Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel

Opened in Spring 2023 and recently named one of TIME’S World’s Greatest Places and included in Travel + Leisure’s 2024 It List; Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is set in a 13th-century Capuchin convent built into a cliffside overlooking the Mediterranean. The hotel’s setting invites guests to experience a taste of convent life by exploring the cloisters, strolling the meditative Monks’ Walk and enjoying dishes made with fresh produce grown in the monks’ garden.

Anantara Spa

In the heart of this retreat, Anantara Spa offers therapies that draw inspiration from the convent’s historic residents throughout the centuries. The 125-square-metre, travertine-clad retreat features a hammam, two couple’s rooms with saunas and steam room and dedicated relaxation areas. Anantara Spa at Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel invites guests and visitors to experience signature treatments featuring citrus products from its lemon groves, wellness experiences and trained experts in a sanctuary with Mediterranean views.

The Anantara Spa Signature Journey begins with a local hammam ritual. Hot water opens the pores as an expert therapist applies traditional soap made with local lemons. Next, a healing Anantara massage eliminates toxins and creates a sense of calm, and the experience concludes with a luxurious Valmont facial to restore beautiful skin. For guests looking to harness the healing energies and benefits of this setting, the Convento Di Amalfi Journey connects guests with the coast. A scrub with natural sources of vitamin C is followed by an aromatherapy massage using a combination of citrus oils to re-energise the skin and senses. Finally, a mini facial deeply cleanses and hydrates.

Anantara Spa has also partnered with Valmont to offer guests skincare featuring formulas enriched with Alpine ingredients. With a legacy dating back to the early 1900s, the pioneering Swiss clinic has perfected beauty in a series of treatments inspired by European nature, now available in Amalfi. Facial therapies include Hydration of the Bisses, a massage of slow, circular stroking techniques around the lymphatic circuit that improves fluid flow in the skin and introduces Valmont’s signature triple DNA, hyaluronic acid and other moisturising ingredients to increase the skin’s moisture by 83.1% after just one treatment. The massage is followed by a collagen mask to restore vibrant, supple, and re-plumped skin. Firmness of the Hills cleanses, sculpts, and defines the face with Valmont’s Firm-C Boost concentrate. This cutting-edge treatment improves skin firmness to reveal a younger-looking face.

Set amid rolling hills and sparkling blue waters, Anantara Spa invites guests to explore holistic wellness through a range of experiences that celebrate local nature and culture. Surrounding countryside beckons hikers of all abilities with scenic walks including The Path of the Gods – a trek along the Lattari Mountains, which takes in views of charming Praiano village, the Sorrentine Peninsula, Li Galli Archipelago and the island of Capri in the distance. Alternatively, the trail through La Valle Dei Mulini features nature and history as it follows the river past the Paper Mill Museum on a road lined with lemon trees and waterfalls. With its quiet cloisters, cliffside pathways and lemon-scented gardens, Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is a destination well suited to wellness. Guests can lengthen and strengthen while focusing on breathing and balance in guided yoga sessions overlooking the Mediterranean or in the serene cloisters. The hotel’s resident expert on the philosophy of pace e bene – “peace and all that is good” is Franciscan Friar Marcus, who leads meditation experiences in the beautiful grounds.
