AMALFI RESORT - STEEPED IN ITALIAN HERITAGE

 

Nestled by Geographe Bay – Amalfi Resort Busselton has a rich Mediterranean history

 

 

The Resort was built almost 20 years ago by a group of legendary Italians with a passion for tourism.  Their Italian heritage inspired the name Amalfi, after the famous Amalfi Coast in Italy.  The similarities are worth noting – our Resort is also built by one of the most striking coastlines in Australia.  Sparkling azure waters and a Mediterranean climate, it is truly a playground for the young at heart!

For those that aren’t aware – here is a little bit of background to one of the most stunning coastlines in the world - the Amalfi Coast, Italy.

Old movie buffs may recall the 1963 Old Hollywood Movie ‘Escape to Campania’ which starred the likes of Humphrey Bogart and Jennifer Jones – a classic cult movie set in the now famous (and sometimes infanmous) Hotel Le Sirenuse in Positano.  Positano is arguably by far the most picturesque towns on the Coast.



The pools scene from one of my favourite chick flicks that took centre stage in the same place is ‘Only You’ starring the talented Robert Downey Jnr and Marissa Tomei – this movie is all about  “trovare il tuo destino”… finding your destiny!

Another interesting note about the Amalfi Coast is that it is famous for it’s lemons and of course the smooth silky taste of their iconic Limoncello Liquer.


If the Accommodation and Service at Amalfi Resort in Busselton are the STARS….our lemon trees planted here originally are the STAGE!  Our lemon trees are strong, healthy and produce an abundance of bright yellow sweet fruit like you’ve never seen!  

You can pick them from your stroll around the gardens or if you are lucky – you may have them dangling in front of your balcony.  Our guests are encouraged to pick lemons to add some extra flavour to their ice cold drinks and to take a bag home with them to pass on to family and friends.

The experience at Amalfi Resort Busselton is something a little special and now you have a little background as to why.  Easy your weary bones and envelop in the most comfortable beds you’ve ever slept in.

Come visit us and experience this little touch of Italia!

Travel Makes You Modest

  TRAVEL MAKES ONE MODEST. YOU SEE WHAT A TINY PLACE YOU OCCUPY IN THE WORLD. -      Gustauve Flaubert   We came across this quote while looking for inspiration for a promo at work, mission accomplished. For those fellow Wanderluster’s out there – you will know the feeling well.   Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is a negative suggestion, it is a pure statement to explain that we are one small but amazing part of a much bigger picture. There are literally thousands of aspects I love about travelling that I’m sure many of you can identify with.   Smells, sounds, space, no space, wild extremes in weather patterns, architecture, history, landscapes, culture, mouthwatering produce and the people. Where there is people, there is CONNECTION.   This connection comes from the ultimate fact that we are all someone’s son or daughter, father or mother, grandfather or grandmother, friend or lover. I find great excitement in that no matter where I am in the world, we are all part o

  At Amalfi Resort, we are all ‘Wanderlusters’…. Sounds a bit naughty doesn’t it! As I’ve written above, wanderlust means that you have a strong desire to see the world, discover and experience life outside your urban environment.   Just sounds pretty awesome now doesn’t it!
