Jumeirah Capri Palace introduces five new suites, designed by architect Patricia Urquiola, each offering views of the captivating 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.
Urquiola’s design philosophy, deeply rooted in nature and cultural heritage, finds a natural expression at Jumeirah Capri Palace. Inspired by the idyllic island environment, Urquiola 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.
Extending her poetic vision beyond the newly unveiled suites, Patricia Urquiola has 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. Light dances on textured surfaces, organic forms echo the coastline, and ceramic-clad structures 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” says the architect Patricia Urquiola “its luminous essence, its organic elegance, its layered history. 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 honoring the spirit of the place while creating new memories through design.”
Through this project, Jumeirah Capri Palace reaffirms a central aspect of its identity: a long-standing commitment to design, heritage and innovation through meaningful collaborations. The new suites complete and enrich a curated collection of exceptional, characterful spaces, each with their own distinct identity, further reinforcing the spirit of the destination.
