UML does not define how to translate an annotation to a UML concept, but yes, a stereotype seems the most logical equivalent, although an annotation can have parameters and a stereotype cannot.

The UML 2.5.1 specification section 12.3.3.4 describes how to define your own stereotype in UML and section 12.3.3.6 describes how to extend a metaclass to use the stereotype. In your case:
