Location
Anantara's name translates to "without end" in Sanskrit, and at this former monastery perched above Amalfi, the promise of limitless immersion in southern Italian coastal culture feels apt. The property occupies a 13th-century convent embedded in the cliffside of the Costiera Amalfitana, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of terraced lemon groves, whitewashed villages, and vertiginous roads carved into rock. Below, the town of Amalfi spills down a deep ravine to the sea, its medieval origins as a powerful maritime republic visible in the grandeur of its cathedral and the tight weave of its stone lanes.
The air smells of citrus and salt. Church bells echo across the water. The harbour, just 300 metres from the hotel, still hums with fishing boats and ferries threading between coastal hamlets. This was the winter retreat of the British upper class during the Edwardian era, and the atmosphere retains that sense of cultivated escape.
Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport lies 27 kilometres east; Naples International is 38 kilometres northwest, both accessible by coastal road or private transfer.
The Costiera Amalfitana, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997, rewards exploration on foot and by water. Trails climb past stone farmhouses and lemon terraces to the Cascata della Marmorata, where water tumbles over moss-covered rock two and a half kilometres inland. Four kilometres west, the Fiord of Furore cuts a dramatic cleft into the cliffs, its pebble beach accessible by stone steps carved into the gorge walls. Hire a boat from the harbour to reach secluded coves like Spiaggia Duoglio, or continue to Positano and Praiano, where the coast's verticality feels most acute.
Michelin recognition extends across the region: Piazzetta Milù in Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi holds two stars for creative cuisine that reinterprets Campanian tradition, while Torre del Saracino in Vico Equense (also two stars) commands a position just above Marina di Equa, where Alfonso Iaccarino's kitchen draws on the day's catch. Book a table at L'Olivo on Capri for Italian contemporary cooking framed by island sunsets, though the 33-kilometre journey requires ferry time and planning. Closer to hand, the Archaeological Areas of Pompei and Herculaneum lie 16 kilometres northeast, their frescoed villas and carbonized wooden beams preserved in the ash of Vesuvius's 79 AD eruption.
Summer along this coast means fierce sun, temperatures near 28°C, and the scent of wild oregano baking on cliffsides. July and August are the driest months, with barely any rain and the sea warm enough for long swims. September holds the summer's heat without the crowds, and the light softens to gold by late afternoon.
Spring arrives early: by May, temperatures reach 20°C, and the terraced gardens explode with wisteria and bougainvillea. Winter is mild but wet, with January highs around 11°C and frequent rain that turns the mountains emerald.
The best months are May, June, and September, when the weather balances warmth with clarity and the coastal roads are passable without the August crush.
