Anantara Hotels & Resorts
Every resort, ranked
Anantara is the luxury flagship of Minor Hotels, born in Thailand and now global: island and beach resorts across Asia (Thailand, the Maldives, Vietnam, Sri Lanka), the Middle East (Oman, the UAE, Qatar), plus Africa and Europe. The brand trades on sense-of-place design, strong spas, and destination dining rather than a fixed formula.

Set expectations clearly: Anantara is a full-service luxury brand, not an all-inclusive one. Most properties run on a room-and-a-la-carte basis, and where all-inclusive or full-board plans appear (typically at remote island or beach resorts) they are the premium exception, not the rule. It is here for travelers who want luxury and are weighing an inclusive plan at specific properties. The ranking below compares them on real guest ratings and what each rate covers.
