About Anantara

Anantara takes its name from a Sanskrit word meaning “without end,” a nod to the boundless sense of discovery the brand aims to create. Founded in Thailand in 2001 and part of Minor Hotels, Anantara has grown into a global collection of luxury hotels and resorts across Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Its addresses range from overwater villas in the Maldives and a desert resort in the sands of Abu Dhabi’s Empty Quarter to a mountaintop retreat in Oman, a beachfront hideaway in Mozambique and grand historic hotels in Rome and Amsterdam.

What defines Anantara is a passion for authentic, memorable experiences. Each property draws on the culture, landscapes and traditions of its destination, and guests are encouraged to step beyond the resort to explore. That could mean meeting rescued elephants in Thailand’s Golden Triangle, dune bashing and stargazing in the Arabian desert or sailing between islands at sunset.

Guests can expect spacious rooms, suites and pool villas, warm Thai-inspired hospitality and dining that celebrates local flavors. The brand is especially known for its private dining experiences, where meals are set up in unforgettable locations such as a secluded beach or a desert dune, and for Anantara Spa, which blends regional healing traditions with modern wellness. Anantara suits honeymooners, couples celebrating special occasions, families seeking adventure and culture, and travelers who want a stay filled with stories to take home.

Anantara is part of the GHA DISCOVERY program, and eligible stays booked through us earn DISCOVERY Dollars. We also book through Anantara Journeys, which can include benefits such as VIP status, a unique local experience at each hotel, an upgrade on arrival and flexible 24-hour check-in and check-out when available, a destination-inspired gift, a personal welcome from the hotel’s management and a dedicated contact at the property.
