Searches for dark matter (DM) have not provided any solid evidence for the
existence of weakly interacting massive particles in the GeV-TeV mass range. Coincidentally,
the scale of new physics is being pushed by collider searches well beyond the TeV domain. This
situation strongly motivates the exploration of DM masses much larger than a TeV. Secluded
scenarios contain a natural way around the unitarity bound on the DM mass, via the early
matter domination induced by the mediator of its interactions with the Standard Model.
High-energy neutrinos constitute one of the very few direct accesses to energy scales above a
few TeV. An indirect search for secluded DM signals has been performed with the ANTARES
neutrino telescope using data from 2007 to 2015. Upper limits on the DM annihilation cross
section for DM masses up to 6PeV are presented and discussed.
