Anantara Journeys

Journeys of discovery. Luxury without end.

The house

Founded in 2001 on the coast of Hua Hin, Thailand, Anantara is today among the world's most distinctive luxury hotel brands. The name — Sanskrit for "without end" — reflects a philosophy of boundless discovery. The portfolio comprises 50+ hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, Africa and Europe — from overwater villas in the Maldives and desert palaces in Abu Dhabi to elephant camps in northern Thailand and palazzi on the Amalfi Coast. Anantara belongs to Minor Hotels; stays are fully recognised within GHA DISCOVERY.

Preferred Partner Programme

Anantara Journeys — The invitation-only Luxury Travel Agents Programme — available exclusively through accredited luxury travel advisors, including LVXE. The hotel bills directly at the official rate, with full recognition of the loyalty programme.

Preferred Partner All privileges are subject to availability and to the programme conditions of the individual houses; the public hotel rate remains unchanged.

Which rates carry the benefits

Benefits attach to specific rates the house makes available to accredited advisors — usually the flexible public rate, sometimes an advance-purchase equivalent. A member rate, a prepaid or non-refundable rate, a package, a corporate or negotiated rate, a promotional offer and an award redemption do not carry them.

A non-qualifying rate is occasionally the better buy. Before a reservation is placed we compare the eligible rate against what else the house is selling for your dates, and say which is stronger — including when the answer is not ours.

Points and status

A reservation placed through Anantara Journeys carries your membership number to the house, so GHA DISCOVERY is recognised on arrival and accrues on the rates that qualify. Where a programme benefit and an elite benefit cover the same ground, the hotel grants the stronger one rather than both.

GHA DISCOVERY

What is contractual and what depends on the day

The local experience, the gift in the room, the General Manager’s welcome, the dedicated contact and the no-walk guarantee come with every reservation on an eligible rate. The upgrade on arrival and the 24-hour check-in and check-out are granted by the individual house from what it has available, which is why we place the request with the hotel rather than promise it here.

Questions

Does Anantara Journeys cost anything?
No. You pay the hotel directly at the eligible rate. The privileges travel with the reservation.
Which rates qualify?
Benefits attach to specific rates the house makes available to accredited advisors — usually the flexible public rate, sometimes an advance-purchase equivalent. A member rate, a prepaid or non-refundable rate, a package, a corporate or negotiated rate, a promotional offer and an award redemption do not carry them.
Are the benefits guaranteed?
The local experience, the welcome gift, the personal welcome and the no-walk guarantee come with every reservation on an eligible rate. The upgrade and the 24-hour check-in and check-out depend on what the house has free on the day, and are confirmed at check-in rather than at booking.
Do I still earn points and nights?
Yes, on qualifying rates. GHA DISCOVERY is attached to the booking before it reaches the hotel.
