The Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat presents itself as a miniature Cycladic island. With 22 Greek-inspired accommodations, an idyllic spa, and two exquisite restaurants, this adults-only resort is primarily synonymous with upscale relaxation and secluded togetherness. A paradise beach and infinity pool invite you to relax, while creative workshops such as blending your own perfume or cocktail offer charming variety against a fairytale backdrop – where the spirit of Arabia embraces the aesthetics of the Aegean.
With just 22 rooms and suites for adults only, this retreat is entirely focused on relaxation, tranquility, and togetherness. Each retreat is inspired by the timeless architectural aesthetics of Santorini. Gently curved, bright white walls, furniture in warm beige and gray tones, elegant stone floors, and light wood paneling with a slight nautical touch create a maritime ambience where time seems to stand still. The luxurious Royal Santorini Duplex Suite with a double balcony, private gym, walk-in closet, and private sauna is the pinnacle of luxury and perfect for an unforgettable honeymoon.
The Mediterranean restaurant Thalassa, with its glass architecture, offers breathtaking views of the sea and creates a harmonious connection between nature and design with its sculptural elements. At Oia Oasis, Arabian opulence and modern ambience merge to create a setting for sophisticated hospitality. The attention to detail is reflected not only in the presentation, but also in the impeccable service, which makes every moment unforgettable, from the early morning coffee ceremony to the elegant dinner.
Enjoy the Arabian sun by the magnificent infinity pool, with an olive tree growing in the middle, or sip a cocktail at the bar. Inside, you'll find a well-equipped fitness room and a fabulous spa with a Moroccan hammam, steam bath, sauna, and massage rooms for couples. After a relaxing treatment, you can create your own fragrance at an Arabic perfume workshop or invent a new drink at a mixology class. Water sports such as glass kayaking, snorkeling, or stand-up paddleboarding on the gentle sea offer unforgettable adventures before you crown your day with a bag of popcorn and a good movie in the in-house cinema.
On a secluded stretch of coastline between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the elegant Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat unfolds like a gentle dream—a tribute to the timeless beauty of the Cyclades, just a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Once a private residence, the boutique resort still exudes a very special intimacy that envelops every guest. As the sun sinks below the horizon and bathes the immaculate white, curved facades in a soft gold, you will inevitably feel transported by the magic of a Greek island. The authenticity of the architecture and the attention to detail make everyday life fade away, while the air is filled with a hint of sea salt and jasmine.
