Amanjena
Rose-pink pavilions outside the ancient medina walls echoing Moroccan palatial architecture
The Privata Perspective
Marrakech's most serene retreat and Ed Tuttle's love letter to Moroccan palatial architecture. The 32 rose-pisé pavilions are arranged around a vast bassin — a traditional reflecting pool inspired by the ruined Saadian tombs and El Badi Palace — that mirrors the Atlas Mountains and creates a mesmerising sense of symmetry and calm.
Amanjena sits just outside the ancient medina walls, close enough that guests can reach the Jemaa el-Fnaa within minutes by car, yet the property's thick rammed-earth walls and irrigated gardens create an oasis silence that feels impossibly remote. The Maisons — two-storey private residences with their own pools, gardens, and rooftop terraces — function as private Moroccan palaces within the larger compound.
Aman's Marrakech excursion programme is exceptional: private guided tours through the medina's hidden riads and artisan workshops, day trips to the Atlas Mountains for Berber village lunches, and sunset camel rides through the Agafay Desert. The Thai Restaurant — an unexpected presence in North Africa — reflects Aman's Asian roots and has become one of Marrakech's most talked-about dining destinations.
