The glamorous social event for the international jet set on the Blue Island
Every year, at the end of May, the island of Capri transforms into the stage for the most exclusive social event of the season: the Capri VIP Champion. Conceived by Giuliano Annigliato and produced by the 361onDemand network, the event brings together the international jet set, sports champions, entrepreneurs, and well-known faces from the entertainment world for three days in the legendary setting of the Grand Hotel Quisisana, just a few steps from the famous Piazzetta. In 2026, the event celebrated its sixteenth edition, confirming its status as one of the benchmark glamorous events in the Municipality of Capri and the entire Campania region.
The Capri VIP Champion format effortlessly combines sports, high society, and charity. Days are divided between moments of relaxation and outdoor activities, while evenings light up the island with live music, DJ sets, and cocktail parties. The beating heart of the event remains the Grand Hotel Quisisana, a symbol of Capri's charm and hospitality, overlooking the Faraglioni and the Bay of Marina Piccola, with some events also taking place in the Piazzetta and other iconic locations like the Villa Verde restaurant.
The Capri VIP Champion enjoys extensive media coverage: live social media updates, stories, reports, and dedicated television broadcasts, with the participation of magazines and outlets such as 361Magazine, 361TV, and the weekly magazine Chi. Over the years, the event has attracted numerous personalities from the worlds of television, sports, and business, helping to maintain Capri's reputation as the Italian capital of summer high society.
Hosting such an event in Capri means choosing one of the most evocative places in the Mediterranean: the Piazzetta, the Gardens of Augustus, the Faraglioni, and the breathtaking views of the Blue Island provide a natural backdrop for an event that, beyond the glamour, celebrates the beauty and identity of this unique corner of the Province of Naples and Campania.
The sixteenth edition of the Capri VIP Champion took place from May 29 to 31, 2026, in the heart of Capri, based at the Grand Hotel Quisisana with events spread between the Piazzetta and the Villa Verde restaurant. The opening on Friday, May 29, lit up the Piazzetta with the cameras of the dedicated television broadcast and hosting duties entrusted to personalities from the entertainment world.
As per tradition, the program alternated daytime activities dedicated to sports and relaxation with evenings of live music and DJ sets. Among the highlights were the tennis tournament, football matches with former champions and well-known football personalities, and the "Kitchen Challenge," the culinary competition that crowned the "Best Gnocco/a" of 2026. The event, produced by 361onDemand, confirmed Capri as the capital of summer high society.
Capri is accessible by sea from Naples (Molo Beverello and Calata Porta di Massa) and from Sorrento via frequent hydrofoils and ferries. From the port of Marina Grande, you can reach the town center by funicular or taxi. The Grand Hotel Quisisana is located in the heart of the town, just a short walk from the Piazzetta.
The event traditionally takes place at the end of May, at the beginning of the Capri summer season.
The Capri VIP Champion is a social event reserved for invited guests and the protagonists involved; however, some public moments, such as the evenings in the Piazzetta, bring life to the center of the island. For official information, please refer to the organizers' website.
