packed extremely close together (what felt like 2 inches apart), it’s directly next to a public beach, and overall it just felt a lot busier and louder than I expected. It’s also just very different from what we had experienced at La Fontelina the day before, which was more quiet and relaxation. There are also loungers on the upper level near the restaurant, but when they took us to view those, they were completely covered at the time, so you weren’t getting any sun or really feeling connected to the water.
Lunch was good, but it wasn’t anything I’d plan another trip around. If I were doing this itinerary again, I’d spend another full day at La Fontelina instead.
We left Casa Tua Mare just after lunch instead of staying at the beach club longer so that we could get more sun time by our pool at Caesar Augustus. Nothing beats it!
In the evening we got ready for dinner and sat outside on the balcony to enjoy the view (again) before we headed into town. This blush matched this dress perfectly btw. I got the shade Late Date.
Drinks Before Dinner: Hotel Quisisana
One thing you absolutely have to work into your itinerary is pre-dinner drinks at Hotel Quisisana, even if you aren’t staying there. Another 10/10 rec from my sister, who again, took me on her highlight trip to the Amalfi Coast three years ago.
Get ready for dinner, take a taxi into town, go shopping, then grab a drink and people-watch for an hour before your dinner reservation. Tip to get there before it fills up, usually around 6pm. I made my own mocktail– sparkling water, a side of fresh passionfruit, and ice. Perfection!
Dinner: Fuoco by Casa Tua at Hotel La Palma
This ended up being our favorite dinner in Capri.
Fuoco, the rooftop restaurant at Hotel La Palma, had only been open for a few weeks when we visited, so we didn’t really know what to expect—but it completely exceeded every expectation.
The rooftop setting is gorgeous, the menu made it nearly impossible to choose what to order, and our 7:45 reservation ended up being perfect. We watched the sunset from the rooftop while making our way through dinner, and it was one of those meals we’ll probably talk about for years.
This would easily be my top dinner recommendation in Capri. Casa Tua redeemed itself to us with this restaurant!
One quick note: they do enforce a dress code after 5 p.m., so leave the flip-flops and beachwear back at the hotel.
Before heading back to the hotel, we grabbed gelato from Buonocore Gelateria again, which is probably the most famous gelato spot in Capri—and for good reason. The homemade waffle cones smell incredible the second you walk by (!), and it was the perfect way to end our last night on the island.
The next morning we got in one last mini workout before breakfast and heading out. When I say “mini workout” I mean at the time, I was going through a roller coaster of SI joint pain that was on and off for about 2 months during pregnancy. Thankfully I was seeing my chiropractor, pelvic floor physical therapist and my massage therapist consistency and we managed to improve the pain enough for this trip. I made an effort to walk for 5-10 minutes at Caesar Augustus’ mini gym they had on property for 2 out of the 3 mornings, then follow a stretching session and light weights for about 15-20 minutes.
I’ve been following the workouts in my GOOD // SWEAT Pregnancy Guide and I’m so thankful to have the guide completed this time around. During my first pregnancy, I was hard at work creating this exact guide and didn’t launch it until after I gave birth. So having it with me at all times (saved on the Books app on my iPhone) helps remove the decision fatigue of what to do in the gym (or at-home). It’s the biggest game changer. Learn more about this 26-week guide HERE. It definitely helped me stay active before and I’m excited to be using it again this pregnancy to continue making me feel strong and ready for birth.
Amalfi
After three nights in Capri, we packed up and headed to Amalfi.
I love both Capri and Amalfi for completely different reasons. Capri feels a little more lively—you have beach clubs, shopping, fun taxi rides, people watching, and a bit more of a buzz. Amalfi, at least for us, was where we really settled in.
By this point in the trip, we weren’t looking to squeeze in more. We were thriving with slow mornings, afternoons by the water, and dinners we were genuinely excited about. It ended up being the perfect way to finish the trip.
Day Four: Capri to Amalfi
Another splurge we made was taking a private boat from Capri to Amalfi instead of the ferry. Besides avoiding the crowds and sometimes no sun cover, you get to enjoy the coastline from the water, which is pretty hard to beat, and ask your captain to stop wherever to jump in and swim.
On the way, we stopped at one place I’d been looking forward to ever since booking the trip.
Lunch: Le Sirenuse Mare
Le Sirenuse Mare had just opened this year (2026) after five years of construction, so we knew we wanted to experience it while we were there. *So many new beach clubs and restaurants this year by the way.
On my previous Amalfi trip with my sister, she took me to stay one night at Le Sirenuse in Positano, and I gotta say, it was one of the most elevated places I’ve been to. We experienced the same elevated feel in that effortless Italian way with Le Sirenuse Mare. It’s located in Nerano, about a 35-minute boat ride from Capri.
The beach club is absolutely beautiful…but I’ll also be transparent about how expensive it is. Beach chairs were €500 per person, and that’s not even including food and drinks.
