Moorish oasis
Well located on the outskirts of Marrakech, the Amanjena Hotel is close to the Palais de Justice and is within the pulsating Medina of this ancient city. It is within walking distance of many of the sights of the city including the central Jemaa el Fna Square, the Koutoubia Mosque with its decorative minaret and the many museums within the city. Experience the bustle of the crowded souk, the vibrancy of this fascinating culture and the wonderful sounds and smells of this ancient city. The Marrakech airport is just 15 minutes away.
Hotel Amenjena wonderfully lives up to its name which means ‘peaceful paradise’. This luxury Marrakech hotel is set in its own quiet garden oasis with calm reflecting pools mirroring the traditional red pavilion buildings. Voted the ‘#1 Best Resort in the Middle East and Africa’ by Gallivanter’s Guide for a total of 7 times, this award-winning resort is truly top class.
Accommodation is not in rooms, but private pavilions with multi-faceted domes to give the interiors a cool and spacious feel. Dimmer switches set the mood lighting and sunken wood-burning fireplaces give a focal point to the lounge area. The air-conditioned pavilions have king-size platform beds, a dressing area and a spacious bathroom, all decorated and furnished in Moroccan style. Where else but Morocco would you find such jewel colours of burnt red, turquoise, rose pink and midnight blue to brighten the local wood and tiles? The suites include a minibar, a soaking bathtub of green marble, double vanity unit and a separate shower. Outside, the gazebos provide light shade for the traditional cushioned seating areas and candle lanterns burn with a golden glow. Relax and listen to the water music from the fountains. Some pavilions are larger and include their own heated pool and private garden whilst the two-storey maisons of this luxury Marrakech hotel are in townhouse style.
The authentic hammam is the centrepiece of the health and beauty spa and masseuses apply vigorous massage treatments. Lie back and relax by the pool or try out the gym, tennis courts or the golf which is available nearby. Arcades offer shady seating around the pool and shelter delightful terraces for dining after dark. The restaurant cuisine is authentic Spanish and tables are set outdoors by the pool or around the indoor fountain. Private dining is also available in your pavilion. There is a beautiful library and a boutique to complete the amenities of Amanjena, one of the finest luxury hotels in Marrakech.
