Minori's New Arena del Mare: The Amalfi Coast's Freshest Summer Venue for 2026
A brand-new beachfront stage in Minori runs concerts and theatre through August, closing with Minori in White.
What is Arena del Mare, and where is it in Minori?
Minori has launched Arena del Mare, a new beachfront venue holding its first season of concerts, theatre, comedy, dance and food events through August 2026, first reported by Napoli Village and confirmed by Positano Notizie, Il Vescovado, and Radio Alfa in the last week of July. It's a genuinely new piece of infrastructure for the town, not a rebrand of an existing piazza event — Minori didn't have a dedicated events venue of this kind before this summer.
The town itself sits between Maiori and Ravello, a stop most coast itineraries skip past on the way to bigger names — this is one more reason to slow down there.
What's on the program, and when is Minori in White?
Arena del Mare's first season runs roughly from mid-August through the end of the month, mixing live music, theatre, stand-up comedy and dance nights. It builds toward the town's flagship event, the 15th edition of Minori in White, themed around "La grande bellezza" this year, held on 26 August 2026.
A season pass is available for anyone planning to catch several evenings rather than a single show, alongside single-event tickets.
Getting to Minori and buying tickets
Tickets are sold at the Arena del Mare box office, at Travelmar ferry sale points along the coast, and online through ETES, GO2, and TicketOne. That ferry-point detail matters practically: Travelmar boats connect Minori to Amalfi, Positano, Salerno, and Sorrento through the summer, making a ferry-plus-ticket combo one of the simplest ways to reach an evening show without driving the coast road after dark.
The SITA bus along the SS163 also stops in Minori from both Amalfi and Salerno directions, useful on evenings when the last ferry back doesn't line up with a show's end time.
