Amanjena in Marrakech, Morocco uses exotic local materials to maximum effect. The chorus of colors reflects the surrounding olive groves, fruit trees, Berber villages, and the Atlas Mountains.
EXPERIENCE
Morocco's Moorish rose, Amanjena, is a private haven near the vibrant Medina of Marrakech. Of Amanjena's 32 private pavilions, eight include private pools, but include high domes, wood-burning sunken fires, terraces with gazebos, and lantern-lit seating areas.
The main restaurant specializes in Spanish cuisine that is served outdoors during the summer months. Enjoy Thai cuisine alongside the pool, or have breakfast and lunch overlooking the pool and golf course in The Pool Terrace. You can also dine privately in the Pavilion or Maison.
The resort caters to fitness buffs with a timber-floored gym, clay tennis courts, manicured golf courses, and a heated outdoor pool - it also offers plenty of pampering opportunities. The health and beauty center includes traditional hammams alongside a glass-encased whirlpool. Relax with a skillful essential oil massage in candlelit room with floating rose petals and warm mint tea.
