Rich with touches of the past and ultra modern in design is Aman Resort’s Amenjena. Located by the remote foothills of The Atlas Mountains, Morocco’s jewel of a resort offers all the exotic luxuries Arabian culture has to offer. With stunning views of the nearby mountain range, smell of spice from a neighboring Moorish market, and warmth of a purple desert sunset, Amenjena makes for the ultimate romantic getaway.

Surrounding a pool which decadently rests in the center of the Amenjena oasis, the exclusive 39 accommodations are contemporary, yet designed in a luxurious Moroccan style. As well as the 32 Pavilions and six Maisons, the Al-Hamra Maison makes for the ultimate high-end living experience. Having all the features of a Pavilion or Maison – such as a private pool and gazebo – the Al-Hamra Maison is a two-bedroom abode with a spacious indoor living and dining space complete with an additional gazebo, garden and private butler service. For a rate of $21,300, guests can stay in the Al-Hamra Maison for six nights.

Art and cultural connoisseurs will enjoy the authentic Madina of Marrakech, “a fully preserved historic town.” Marrakech, (translating to “Red City”) remains rich in its ancient traditions. It is nearly impossible to walk through the primordial city without getting caught up in the seducing scent of mint tea and exotic spices. While guests may enjoy browsing the numerous specialist antique shops and rural markets independently, Amanjena also offers organized shopping tours of the Medina.

Although guests benefit from exploring the surrounding Moroccan landscape, it is not necessary to leave the Amanjena property, as it offers elite and exclusive facilities. The spa in the Health and Beauty Center not only offers massages, facials, scrubs, wraps, manicures, and pedicures, but also Moroccan steam baths, referred to as “hammam.” Because hammam is a pivotal aspect of Morrocan culture, there is no better place than Amanjena to experience the beauty treatment firsthand. As well as the spa, The Amelkis Golf Course, adjacent to Amanjena, is the perfect place to unwind and take in the stunning surroundings and mountain views.

Whether seeking exotic adventures or ultimate relaxation, Amanjena is an escape from the fast paced western world and a gateway into Arabian luxury. Merging sweeping mountain views, vast desert, and tropical pools, Amanjena offers its guests the best of the natural elements in a superior up-scale style.
