Perched on the breathtaking cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, the Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel heralds the start of its second summer season with a promise of beauty, wellness, and exquisite cuisine. Once a 13th-century Capuchin convent, this iconic establishment stands as a testament to timeless elegance and modern luxury. Each of the 52 rooms and suites, many originally crafted as monastic dwellings, exudes serene simplicity with original tiles, vaulted ceilings, and whitewashed walls, seamlessly blending with rich fabrics, sculptural furnishings, local art, and high-tech comforts. The Priory Suite, adorned with frescoes and overlooking the cloister, and the Hermit Suite, offering aromatic romance within a tranquil lemon grove, exemplify the hotel’s unique charm.
At the heart of this retreat lies the award-winning Anantara Spa, a sanctuary of tranquillity and spirituality enveloped in travertine stone with stunning sea views. Here, expert therapists use lemon essence, citrus oils, and luxurious Valmont products to revitalize body and mind. Spanning 125 square meters, the spa features hammams, saunas, steam rooms, couple’s treatment rooms, and relaxation areas. The outdoor fitness centre, with premium Technogym equipment, and the newly renovated cliffside pool provide invigorating wellness experiences. This season introduces new treatments like the Anantara Spa Signature Journey, which begins with a hammam ritual reminiscent of ancient Roman baths, using traditional lemon soap, a healing massage and a luxurious Valmont facial.
Culinary delights await at the Dei Cappuccini restaurant, where Executive Chef Claudio Lanuto presents a new future-heritage concept, blending innovation with tradition. Fresh seasonal ingredients from the convent’s garden shine in à-la-carte dishes and tasting menus, paired with wines and the exclusive Limoncello Experience dei Cappuccini. At Locanda della Canonica Pizzeria, Gino Sorbillo, a global pizza ambassador, crafts gourmet pizzas that take diners on a gastronomic journey through Campania. The new “Pizza del Convento,” created by Chef Lanuto and Sorbillo, features ancient grain flour, Slow Food-certified alacce, zucchini flowers, black olive powder, smoked provola, and Amalfi lemons, offering a taste of monastic tradition.
Anantara enriches its guests’ stay with unique local experiences. Friar Marcus, a key figure, brings the monastic history to life, guiding visitors through the ancient convent, church, and beautiful cloisters. From Amalfi’s cultural and natural wonders, like the spectacular Sentiero degli Dei trail and private tours of Pompeii and Herculaneum, to culinary adventures in lemon groves or historic vineyards, the hotel offers many immersive activities. Designer Dining provides couples with bespoke menus served by a private butler in stunning locations, while vintage car or tuk-tuk tours along the Amalfi Coast, private helicopter flights, and romantic sunset cruises along the coast ensure unforgettable memories.
At Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel, every moment is an invitation to embrace the extraordinary, where the past and present harmonize to create a summer of unparalleled beauty, wellness, and culinary delight.
