Amanjena
‘Breath-taking Architecture; Truly Palatial with Atlas Mountains Backdrop’
A tranquil retreat located just 15-minutes’ drive from Marrakech; Amanjena reflects the region’s Moorish heritage in every graceful arch, stone courtyard and rose petal-strewn fountain. Every aspect of this graceful property is striking with high domed ceilings carrying through into all of its 32 air-conditioned pavilions and houses. Beds rest beneath Venetian domes and bathtubs are stepped and columned. Your stay here will take you on a journey of Moroccan luxury, impeccable service will ensure your experience is flawless in just about every way - dining, afternoon tea, late drinks, floodlit tennis, wellbeing, excursions, swimming and cycling. The two-storey library epitomises the restful spaces as do the winding pathways and gardens.
In Our Opinion
‘Absolutely stunning, palatial property that is striking, romantic and due to its restricted size and ambience, totally imitate. In keeping with the outstandingly luxurious brand of Aman the WOW factor is achieved in virtually every area. Space is key here – especially in the ceiling height of the private pavilions which makes them particularly breathtaking!’
The Moroccan Restaurant is an elegant space centred by a marble fountain and lit by a retractable skylight. The menu features Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine.
Luxurious and traditional in equal measure, The Bar and Bassin Terrace is the perfect place for casual dining, pre dinner aperitifs and post dinner nightcaps. Featuring an open fireplace and ambient lighting with an adjoining Fumoir offering a selection of cigars.
Overlooking the pool and olive groves, serving a wide variety of Mediterranean-inspired favourites with a wooden oven. Open for breakfast and lunch.
Situated near the main swimming pool, Nama Restaurant serves a la carte, Washoku style Japanese cuisine with a sushi counter and robata grill.
Travel by camel across the desert and dine in a private tent under the starlit sky - a perfect recipe for privacy and romance.
