Amanjena Marrakech | Africa's Only Aman Retreat
🌿 The Only Aman in Africa With just 38 properties worldwide, Amanjena ("Peaceful Paradise") stands alone as Aman's sole African outpost. Nestled on the outskirts of Marrakech—Morocco’s fabled "Red City"—this oasis blends Berber heritage with Aman’s signature serenity. 💡 Key Details 🏨 Hotel: Amanjena 💰 Currency: 1 CNY ≈ 1.3 MAD (Moroccan Dirhams, not UAE Dirhams!) Tipping: Small change for staff (or politely say "no cash"). 🍜 Food Notes: Avoid "white people food"? Head downtown for Xinjiang cuisine (yes, there’s decent Chinese food!). Post-9PM = Food Desert: Pack instant noodles if you’re a midnight snacker. Pro tip: "Traveling here = survival mode activated." 🚗 Transport: Hotel shuttle to downtown: 160 MAD round-trip. 🎨 Must-Do: YSL Museum (book via Google). Air-conditioned, café-equipped, and smoker-friendly! 🛎️ Why Choose Amanjena? 1️⃣ No-Safari Sanctuary: Skip the Sahara’s dust ("paying to suffer") and indulge in a 3-day resort retreat. 2️⃣ Safety First: In Africa, luxury hotels = better security. Worth every penny when safety’s priceless. 3️⃣ Air Quality: Marrakech’s streets smell… interesting, but Amanjena’s gardens filter it out. 🌍 Stark Contrasts The visual shock: Wealth: Gated villas, Ferraris, armed guards. Poverty: Slums just a block away. Amanjena feels like a bubble of privilege—soothing, but surreal. ✨ Final Verdict "No expectations, all delight." A blissful escape, though Morocco’s inequalities linger in memory. #Amanjena #AmanResorts #MoroccoTravel #MarrakechDiaries
