From convent to luxury spa. Once a place of reflection and prayer, today the Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel represents an elegant fusion between the spirituality of the past and modern luxury. This ancient 13th-century convent, built perched over the Mediterranean, has transformed its ascetic atmosphere into an exclusive wellness sanctuary, while keeping its aura of peace and serenity intact. The historical environments of the convent, such as the cloisters and the old monks’ cells, now welcome guests in luxurious suites, where monastic simplicity meets refined details and precious materials. The contrast between spiritual tranquility and opulent comfort emerges in every corner: from the warm travertine of the spa to the fragrant lemon gardens, which invite reflection and relaxation. The wellness experiences offered by the spa are enriched by this unique charm, taking guests on a journey between history and modernity, where the ancient walls convey a sense of peace and contemplation, while holistic treatments, such as the hammam and aromatherapy massage, offer regenerating comfort in the shadow of past spirituality.
The establishment has opened its doors, welcoming its guests into elegantly renovated rooms and suites after restoration work on the 800-year-old building, which has carefully preserved the historical features of the place, including the cloisters and the baroque church, complete with marble altar and majolica floor. The original materials and colors of the facade have been carefully conserved. The interior design is inspired by the convent and the simple, artisanal life of the monks who inhabited this place for centuries, with natural materials—woods, leathers, natural fibers, and metals—enriched by luxury details that distinguish the Anantara brand. The hotel, with a total of 52 rooms and suites, also hosts the gourmet restaurant Dei Cappuccini curated by Executive Chef Claudio Lanuto, the pizzeria La Locanda della Canonica by Gino Sorbillo, the second Italian Anantara Spa, and a state-of-the-art outdoor panoramic gym with cutting-edge TechnoGym equipment. Furthermore, the establishment offers a large terrace with an infinity pool on the edge of the cliff and a 13th-century chapel, one of the most exclusive places on the Amalfi Coast. anantara-hotels.com
