Overview

 
Perched on a bougainvillea-draped cliff and reborn from a 13th-century convent, Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is one of the Amalfi Coast’s most atmospheric hideaways. Vaulted cloisters, lemon-scented terraces and sea-framing archways meet a shimmering infinity pool and a chic private beach deck below. Inside, minimalist-luxe rooms respect the monastery’s bones while layering in five-star comfort, refined Italian dining and quietly attentive service – all just a leisurely stroll above Amalfi’s cathedral-fronted piazza.

Arrive at Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel and the Amalfi Coast unfurls beneath you – a sweep of cobalt sea, terraced lemon groves and terracotta rooftops glimpsed through cloister arches. Days drift between the cliff-edge infinity pool, the private beach deck reached by shuttle and boat, and slow lunches on the terrace as yachts glide below. Evenings are for candlelit strolls into Amalfi, hearing church bells echo off the hills while you wander back to your 13th-century sanctuary above the town. For couples and discerning travellers seeking the Sorrento Area’s romance with a more intimate, storybook setting, Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is a standout choice. It combines monastery calm with cliffside drama, an infinity pool, and a private beach deck on the water. It’s around 1 hour 30 minutes by road from Naples Airport (NAP). See more Italy holidays.

Map & location


Amalfi (Amalfi Coast), Sorrento Area, Italy

Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel clings to the cliffs high above Amalfi, with the town’s cathedral and café-lined piazza a short walk below. From your terrace you’ll watch ferries glide in and out of the tiny port, hear church bells ring across the amphitheatre of hills and feel the timeless calm of the former monastery cloisters.

The setting is ideal if you want Amalfi’s postcard-perfect streets and restaurants within easy reach, but prefer to retreat to a quiet, exclusive sanctuary once the day-trippers have gone. Sorrento and other classic Amalfi Coast towns are within day-trip distance by road or boat, making this a strong base for wider exploration.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 30 minutes from Naples Airport (NAP), depending on traffic and seasonal conditions.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s outdoor infinity-style pool is one of its showpieces: a serene, sea-facing basin set into the cliff with loungers and parasols perfectly positioned for horizon-gazing. It’s the sort of place where you could linger all afternoon, book in hand, punctuated only by dips in the water and the occasional espresso or spritz.

Down at sea level, the private beach deck offers a completely different perspective on the coast. Open roughly from June to September and reached via a dedicated shuttle and short boat transfer, this rocky platform turned chic lido provides sunbeds, direct sea access and a sense of being cradled by cliffs and sea. Reservations are required and access is naturally weather and sea-condition dependent.

Pool towels are generally provided; opening hours and services may vary by season and hotel occupancy.

Spa, sports & wellness


In keeping with the calm, contemplative roots of the convent, the hotel offers soothing wellness spaces and discreet facilities rather than a high-energy resort set-up.

You can expect:
• Intimate treatment rooms for massages and tailored rituals (fees apply)
• Quiet terraces and gardens for yoga or private stretching (on request / seasonal)
• A small fitness area or gym-style space for basic workouts (facilities may vary)
• Lounge and library-style corners within the cloisters for reading and relaxation

The property also features lifts connecting the different levels of the former monastery, 24-hour reception and concierge to assist with restaurant reservations, boat trips, car services and bespoke experiences along the coast. Some services may be charged locally and can vary by season.

Food & drink

Dining at Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel makes the most of the views and the convent’s character. Expect refined southern Italian menus featuring fresh local seafood, handmade pastas, Amalfi lemons and regional wines served on panoramic terraces that seem to float above the sea.

Inside, vaulted ceilings, stone archways and candlelit corners create a romantic backdrop for leisurely dinners and tastings. A stylish cliffside bar and lounge continues the mood with carefully crafted aperitivi and digestivi – this is the perfect spot to watch the coastline slip from golden hour to starlight.

Breakfast, included with your stay on Bed and Breakfast, is usually a generous buffet with hot and cold options, local specialities and made-to-order items. Lunch and dinner are typically à la carte and payable locally, giving you the flexibility to alternate between the hotel’s excellent cuisine and Amalfi’s many trattorie in town.

Rooms

**Standard Double Room**
Sleeps: 1–2 guests
Thoughtfully restored doubles that respect the convent’s simple architectural lines, enhanced with understated luxury. Expect comfortable bedding, a sleek bathroom with shower or bath, air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, TV and a minibar or mini-fridge. Some overlook the cloisters or garden-style areas rather than the sea, making them a great-value entry point to the hotel.

**Standard Double Room for Sole Use**
Sleeps: 1 guest
Ideal for solo travellers seeking the hotel’s atmosphere without compromise. Facilities are similar to the Standard Double, with bedding configured for one and all the same comforts.

**Superior Room / Superior Double Room with Side Sea View**
Sleeps: 1–2 guests
More elevated outlooks and, for side sea view categories, glimpses of the coastline from windows or French-style balconies. Interiors retain the whitewashed, restful aesthetic with upgraded seating areas and often a little more space.

