Amanjena

Set in its own expanse of gardens, Amanjena’s architecture has been inspired by the rose-hued buildings of old Marrakech. Shaded courtyards, vaulted ceilings and petal-strewn fountains invite you to relax and drink in the views out across olive groves and palms towards the High Atlas Mountains. The spacious standalone guest pavilions and maisons boast private gardens and some have private pool. The elegant dwellings have been designed to create a cool oasis for you, think scattered Berber carpets, zellij-tiled floors, candle lanterns and high ceilings.

Dine on authentic local cuisine at the hotel’s restaurant. In addition to Moroccan dishes, you can also savour seasonal Italian family favourites at Arva, and Japanese fare Nama beside the pool. Private dining experiences can be arranged in a variety of atmospheric spots around the property.

Relax at the pool, play a game of tennis on one of the clay courts, take to the 27-hole Amelkis Golf Course next door, or head out into the otherworldly landscape of the Agafay dunes.
