Amanjena

The beautiful resort of Amanjena meaning ‘peaceful paradise,’ is only 15 minutes from Marrakech and sits against the backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.

Radiating a distinctly Moorish influence, 32 luxury private pavilions with rose-tinted facades sit within a magical walled enclave, dotted with fountains, lush lawns and with a stunning pool at its heart. Decorative features such as open fireplaces, Berber carpets, brass lanterns and high domed ceilings reinforce a subtle and luxurious Moroccan theme, whilst a selection of pavilions and two-storey maisons also feature private pools and some boast courtyard gardens. The resort features numerous first-class facilities, including a wonderful Hammam at the Amanjena Spa, tennis, hiking, biking in the surrounding mountains and excellent golf courses nearby. The Restaurant serves delicious Moroccan and Mediterranean dishes, whilst the authentic tastes of Asia can be found in The Thai Restaurant. Amanjena is the perfect base from which to explore the nearby culture of Marrakech, meandering through the bustling souks of the Medina, visiting remote Berber villages, ancient mosques and crumbling Kasbahs or taking guided treks through the hills of the Atlas Mountains.