**Deluxe Double Room / Deluxe Double Room with Side Sea View / Deluxe Double Room with Sea View**
Sleeps: 1–2 guests (some from 2 adults)
Deluxe rooms balance space and views, with options that face sideways to the sea or directly towards the water. Many feature picture windows or small terraces; some categories are repeated with different occupancies. Expect enhanced amenities, refined textiles and carefully curated lighting that frames the original stonework.

**Premium Double Room**
Sleeps: 1–3 guests
A versatile choice for couples wanting more room or small parties where one guest uses a sofa bed or extra bed. These rooms often include an expanded sitting area, retaining the calm, monastery-inspired design with contemporary comforts.

**Junior Suite / Junior Suite with Sea View / Junior Suite with Whirlpool**
Sleeps: 2 guests
Junior Suites add a lounge area and, in many cases, more dramatic sea-facing outlooks. The Whirlpool variants include an in-room whirlpool bath or outdoor whirlpool on the terrace (configuration varies by suite), ideal for a celebratory stay or honeymoon.

**Junior Suite with Terrace and Sea View for Sole Use**
Sleeps: 1 guest
A rare treat for solo travellers: a Junior Suite footprint with a private terrace and coastal vistas, blending cloistered calm with open-air living.

**Suite / Suite del Priore / Suite with Terrace / Suite with Terrace and Sea View (including Sole Use options)**
Sleeps: 1–2 guests
The hotel’s suites are the pinnacle of the former convent’s transformation. Expect generous layouts, separate lounge and bedroom zones, atmospheric vaulted ceilings or historic details, and often expansive terraces where you can take breakfast with the coastline at your feet. The Suite del Priore in particular nods to the prior’s original living quarters, marrying history with indulgent detailing. Terrace and terrace-with-sea-view suites maximise outdoor living space, while “for sole use” categories offer these privileges to single occupants.

**Single Room / Suite dell’Eremita for Sole Use**
Sleeps: 1 guest
Characterful options especially suited to solo guests. The Single Room is a cosy bolt-hole within the convent walls, while the evocatively named Suite dell’Eremita (“Hermit’s Suite”) offers greater privacy and space, echoing the retreat-like feel of the property.

FAQs
Is Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel right for couples and honeymooners?
Yes. With its 13th-century convent setting, cliffside terraces and candlelit dining, Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel feels tailor-made for couples and honeymooners. The atmosphere is relaxed and refined rather than lively, with an emphasis on slow days by the pool or sea, long meals and exploring Amalfi’s streets just below.
Does the hotel have direct access to a beach?
The hotel does not sit directly on a sandy beach, but it does offer a private beach deck open roughly from June to September. Guests reach it via a dedicated hotel shuttle and short boat ride. The deck is built onto the rocks, with sunbeds and ladders or steps into the sea. Access is subject to reservation, availability, and sea/weather conditions.
What board basis is offered at Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel?
Stays are typically on a Bed and Breakfast basis. You can enjoy a generous breakfast at the hotel each morning, then choose between on-site à la carte dining or venturing into Amalfi for lunch and dinner. This flexibility works especially well along the Amalfi Coast, where local restaurants and trattorie are a big part of the experience.
How far is the hotel from Amalfi centre and the port?
Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel is approximately 550 metres from Amalfi’s resort centre and main square, and around 650 metres from the port. The walk involves slopes and steps due to the clifftop position, so guests with limited mobility may prefer to use local taxis for some journeys.
Is the hotel suitable for guests with reduced mobility?
The property has three lifts and many areas are accessible, but it occupies a historic clifftop convent with multiple levels and some uneven surfaces. While staff will assist wherever possible, the layout may be challenging for guests with significantly reduced mobility or those who rely on a wheelchair at all times. If in doubt, speak to a Travelisto advisor so we can check up-to-date access details for your specific needs.
Are children welcome at Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel?
Children are welcome and the standard child age guideline is up to 12 years, but the style of the hotel is quiet and grown-up with no large-scale kids’ clubs or daily entertainment programmes. Families who choose this property usually appreciate its peaceful character and tend to travel with older or very well-behaved younger children.
What is the approximate transfer time from Naples Airport?
The transfer from Naples International Airport (NAP) to the hotel is typically around 1 hour 30 minutes by road, depending on traffic, time of day and seasonal conditions along the Amalfi Coast roads. Private transfers can sometimes be quicker and are usually the most comfortable way to arrive.
Does the hotel have Wi‑Fi?
Yes. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel, including in rooms and most public areas, making it easy to stay connected or share those Amalfi Coast views in real time.
Which room types are best for sea views?
If sea views are a priority, look for categories that specify “Sea View”, “Side Sea View”, “Terrace and Sea View” or suites and junior suites with sea view or whirlpool on the terrace. Standard and some superior categories may face inland, the cloisters or quieter courtyard-style aspects, so checking the view type at the time of booking is recommended.
Are there any additional local charges I should be aware of?
As with most Italian coastal resorts, a local tourist tax is usually payable directly to the hotel on arrival or departure; the amount can change according to local regulations. Spa treatments, certain experiences, private transfers, and premium food and drink are also charged locally. Full details will be provided in your travel documentation and can be confirmed at check-in.
