If it’s romance, drama and the warm African sun that you’re after, a visit to Amanjena in Marrakech is exactly what the doctor ordered. It’s the small touches and attention to detail like fresh fruit and bottled water in your room, romantic turndowns before bedtime and the iPod dock that’s almost out of place with the surreal décor, but included for your convenience.

It’s just as exotic as your wildest dreams, featuring luxurious textures and burnt colors that emulate its desert-like surroundings. Surrounded by olive trees and the dramatic shadows of the Atlas mountains, Amanjena is an oasis to the desert traveler in search of riches and refreshment.

It’s historic high-domed architecture, complete with gazebo’ed terraces and glowing fires that make the difference, complete with six private pools just for your refreshment and comfort.

Savor the very best of both Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisine, which is served al fresco in the summer months. The pool terrace offers untouched views of the neighboring golf course and sumptuous delicacies to dine on.  Treat yourself to the Amanjena Tent Experience which features tasty dishes, excellence service and local dancing and entertainment to keep the mood festive and cheery. Stay cool and refreshed with classic cocktails or take your pick from the extensive wine cellar, for the perfect complement to the perfect meal.

If languishing by the poolside is too laid back for you, there’s also plenty to keep you busy. Get active on the clay tennis courts or build that body at the gym and fitness center. There are also a couple of golf courses designed to challenge you, if that’s your thing. Cool off afterwards with a dip in one of the private pools – never mind the scorching temperatures- there’s a heated indoor pool too- just in case that’s what you felt like.
