Amanjena (meaning "peaceful paradise")[1] is a luxury hotel and resort in Palmeraie, a southeastern suburb of Marrakesh, Morocco.
Amanjena is situated in Marrakesh's Palmeraie, along the road to Ouarzazate, just outside Morocco's UNESCO-protected city of Marrakech in an area where the river valleys of Draa and Dadès merge with the Sahara desert.
[3] The resort is set in the backdrop of a hill which rises to a height of 13,000 feet (4,000 m), in the surroundings of an olive orchard of the Almoravid period.
[2] The lobby is patterned on the lines of a caravanserai, an Ogres suggestive of the Mezquita, the Mosque of Cordoba, with colonnades which open into waterfronts.
[4] Other features include sandy clay roofing,[10] two-story lounges, internal patios which face fountains, arches, chiseled pillars, glazed Moroccan tiles, and a frieze of ziggurat design.
