A luxury hospitality brand for modern travellers, Anantara connects guests to genuine places, people and stories through personal experiences and providing heartfelt hospitality in the world’s most exciting destinations.

Originally a 13th-century monastery, with architectural elements still visible today, the five-star luxury rated Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is a fine example of a sympathetically refurbished monument. It scores just as highly when it comes to location. It’s perched on top of an 80-meter cliff, with spectacular views of the Amalfi coast. But it’s also only 5 minutes’ walk from Amalfi’s harbor and town center.

Completely renovated in 2023, almost all of our 52 rooms look directly out to sea. The hotel has 2 first-class restaurants: the main restaurant, Dei Cappuccini, serves an Italian and Mediterranean inspired menu made up of gourmet dishes and The La Locanda della Canonica – Pizzeria by Gino the perfect choice for an informal lunch in a suggestive setting, enjoying tasting pizzas created by the famous, Neapolitan, pizza-master Gino Sorbillo. There is also an infinity outdoor pool, a free panoramic gym and a SPA.

Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is the perfect wedding location with unique spaces such as the cloister, the private church and the panoramic terraces.

This key position will serve as the primary point of contact for our guests, ensuring all their needs are met and every aspect of their stay exceeds expectations.
