Amanjena - Moroccan Restaurant
Host the perfect event
Moments from Marrakech - one of the world’s most romantic destinations - Amanjena exudes a sense of peace and timeless tranquillity that perfectly balances the nearby medina, a fabled Unesco Heritage Site. A rose-hued oasis surrounded by starkly beautiful scenery, the resort overlooks the verdant fairways of the Amelkis Golf Course to the High Atlas Mountains and is full of atmospheric locations in which to mark life’s most important milestones.
Whether an intimate courtyard dinner beside a trickling fountain or a wedding banquet in an elaborate Caidal Tent, every private celebration at Amanjena is instilled with the traditions of North Africa while menus abound with the fragrant spices of this exotic land.
Weddings
In a place where rose petals in fountains is a daily occurrence, weddings at Amanjena are effortlessly filled with romance and charm. Usually celebrated over several days, marital traditions include the giving of traditional gifts such as sugar, milk and flowers, relaxing hammam purification and beauty rituals, and other bonding experiences such as tea ceremonies and the application of mehndi (henna) in the lead up to the event. Say your vows beside the vast reflective bassin at the property’s heart, then dance until dawn, when a celebratory breakfast is served with the rising sun.
Celebrations
When celebrating a special occasion at Amanjena, the opportunities for realising one’s vision are not confined to Amanjena’s spectacular grounds. Whether an anniversary dinner for two atop a desert dune, a group picnic lunch in the High Atlas Mountains, or a festive celebration in a traditional tent setup, Amanjena’s expert team will ensure every detail – from menus to transport – is taken care of.
