In a fusion of cultures, the Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat offers a taste of Greece in the heart of the Middle East. Nestled in Ghantoot, midway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this new resort brings the iconic white buildings and stunning views of Santorini to the UAE.
The hotel features 22 rooms designed to mirror the architecture of Santorini, with spacious interiors, sun-drenched terraces, and panoramic sea views. Adults seeking a tranquil escape can indulge in the exclusivity of this adults-only retreat, with room rates starting at approximately $735 per night. The resort also caters to exclusive events like weddings and corporate gatherings.
To capture the essence of Santorini, the Anantara design team drew inspiration from the Greek island itself. Room interiors boast natural earth tones, barrel ceilings, and terraces reminiscent of the Greek Isles. Guests can enjoy 24/7 butler service and a range of activities, including snorkeling outings and beach picnics.
The property’s highlights include a private beach, an outdoor pool overlooking the Gulf, and an indoor cinema offering private screenings with custom gourmet cuisine. Guests can also indulge in bespoke spa treatments in beachside cabanas.
The Anantara brand, known for its tranquil properties in destinations like Phuket and Bali, marks its continued expansion in the region with this new offering. The resort is part of Minor Hotels, a global hospitality company with a portfolio of 530 hotels and resorts across the globe.
