EXPERIENCE
Amanjena Resort Marrakech is the first Amanresort on the African continent and one of the finest luxury resorts in Marrakech. Amanjena resort’s 32 pavilions and six, two-storey maisons are set within an oasis of palms and mature olive trees. Resort Amanjena's rose-blush walls mirror Marrakech, known in Arabic as Al Medina al-Hamra (the red city). Amanjena resort’s design emulates the old Moorish pisé (packed earth) buildings, as well as the Berber villages that cling to the High Atlas Mountains.
The entrance to Amanjena Resort is through hand-crafted double oak doors leading to the central promenade. There are open-air fountains on either side of the entrance and colonnaded walkways. Amanjena Resort, which means “peaceful paradise", opened in 2000.
Amanjena Resort Marrakech has 32 air-conditioned pavilions which include a bedroom-living room and spacious bathroom and dressing area. The living area consists of a high, domed ceiling, a king-size platform bed and an open fireplace. Brass lanterns and Berber carpets discreetly reinforce the Moroccan theme. Furnishings include a daybed with an accompanying table and chair.
The suites have a mini-bar, a CD player and a TV/DVD, while green Moroccan marble and a soaking tub in a garden setting highlight the bathroom. Each pavilion has its own private courtyard along with a pillared minzah (gazebo) and a fountain.
