Property Overview

Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat is an intimate adults-only beachfront sanctuary inspired by the whitewashed elegance of the Greek islands, located on the shores of Ghantoot between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The retreat features twenty-two rooms and suites, all offering sea views and direct beach access, each with dedicated private butler service. Amenities include an infinity pool, private beach, wellness experiences, and three dining venues. Guests enjoy tranquil outdoor spaces and highly personalized service that emphasizes privacy, discretion, and exclusivity. Culinary experiences range from restaurant dining to bespoke beachfront dinners and sunset tea experiences. The property is particularly well suited to intimate weddings, executive retreats, wellness gatherings, and milestone celebrations seeking a residential atmosphere rather than a large-scale resort environment. With Greek-inspired architecture, a peaceful coastal setting, and thoughtfully curated experiences, the retreat offers a distinctive boutique alternative to many of the UAE's larger beachfront resorts.
