Amanjena
holiday villa in Marrakech, Morocco

‘Peaceful Paradise’ is the translation of Amanjena and a very accurate description of this extraordinary resort. It is a place of elegance and grandeur, with a traditional Moroccan ambiance. You will appreciate the welcoming atmosphere in this tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Marrakech. Amanjena is a place that embodies the word peace and quiet.

The standalone mansions offer private courtyards and private pools. The two bedrooms come with ensuite bathrooms designed to the highest standards. Airy living areas are feature an outdoor gazebo for lounging and dining. Design accents include Berber carpets, open fireplaces, candle lanterns, and green marble finishings. Private butler service is available upon request.

The pavilions have a combined bedroom and living area and a private courtyard with a pavilion for outdoor lounging. Guests can choose between pavilions with and without a pool. If you choose a pavilion without a pool, you can enjoy various on-site pools, including a 33m heated outdoor pool, perfect for swimming laps.

The resort lies 15 minutes outside Marrakech on the road to Ouarzazate, also known as the gateway to the Sahara Desert. The dedicated resort team can organize any type of tour or excursion, whether it is a hiking tour in the mountains, a game of golf in the desert, or a visit to Marrakech. 

There is plenty to do in Amanjena as well. Get comfortable with a pile of books in the library, treat yourself to a relaxing massage at the spa, play a game of tennis, or work up a sweat in the indoor gym. Take some time to stroll around the vast basin and the gardens lined with palm trees, olive trees, and citrus trees, inspired by 12th-century Menara gardens. When you take it all in, it is like an Arabian fantasy.
