Sun, Sand, Spaghetti, Repeat
Capri — by way of Turkey.
Welcome to Book It!, our monthly look at a buzzy new hotel or resort we're excited about.
Ultra-luxe hotel D Maris Bay is turning up the heat by importing a piece of Italy’s dining royalty. Say ciao to Aurora, Capri’s oldest (and most iconic) restaurant, that just landed on the shores of the Aegean.
What to Know:
Picture this: A five-star hotel, the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas twinkling in the distance and a UV-ray index over 10. Now add a legendary Italian menu that’s charmed celebs and locals alike for over 120 years. That’s the magic of Aurora — just with a Turkish twist and a passport stamp you didn’t see coming.
Seasonal ingredients? Check. Classic Italian staples? Of course. Insta-worthy plates? You know it. Whether you’re a pasta purist or just here for the limoncello, you’ll leave planning your next reservation before dessert hits the table.
Aurora is the reason to promptly book a vacation to D Maris Bay (though the white-sand beaches, sun-bleached terraces and swoon-worthy interiors help, too). Experience Capri, minus the flight. Whether you’re here for a taste of Italy or an aesthetic Instagram feed, it’s worth the trip.
Sunshine, spaghetti and a passport stamp? Don’t mind if you do.
