At the Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi guests are invited to participate in meaningful experiences designed to spark rejuvenation, emotional clarity, and inner connection. 

 

Crafted for both resort guests and the wider community, each program reflects a commitment to personalized well-being.

 

Full Moon Ceremony: A Gateway to Renewal

Each month, under the glow of the full moon, Anantara Santorini hosts an evocative Full Moon Ceremony. 

 

The ritual begins with a heart-opening cacao circle, where participants gather in a community setting that fosters openness and warmth.

 

Following the cacao ceremony, a guided breathwork session invites stillness and focus. 

 

This is followed by self-reflective exercises that encourage emotional release and inner clarity. 

 

A symbolic bonfire ritual allows guests to cast away emotional weight, under the peaceful glow of the moonlight.

 

The experience concludes with a floral offering and a collective gratitude expression, enhancing the bond between participants and the natural surroundings. 

 

For those seeking a deeper experience, a full-day package includes early access to the tranquil pool and pristine beach, providing a serene space for contemplation.

Santorini Sundays: Anchoring the Week with Mindful Creativity

Every Sunday, the retreat hosts Santorini Sundays, a weekly ritual that harmonizes the body and mind. Guests are welcomed with a cooling herbal infusion that sets a peaceful tone.

 

The day starts with an intention-setting exercise and breathwork session, followed by a sixty-minute slow-flow yoga class. 

 

After yoga, a nourishing wellness breakfast is served on a sea-view terrace, promoting mindful eating and relaxation. 

 

Guests finish the day with free time at the pool or beach, allowing the mind and body to fully absorb the morning’s benefits.

Mindfulness Screenings: Wellness Through Film

Adding a cinematic dimension to its offerings, Anantara Santorini introduces Mindfulness Screenings. 

 

These daily viewings take place in the resort’s private cinema, offering handpicked films and documentaries centered on emotional well-being, connection, and self-growth.

 

Arabian Perfume Workshop: A Sensory Cultural Journey

To enhance the sensory and cultural depth of the retreat, the Arabian Perfume Workshop invites guests to explore the fragrance heritage of the Middle East. 

 

Led by a skilled perfumer, participants discover traditional scents like oud, rose, musk, and amber.

 

Guests create a signature fragrance that captures the essence of their experience, leaving with a lasting aromatic reminder. 

 

Ideal for couples and small groups, the workshop is both intimate and richly educational.
