Amanjena

Amanjena sits outside central Marrakech along the Route de Ouarzazate, close enough for easy access to the medina while feeling distinctly removed from its intensity.

The resort is built as a contemporary interpretation of a Moorish palace, organized around reflecting pools, arcades, courtyards and rose-toned walls that glow in the desert light.

Pavilions and maisons emphasize privacy and space, with high ceilings, fireplaces and outdoor areas that make the rooms feel more residential than hotel-like.

The spa, large swimming pool and gardens give the property a deeply restful rhythm, while excursions can move quickly from Marrakech’s souks to the Agafay Desert or trails in the Atlas Mountains.

Amanjena suits travelers who want the cultural energy of Marrakech paired with a calm, highly controlled retreat at the end of the day.
