Known in Arabic as Al Medina al-Hamra, the
‘Red City’, Marrakech lies near the foothills of the
High Atlas Mountains, an ancient city of romance
and culture at Morocco’s heart. Just outside its walls,
set within an oasis of palm and olive trees alongside
a golf course, is Amanjena or ‘peaceful paradise’.
A tranquil retreat, Amanjena reflects the region’s
Moorish heritage in every graceful arch, stone
courtyard and rose petal-strewn fountain, its sun-
paled red walls and reflective pools paying homage
to North Africa’s stark beauty and rich history.

Moroccan music drifts through the open spaces
