Maiori for family

Hey Rider Family!

If today you're in the mood for an easygoing day filled with laughter, light adventures, and plenty of sea... then Maiori is the perfect destination.

A town that manages to delight both kids and grown-ups, with wide open spaces, genuine flavors, and a holiday vibe that smells of salt and lemons.

So, are you ready to embark on a funny journey?

Walk without rushing, laugh without stopping

As soon as you land in Maiori, the sea welcomes you with a slow, deep breath and a horizon that opens like a promise.
The promenade, wide and flat, is the ideal place to start your day on the right foot.

The walk is easy, even stroller-friendly.
Kids can run freely, admire anchored boats, stop at the small playgrounds scattered along the path or, why not, hop on a family pedicab and cruise around with mom and dad through giggles and wide-eyed wonder.

A fresh lemon granita or a scoop of artisanal gelato from one of the seaside cafés is the perfect energy boost to keep going.

Then, down to the beach!

Maiori boasts the longest beach on the Amalfi Coast, with soft sand, a gentle sea slope, and plenty of space to build sandcastles, dig holes, and play tag with the waves.

The beach clubs are well-equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, changing rooms, and restaurants — a cozy corner of comfort for little and big explorers alike.

Fun fact: Just a short walk away, you’ll find more secluded coves near the port, perfect for a quieter break or a shady spot under the cliffs.

Small adventures with a view

After a morning filled with sea and sand, it’s time to head up a little, but not too much!

For a touch of magic and mystery, take a taxi up to the Castle of San Nicola de Thoro Plano.

No worries — no 700 steps today!
From the parking area, just a few steps lead you to a view that takes your breath away: Maiori stretched out below you, with the sea almost close enough to touch.

Kids can explore the castle ruins, imagine battles and pirates, while you breathe in the silence of a place filled with history and protection.

To spark their imagination: tell them that long ago, families would take shelter here during Saracen invasions — their minds will do the rest!

Final stop in the center: art, colors… and a moment of peace

Back in town and before thinking about dinner, there's one last gem to discover: the Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare, with its stunning majolica dome that glows at sunset.

Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful and full of wonder.
If your kids are curious, you can visit the small Sacred Museum together (it's a short visit). Or simply take in the colors and intricate details.

And if your little ones still have energy to burn, head to another playground in town — there are plenty of green areas where kids can play while parents enjoy a well-deserved break.
