Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat

The retreat features just 22 refined rooms, all of which can be exclusively reserved for your celebration. This is its greatest advantage — your wedding does not begin with the banquet; it begins the moment your guests arrive. You may prepare welcome gifts, personalize each room in harmony with your wedding concept, and curate every detail of the experience. On your special day, there will be no outside guests — only your closest circle within a private world of white domes, arches, cascading staircases, and endless sea panoramas.

Thanks to its secluded location, the retreat offers greater flexibility, allowing you to celebrate with music and festivities well into the night.

Your ceremony can be as unique as your love story. Exchange vows barefoot on warm sand or choose an elegant setting by the infinity pool, where an olive tree grows at its center — a timeless symbol of peace and longevity. As the evening draws to a close, a fireworks display over the water or clouds of colored smoke can create a breathtaking finale and unforgettable photographs.

After the celebration, guests retreat to rooms that each embody a piece of Greek idyll. Some will admire the bay from the balcony of an Oia room, others will step directly onto the sand from the terrace of a Perissa room, while the newlyweds will experience the luxury of the two-level Royal Santorini Suite, complete with a private sauna and direct access to the pool.

The festive atmosphere is further enhanced by Thalassa, the resort’s Greek restaurant, or OIA Oasis, the tranquil spa complex, or even a private screening in the luxurious cinema featuring velvet daybed-style seating.

The retreat also offers opportunities to enrich your wedding with distinctive experiences — from crafting a bespoke wedding fragrance in an Arabian perfumery workshop to hosting a mixology masterclass where your signature couple’s cocktail is created.
