Jumeirah Capri Palace: Season Relaunch and New Programmes

Ferry and hydrofoil timetables to Capri will be stepped up from 16 April 2026 to match the reopening of Jumeirah Capri Palace, with coordinated shuttle runs from Marina Grande to Anacapri and priority berthing slots for provisioning vessels delivering fresh produce and wine to the hotel.

Operational notes and arrival logistics

Between port operations and hotel check-in peaks, local transport providers have agreed to staggered docking windows to ease the flow of guests and suppliers. Catering freighters and refrigerated launches will be scheduled outside peak passenger arrivals to reduce quay congestion, while luggage shuttles will operate on a timed schedule aligned with ferries and private yacht arrivals. If you're chartering a yacht to arrive the same day, plan to berth early: the hotel’s transfer team recommends arrivals no later than midday to allow for customs, tendering and an unhurried check-in.

Quick facts table

Culinary programme: Four-hands dinners and guest chefs

The season brings an expanded calendar of four-hands dinners featuring internationally recognised Michelin-starred chefs collaborating with the hotel’s resident culinary team. Anchoring these events is Il Ristorante L’Olivo, the only two-Michelin-starred restaurant on Capri, where curated tasting menus and intimate seatings will create one-off culinary moments.

Pierre Hermé returns for a second consecutive year to curate dessert offerings, this time drawing inspiration from Caprese tradition and local ingredients — think lemon, figs and fresh ricotta, played out with a pastry maestro's signature flair.

What this means for boaters and charter guests

• Advance reservations for moorings and transfers strongly advised on weekends and during guest-chef evenings.
• Culinary events may include limited-capacity shore shuttles—book transfers with the hotel concierge or your charter operator.
• Provision runs for private yachts should be scheduled 24–48 hours ahead to sync with hotel supply windows.

Wellbeing: Capri Medical Spa and signature treatments

The Capri Medical Spa continues to position itself among Europe’s top medical-wellness destinations under the direction of Dr. Chantal Sciuto. The spa blends personalised holistic programmes with clinically informed procedures, including its signature Leg School® treatment designed for improved circulation and a lighter feel in the legs — especially welcome after long days exploring the island or standing on deck.

Il Riccio x Dioriviera: lifestyle and boutique on the terrace

Dioriviera returns to Il Riccio for summer 2026, transforming the terrace into a curated pop-up that complements the island’s light and landscape. For guests arriving by yacht or charter, the pop-up provides a tasteful Caprese shopping and dining moment framed by the sea—perfect for a late-afternoon stop between anchorages.

Seasonal highlights

• Pop-up boutique on the terrace with limited-edition pieces.
• Sunset lunches and aperitivi that align with tender schedules.
• Coordinated late-shore returns for charter guests to avoid rush-hour crossings.

Art and cultural partnerships

Art remains central to the hotel’s identity. The longstanding collaboration with Galleria Continua continues, and a new temporary exhibition opens in April. The hotel also renews ties with Festival del Paesaggio, conceived and curated by Arianna Rosica and Gianluca Riccio, and will establish an annual award for participating artists. Selected works by prize recipients Masbedo and Clarissa Baldassarri will enter or be exhibited within the hotel — a cultural itinerary that complements leisurely afternoons spent on board or exploring Capri’s lanes.

Art on display

• Masbedo: two works (one accessioned into the permanent collection).
• Clarissa Baldassarri: a single work added to the permanent collection.

Design refresh and outdoor spaces

Patricia Urquiola’s recent redesign extends from interiors to pool and bar areas. The new Mariorita Suites feature bespoke furnishings and natural materials that echo the coastline; outdoor terraces and the Bar degli Artisti are now framed by a lush Caprese garden and Palladian flooring. These spaces lend themselves well to private gatherings for charter groups and sunset cocktails ashore — a seamless extension of yachting social life.

Practical tips for mariners

• Book moorings and tender times well in advance for evenings when special events are scheduled.
• Coordinate provisioning with the hotel’s logistics desk to avoid congested arrival windows.
• Consider overnight berthing at local marinas to fully enjoy late-night dining and cultural programmes.

Wrap-up: Jumeirah Capri Palace’s 16 April 2026 relaunch combines high-end gastronomy, medical-wellness, art and refined design with operational planning that touches ports, provision vessels and guest transfers. For charterers and sailors, the season’s highlights—from Michelin collaborations at Il Ristorante L’Olivo to the Dioriviera pop-up at Il Riccio—mean booking ahead for moorings, transfers and dinner slots. The hotel’s art partnerships and Patricia Urquiola’s refreshed spaces offer island-style luxury that dovetails neatly with yachting life: yacht owners, captains and guests will find opportunities for beachside dining, marina nights, fishing trips, clearwater swims and tailored activities that celebrate the sea, sun and Capri’s unique character. Whether planning a charter, a day sail to the gulf or an overnight stay, keep the logistics in mind and the itinerary flexible — as they say, smooth sailing makes for the best stories.
