Culture & History
Welcome to Marrakech, where senses come alive with dazzling sights and uplifting aromas. Join a guided tour of the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and wander its age-old streets, crowded souks, tanneries, mosques and museums. Don't miss the mind-boggling experience of standing in Place Jemaa el Fna, watching snake charmers, fortune tellers and other local characters. Another must-do is drinking mint tea with Berbers in a mud-walled mountain village or hit the coast and explore the spice-scented lanes of Essaouira's UNESCO-listed medina, an enchanting old port.
Golf
The Red City is encircled by top-class greens, themselves framed by the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains - an impressive setting that attracts golfers eager to hone their game on signature courses filled with challenges. Right next to Amanjena are the championship fairways of Amelkis Golf Club, deemed one of the country's finest, the 27-hole Royal and 18-hole Al Maaden clubs are also close by, so guests have access to not one, but three fantastic courses. Do talk to our Travel Consultants about special golfing packages.
Romance
Considering Amanjena is a heartbeat away from busy Marrakech, it pulls off being a chic and secluded oasis of arches, pools, fountains and courtyards trimmed with date palms. In fact, the kind of luxury hotel that radiates romance, whether you're planning a last-minute getaway or an upscale honeymoon. Tick off the city's sights, then slip off to the Atlas Mountains for a picnic lunch amongst jaw-dropping scenery or wander the olive groves of Amanjena until you reach the Caidal Tent - a magical setting for lovingly crafted dinners, with glowing lanterns all around.
Hotel Experiences
Should you want to follow breakfast at the beach with lunch in the mountains and picnics in the desert, Amanjena's helicopter departs straight from the hotel's heliport.

Each hammam (one each for men and women) is complemented by showers, washrooms, a change area and a whirlpool. Treatments at the Beauty Centre include massages, manicures, pedicures and facials.
