Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat blends Cycladic Island charm with the natural beauty of the Arabian Gulf. Situated on the shores of Ghantoot, this adults-only retreat transports guests to a tranquil Greek escape in the UAE. Designed by E11 Designers and featuring interiors by Original Interiors, the retreat captures the essence of Santorini with its arches, photo-worthy staircases and whitewashed domes that echo the iconic churches of Santorini. The design integrates local and Mediterranean influences, using natural materials such as wood and rattan, while the palette of white, blue, and soft natural tones enhances the Aegean-like atmosphere. Every detail, from the artwork to the intricately crafted furniture, embodies traditional craftsmanship and Mediterranean aesthetics. The outdoor infinity pool, set around an olive tree, mirrors the coastal landscapes of Greece, while expansive sea views from every room offer an immersive connection to nature. The retreat's design not only stands out for its aesthetic elegance but also for its thoughtful functionality. Large windows bathe spaces in natural light, while the building’s orientation maximizes views of the Arabian Gulf.
