Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel Invites Guests to Unwrap Magic with a Series of Enchanting Festive Celebrations

Amalfi, Italy - November 7, 2024 – As the holiday season approaches, Anantara Convento di Amalfi Hotel welcomes guests with a calendar brimming with festive gatherings, experiences and events. The only five-star hotel in the area to remain open during the end-of-year holidays, Anantara Convento sets the standard for an unforgettable Christmas and New Year on the Amalfi Coast.

The festivities begin with a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday November 28, 2024. Diners will enjoy a traditional American feast, including stuffed turkey with all the trimmings, cornbread and pumpkin cheesecake. The memorable evening includes live music and a cosy bonfire in the cloisters.

The feasting continues with a seafood dinner on Christmas Eve, a celebratory lunch on Christmas Day and an exquisite soiree on New Year’s Eve, beginning with an aperitivo at Dei Cappuccini Bar, followed by an indulgent feast on Dei Cappuccini Terrace and fireworks at midnight. All festive dinners include wine pairing. 

Throughout the season, from December 6 to January 6, delectable delights are available as Dei Cappuccini Bar serves an elegant festive afternoon tea. To accompany a selection of fine infusions, sweet and savor bites include Neapolitan Pastiera, lemon cake, scones with butter and local anchovies, and Gragnano panuozzo – a traditional product of Campania.

From Friday December 6 to Sunday December 8, the hotel’s historic cloister comes alive with a charming Christmas market featuring delicacies and delights from Amalfi’s artisans – the perfect opportunity to find unique gifts, indulge in festive treats and sip warm mulled wine.

Connecting the hotel’s history as a Capuchin convent, an amaro masterclass led by Anantara Insider and Franciscan friar Marcus offers guests the chance to explore flavor and culture. As a selection of four Italian amaro liqueurs are served – each paired with a canape prepared by Chef Claudio Lanuto – Friar Marcus shares the stories of the monks who brewed medicinal liquor with healing properties from the herbs grown in the grounds that surround the hotel. 

For guests seeking relaxation, Anantara Spa presents a selection of blissful treatments designed for the holiday season. Options for couples include a candlelit journey with side-by-side massages and facials and a hammam ritual crafted to harmonise body and soul. For solo revitailzation, the Bliss Retreat combines breathwork and a luxurious facial, and the Vitality and Regeneration journey blends a hand-and-foot ritual with essential oils.
