Recreation

The hammam is central to Moroccan life. Unsurprisingly, it has pride of place at the heart of the Amanjena Health & Beauty Centre. Each hammam (one each for men and women) is complemented by a glassed-in whirlpool. Treatments at the beauty centre include massages, manicures, pedicures and facials, plus there is also a gym.

With a convenient location at the edge of Marrakech, Amanjena provides the ideal base for further exploration of Marrakech and beyond. The city itself, with its gardens, souks, art and culture, is just seven kilometres away and the resort looks out onto the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains, the highest range in North Africa. Carefully constructed private tours and treks, taking in local highlights, are easily arranged.

There are also two golf courses in the immediate vicinity of Amanjena, with the Amelkis Golf Course next door and the Royal Golf de Marrakech only a few minutes away.
