free-standing villas and pavilions are a finely judged blend of Moroccan tradition and modern-luxe sophistication.
“Aman delivered perfection with its first African property, capturing Morocco’s essence with terracotta architecture, tranquil fountains, and palm-lined gardens.”
“A central reflective lake is surrounded by shady gardens dotted with 40 standalone guest pavilions and maisons: one- and two-bedroom villas.”
“All handsome colonnades, ochre walls, shade-giving palms, and glassy water features, this hotel radiates a sense of peace…”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bordering the Amelkis Golf Course along Route de Ouarzazate, the quiet palm oasis sits twenty minutes outside the medina.
The rooms
Domed pavilions feature wood fireplaces, Berber rugs, and green marble soaking tubs opening onto walled courtyards with private gazebos.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 33-metre heated pool sits beneath monumental rose arches, and select pavilions have their own walled plunge pools.
The spa and studio
Zellij-tiled hammams host Moroccan black soap rituals, and a wood-beamed studio holds yoga beneath horseshoe arches.
The Moroccan Restaurant
Candlelit petal fountains and live Andalusian music accompany traditional tagines and pastillas in the arched courtyard.
Amid date palms and olive trees, you’ll find muted pink structures that take inspiration from a sultan’s palace with dramatic archways…
Restaurant
Arva
Seasonal pastas and wood-fired pizzas are served across a vaulted dining hall and the colonnaded terrace.
At the table
The Bar pours botanical cocktails infused with dates and argan oil beneath horseshoe arches and smoky mirrors.
How it began
The architecture draws on Moorish palaces and Berber rammed-earth traditions, marking the brand's first African outpost in 2000.
“Just outside the city lies Amanjena boasts palm trees, rolling lawns and sprawling, faded-red villas.”