SO, we decided to skip the chairs and instead got there about an hour before our lunch reservation. We ordered iced teas at the bar (best iced tea I’ve ever had btw. Just unsweetened iced tea, fresh mint, and fresh lemon juice), wandered the property, and the staff kindly let us grab towels, jump in the Mediterranean, and dry off on the lounge seating just above the beach chairs—for free. Win.
Honestly, it ended up feeling like the best of both worlds. We got to experience the property, cool off in the water, and still enjoy the most incredible lunch without committing to the full beach club experience. Plus, we were only planning to stop there for a few hours before heading to the next hotel, so it didn’t make sense to spend that much on beach chairs.
Lunch itself was easily one of our favorite meals of the trip. Every course was incredible, the service was impeccable, and the setting is about as dreamy as it gets. Grilled catch of the day, zucchini flowers, a zucchini pasta, tomato salad, and bell peppers, followed by their homemade gelato and sorbet.
Even if you’re just passing through Nerano by boat, I’d absolutely make time for lunch here.
Then we had our captain take us just to the right of Positano from the water to jump in and swim. I mean, it looks just like a postcard and is one of the most incredible views we’ve ever seen. Truly a DREAM getting to swim there!!
Checking Into Santa Caterina
After lunch, we made our way to Santa Caterina, unpacked, snuck in a quick nap, and got ready for dinner at the hotel.
Dinner: Santa Caterina
That night we kept things simple and ate at the hotel’s casual waterfront restaurant.
If you’re staying here, I’d absolutely recommend working at least one dinner here into your stay.
The setting right on the water is so beautiful, the food is consistently incredible– I die for the pizza brioche ball starter they give you before your meal!!– and after a travel day on the boat, it was the perfect low-key first night in Amalfi.
Day Five: Amalfi
I think I’ve already said it before, but one thing I love about Amalfi is that it naturally feels a bit slower.
We started with the breakfast buffet at the hotel then snagged some beach chairs and lounged for the foreseeable future, until dinner. We ate lunch by the pool– Greek salad with chicken and shared a pizza.
Dinner: Da Gemma
If you’re staying in Amalfi, I’d absolutely put Da Gemma on your list.
It’s right in town, so you should go early to walk around, walk up the stairs and through the church, then hit your dinner resi. Pretty great service, incredible food, and another menu that made it hard to choose. Get the nonni’s pasta!
One of the most memorable dinners from the trip, and somewhere I’d happily go back to every time we’re in Amalfi.
Day Six: Our Last Full Day
We saved our last full day for doing…pretty much nothing. And I mean that in the best way possible.
We spent the entire day at Santa Caterina’s beach club rotating between the pool, the Mediterranean, our lounge chairs, lunch, drinking out peach iced teas (half unsweetened homemade tea and half canned peach iced, with lemon juice and freshly sliced peaches) and back again. It was one of those days where you look up and suddenly it’s 5 p.m. because you’ve completely lost track of time. The most relaxing day of our babymoon? Yes.
If I have one piece of advice, it’s not to overbook yourself. That’s one of the best parts about staying at either of these two hotels… they’re unbeatable!
Lunch & Dinner: Santa Caterina
We ended up eating lunch at the pool again, because why fix something that’s not broken. This time we shared the focaccia with tomato sauce and each got Greek salads with chicken.
And another dinner at their more casual waterfront restaurant! It quickly became one of our favorite spots of the week. Fresh seafood, homemade pastas, incredible service, and one of those views that somehow never gets old. Live music too.
Order the pasta with olive oil, garlic and chili flakes. You will die for it!
The hotel also has a Michelin-starred restaurant, but honestly, this felt much more like our speed. Relaxed, beautiful, and the kind of place you could happily spend a few hours without realizing it. One restaurant I do regret not going to is their newer rooftop mediterranean grilled restaurant. The photos look stunning, but I remember it only being open a few days a week.
If I Were Planning This Trip Again…
Book These ASAP:
- La Fontelina – If there’s one reservation worth planning your trip around, it’s this one. Beach chairs disappear quickly, especially in July and August.
- Fuoco by Casa Tua – Our favorite dinner in Capri. Book around sunset if you can.
- Da Gemma – A classic Amalfi dinner that completely lived up to the hype.
- Caesar Augustus – Superior Capri hotel.
- Santa Caterina – High-end and relaxing Amalfi hotel.
Worth Every Penny:
- Private boat transfers
- Caesar Augustus
- Santa Caterina
What I’d Skip Next Time:
- Casa Tua Mare beach club
Planning Tips for the Amalfi Coast
- The Amalfi Coast really only requires two reservations: beach clubs and dinner. Everything else can stay flexible.
- If you’re visiting in July or August, book La Fontelina as soon as reservations open.
- Three nights in Capri + three nights in Amalfi felt like the perfect split. BUT if you have an extra night or two to spare, go to four nights in Capri and one in Positano or two nights in Positano to end the trip.
- I’d choose lunch at beach clubs and dinners in town.
