Anantara has opened the Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel, a 13th-century cliffside Capuchin convent on one of Italy’s most popular and alluring coasts.
Renovated rooms and suites
Just a 15-minute walk from the centre of Amalfi and 90 minutes’ drive from Naples International Airport, and following extensive renovations, Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel welcomes guests with elegantly renovated rooms and suites, exciting dining concepts and a world-class spa.
Original cloisters and a Baroque church
The 52 guest rooms and suites – many of which were first built as monks’ quarters – feature original tiles and vaulted ceilings that blend with rich textiles, sculptural furniture, local art, high-tech comforts and Mediterranean views. The restoration of the 800-year-old building carefully preserves historic features such as an ornate cloister and a Baroque church.
A spa and fine dining
Award-winning Anantara Spa finds a unique new setting in a travertine-clad serene space overlooking the sea where expert therapists offer healing journeys including the property’s signature Convento Di Amalfi citrus oil massage. Executive Chef Claudio Lanuto introduces a convent kitchen concept at the Dei Cappuccini Restaurant, with à la carte, convent-inspired dishes and sensory tasting menus. In the Locanda della Canonica Pizzeria, pizza master Gino Sorbillo invites diners to savour the tantalizing flavours of the region.
Adventures with local guides
Further culinary adventures include cooking classes in a lemon grove or historic vineyard and Anantara’s signature private dining experience, Dining by Design, with personalized menus, and served by private butler in stunning settings. True to its dedication to destination, Anantara offers unique experiences with local guides, spanning culture, nature, gastronomy and beyond.
