Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas has unveiled plans to convert a former monastery in Vila Viçosa, Portugal into a new five-star hotel. Anantara Royal Vila Viçosa will launch in 2024 as the second Anantara property in the country.
Located in the emerging tourism region of Alentejo, Vila Viçosa is known as the “Princess of Alentejo” and is considered one of the most charming jewels of the area.
The property will feature 50 guest rooms, 10 suites, 16 residences, an outdoor and indoor swimming pool and multiple dining options including a stylish restaurant and bar, a private fine dining area and a wine cellar. An Anantara Spa, a fitness room and three conference rooms will also be part of the resort’s amenities.
The project is a strategic partnership between the Portuguese Group Investaureum and Anantara that will lure experience-led authentic luxury to property. The interior design will be led by the award-winning global architecture, urbanism and design studio Broadway Malyan with the aim of keeping the history of the existing building front of mind and respecting the vast history and heritage of Vila Viçosa, to create a truly relaxing and sophisticated retreat.

The brand has continued its expansion in Europe with properties including Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome and Anantara New York Palace Budapest, with further openings to come later in the year.