- If you’re debating a private transfer $$…..I’d absolutely do it again.

Other Places I’d Recommend
There are a few other places around Capri and the Amalfi Coast that I’ve either loved on previous trips or are at the very top of my list for next time.
Beach Clubs
Da Luigi ai Faraglioni (Capri)
If you can’t get a reservation at La Fontelina, this would be my next choice. It’s right next door, the setting is just as beautiful, and they recently updated all of their loungers and umbrellas. I’d absolutely spend the day here, then walk over to La Fontelina if you have a lunch reservation.
Restaurants
Zuma Capri
Located at Capri Palace Jumeirah in Anacapri, Zuma is one of the most iconic dinner spots on the island. If you’re looking for something a little more modern than traditional Italian (think Japanese-inspired dining), this would be a great option for sunset drinks or dinner and one we want to try next time!
Da Paolino (Capri)
Dining beneath the famous lemon trees is such a quintessential Capri experience. I did it the last time I was there and it’s one of the island’s most iconic restaurants. Absolutely worth experiencing at least once.
Aurora Capri
Another Capri classic that’s known for its lively atmosphere, celebrity sightings, and incredible pizza. It’s been around forever and my sis, Maddie and I ate there our first trip – was delicious!
Conca del Sogno (Nerano)
We didn’t make it here this trip, but could be fun for next time. I’ve heard the food is incredible, the seafood is a must, and it’s one of the most fun lunch spots to boat over to from Capri. If you’re looking for one of those long Italian lunches that can easily turn into an afternoon of music, dancing, and not wanting to leave…this seems to be the place.
Hotels
Hotel Quisisana (Capri)
If staying right in Capri town is more your style than Anacapri, Hotel Quisisana would be at the top of my list. Even if you aren’t staying there, I’d still recommend stopping in for pre-dinner drinks and people-watching—it quickly became one of my favorite little traditions before dinner.
Le Sirenuse (Positano)
I’ve stayed here before, and it’s every bit as incredible as people say. If you have the time (and the budget), I’d absolutely add one or two nights in Positano and stay here to round out the trip. The service, views, and overall experience are unforgettable. And the breakfast is 1000% the best I’ve ever witnessed in my life. You’ll see!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Capri worth staying overnight?
Absolutely. We met a few girls who came just for the day, but they had wished they were staying longer.
How many nights should I spend in Capri?
Three nights felt perfect for us, but if we could do four, we probably would’ve!
It gave us enough time to enjoy the hotels, spend full days at beach clubs, get our dinner reservations in, and still explore the island without feeling rushed.
Capri or Amalfi?
Honestly…both.
They each offer something completely different. Capri feels a little more lively with beach clubs, shopping, and restaurants. Amalfi feels slower and more relaxed.
If you can split your time between both, I’d definitely recommend it.
Is La Fontelina worth it?
Without question.
It’s still one of my favorite places I’ve ever been. Remember to book in advance.
Are private boat transfers worth the money?
They’re definitely a splurge… like a lot of euro lol.
But if it’s within your budget—or you’re pregnant and get seasick like I do 😂—I’d absolutely do it again. I learned my lesson with ferries in Greece, and I’ll tell ya what: it’s not for me.
Is the Amalfi Coast a good babymoon destination?
I honestly can’t think of many places I’d recommend more. The FOOD, the water, the vibes. All things point to yes for me.
Did you bring all your prenatal supplements with you and which vitamins are you taking while pregnant?
Great question, and yes! We brought all of our supplements in the same container we use at home – similar to this one. I have a blog post with All the Supplements I Take as a Dietitian and you can read it here.
Would I Recommend the Amalfi Coast for a Babymoon?
100%.
Looking back, I actually think it was the perfect destination vs. Mallorca.
The pace naturally encourages you to slow down, which was exactly what I wanted at 22 weeks pregnant. We weren’t trying to check off landmarks or race from one town to another. Instead, our days revolved around good food, swimming, beautiful hotels, and enjoying wherever we happened to be.
I also never felt like I was missing out because I wasn’t drinking. It’s rare when I do drink, not pregnant, but I tend to get asked that question from time to time so thought I’d answer. Every restaurant had great mocktail options, afternoons were spent by the water, and honestly, I was usually ready for bed before anyone else anyway lol.
If you’re looking for a relaxing babymoon that still feels special, I’d absolutely recommend the Amalfi Coast.
Final Thoughts
Looking back, I genuinely wouldn’t change much about this Italy babymoon itinerary.
I felt like being able to do the Amalfi Coast a second time was so incredible and I’m so grateful I was able to show Bridger all my favorite spots. It ended up being the perfect mix of exploring some of our favorite places while still leaving plenty of time to slow down and actually enjoy where we were.
If you’re planning a trip and have any questions I didn’t answer here, leave them in the comments or send me a DM on Instagram. I’m always happy to share what’s worked for us.
I hope this guide helps you plan a trip you absolutely love 🤍
