Overlooking the sapphireblue sea, this luxurious pleasure spot on the eastern side of the island is where the Emperor Tiberius held parties and orgies, and, when tired of friend or foe, flung them over the cliffs into the sea. Fortunately, this spot is now the epitome of calm!
BEST FOR: Although a serious medical spa, this can pamper with the best of them. It's particularly famous for the unique Leg School, where the likes of Elizabeth Hurley, Gwyneth Paltrow and even Ronaldo have tripped through icy pools, and endured cold mud treatments and underwater massages to keep their pins perfect.
AFTER SPA: There's the rest of Capri to explore, and the unmissable Blue Grotto.
GO WITH: Though the setting is romantic, it's probably best to come with a good chum and really focus on the body beautiful.
COST: The Leg School for seven nights, on full board, is approx £3,638, although individual treatments start at a more affordable £34. A medical checkup is approx £103, and an antiwrinkle facial approx £128. One of the newest treatments, the Global Posture Reeducation, which relieves back pain through treatment and exercise, is approx £116. Elegant Resorts offers a threenight stay for £945, including flights and transfers.
