Inspired by the pink buildings of old Marrakesh, the luxurious Amanjena is located near the legendary Red City, nestled in its own gardens and large open spaces. Shady courtyards with fountains lead to the central basin that nourishes the gardens, where spacious, detached pavilions and maisons await you—all with private gardens. Relax by the pool, play a game of tennis on one of the clay courts, swing your golf club on the 27-hole Amelkis course next door, or visit the surreal landscape of the Agafay Dunes deep in the desert.
The 40 pavilions and maisons at Amanjena all radiate out from the reflecting pool at the heart of the estate. The design of the accommodations reflects the character and charm of the resort's beautiful location: Berber carpets, zellij tile floors, and large mirrors create an elegant atmosphere, while the spacious private gardens and outdoor pavilions, where you can dine and relax, form a sprawling private oasis. For the ultimate in luxury, stay in the detached Al Hamra Maison, where you will have access to a private garden with a large heated pool, two large traditional pavilions for dining and lounging, and a spacious main pavilion.
Enjoy authentic local dishes at the Moroccan Restaurant. Local musicians provide musical accompaniment to your meal every evening in the restaurant's tranquil courtyard. Or enjoy exquisite Japanese cuisine at Nama, overlooking the peaceful swimming pool. Fresh seafood is delivered daily from Essaouira on the coast. A personalized dinner can be arranged at a variety of atmospheric locations on or off the premises. Sheltered from the Moroccan midday sun, weekly barbecue evenings are also held in the old olive grove, serving the best Mediterranean and Moroccan specialties.
The elegant spa facilities at Amanjena are entirely dedicated to your personal well-being. Here you can relax and pamper yourself; treatments include massages, facials, scrubs and wraps, as well as manicures and pedicures. Private fitness, tennis, or yoga sessions with a trainer can be arranged at any time, before you give your muscles a break in one of the two Moroccan-style hammams. Don't miss the lively city of Marrakech with its colorful markets and mosques. We also recommend an e-bike tour through the "Sahara of Marrakech," where you can admire cacti, eucalyptus trees, historic villages, and the breathtaking spectacle of the dunes.
Set in an oasis of palm trees and olive groves, Amanjena, which translates as "peaceful paradise," is just minutes from Morocco's famous Djemaa el-Fna Square and the UNESCO-protected Medina of Marrakech. The Moorish heritage is reflected in the resort, which is surrounded by pisé walls and modeled on the style of a sultan's palace. The luxurious complex is a perfect symbiosis of traditional elements of regional culture, the surrounding nature, and state-of-the-art international comfort. While the pavilions feature large living rooms and bedrooms, a cozy fireplace, and their own garden, the two-story maisons even have their own private pool. Warm, light colors dominate not only the accommodations but the entire design of Amanjena.
