Jumeirah Capri Palace has introduced five new suites, designed by Patricia Urquiola, each offering views of the Bay of Naples and the hotel’s stylish pool.
Designed to invite the island inside, each suite reflects Capri’s essence and easy living. Urquiola’s redesign extends beyond the suites, bringing the same sense of place to the hotel’s pool and bar areas.
Inspired by the idyllic island environment, the Spanish-born architect – whose design philosophy is deeply rooted in nature and cultural heritage – worked with a colour palette of warm terracotta, soft whites and vivid blues.
To mimic the gentle motion of waves against Capri’s cliffs, Urquiola used undulating Cimento plaster to craft ripples in the walls and custom-designed furniture with organic curves. This harmony extends to the materials used – Palladian flooring, a tribute to Capri’s architectural heritage, stretches through the lounge, while handcrafted Vietri tiles dress the plinths, the walls, floors and furniture, celebrating the region’s tradition of craftsmanship.
The five new suites are distinguished by three different categories. The Junior Suite Anacapri View captures the island’s quiet elegance in a soft palette of terracotta, blues and whites, with fluid spaces that invite natural light and evoke a sense of calm.
The Suite Terrace Pool Side brings an immersive experience, surrounded by greenery and generous terraces that extend the living space into the landscape and invite a deeper connection to nature.
Finally, the Deluxe Suite Terrace builds on this harmony with a seamless dialogue between indoor and outdoor living as the Palladian floors and expansive terraces frame the surrounding landscape with understated elegance.
Beyond the suites, Urquiola has also reimagined the hotel’s outdoor spaces. A lush Caprese garden now frames the Bar degli Artisti, the pool bar and the newly landscaped lounge terrace, all unified by Palladian flooring and a palette inspired by sea and stone.
The area also features textured surfaces, organic forms that echo the coastline, and ceramic-clad structures that pay homage to local craftsmanship. With a curated blend of materials, from rattan to glazed terracotta, and custom marble furnishings that nod to Villa San Michele, the result is a timeless celebration of island life.
“For the renovation of the suites, pool area, and outdoor bar at Jumeirah Capri Palace, I wanted to pay homage to the soul of Anacapri; its luminous essence, its organic elegance, its layered history,” says Urquiola.
“Each suite is conceived as a serene microcosm, where tactile materials, natural light, and fluid forms evoke both comfort and Mediterranean sophistication, creating a continuous relation between indoor and outdoor. The pool area and outdoor bar extend this dialogue, merging architecture and landscape, offering guests a suspended moment between sea and sky. This project was about honouring the spirit of the place while creating new memories through design.”
