With its soulful spirit and warm hospitality, Morocco is a paradise for travellers seeking a cultural experience. Nestled just outside the UNESCO-protected city of Marrakech, Amanjena, meaning 'peaceful paradise,' offers an oasis of serenity and unparalleled experiences in the proximity of the legendary Red City.
Amanjena, one of the properties of Aman Resorts, is cocooned within lush palms and shaded courtyards that lead to beautiful gardens and standalone guest pavilions. All of them come with private gardens and some with even private pools. Olive groves, palms and extending all the way to the High Atlas Mountains, the beautiful views stretch on in this slice of heaven.
Amanjena has recently unveiled eight Pavilion Piscines, enhancing its collection of 40 Pavilions and Maisons. These one-bedroom Pavilions, adorned with vaulted ceilings and elegant Moorish-inspired interiors, have undergone extensive courtyard renovations. They now feature inviting heated swimming pools (7.7m/3m) and traditional pillared gazebos, perfect for leisurely lounging. Ideal for couples seeking space and seclusion in a palatial setting, these Pavilions boast king-sized beds and opulent aesthetics with green marble from Ouarzazate. The private courtyard gardens offer breathtaking views across olive groves and palm trees, extending to the majestic High Atlas Mountains on the horizon.
Delve into the heart of Morocco's rich hospitality tradition with a visit to the Brahim family in their Moroccan home, where you can savour a home-cooked Berber meal. Sidi Brahim and his son, Said, provide local insights during a guided walk through L'Arbaa Tighdouine, a hidden village in the Atlas Mountains amidst lush landscapes. Following the tour, guests are invited into the family's traditional Berber home, adorned with beautiful carpets and decor, to enjoy authentic Moroccan flavours, including tagines and couscous prepared with love using cherished family recipes. This experience fosters a profound connection with nature and the local community, leaving lasting memories of a special day. All proceeds from this experience directly benefit the Brahim family and support their neighbours impacted by a recent earthquake.
Nestled within a picturesque oasis of palm and olive trees, Amanjena is ideally located just moments from the vibrant Red City. Guests are offered the gift of time with a complimentary night's stay for bookings of three nights or more until March 31, 2024 (subject to availability). With extra time to explore, visitors can immerse themselves in Marrakech's bustling souks, venture into the otherworldly desert landscapes, and make their journey even more unforgettable.
Embark on a three-night retreat at Amanjena to discover the purifying and fortifying benefits of ancient water rituals cherished by North African cultures.

This rejuvenating journey takes place in the serene spa at Amanjena, aiming to boost immunity holistically and reawaken the physical body.
For avid golfers, Amanjena is an idyllic base surrounded by the lush fairways of the Amelkis Golf Course, with the Royal and Assoufid courses nearby.
