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

In the heart of this monastic retreat, Anantara Spa offers relaxing and beautifying therapies that draw inspiration from the convent’s historic residents throughout the centuries. The 1,345 sq. ft. travertine-clad retreat features a hammam, two couples' 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, holistic wellness experiences and highly trained experts in a serene sanctuary with Mediterranean views.

SIGNATURE SPA JOURNEYS CREATE UNIQUELY BLISSFUL EXPERIENCES

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 beautiful 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- energizes the skin and senses. Finally, a mini facial deeply cleanses and hydrates.

Anantara Spa proudly partners with Valmont to offer guests luxurious skincare featuring formulas enriched with Alpine ingredients. With a legacy dating back to the early 1900's, 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 delicate 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 moisturizing 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 powerful Firm-C Boost concentrate. This ultra-relaxing, 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 stunning scenic walks including The Path of the Gods – a spectacular 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.
