Amanjena, Marrakech: a peaceful paradise at the edge of the Atlas mountains

Perched serenely just outside of the dusty chaos of Marrakech, Amanjena is an orange blossom-scented mirage.

The colours become calmer, the birds chirp louder and the pace is pleasingly glacial. Dip in and out of the souks and snake charmers of the city as you please, knowing an oasis awaits. That’s not to say you can’t party — if you have the cash. The night before we arrived the resort had been bought-out for a money-is-no-object wedding. The entertainment? Well, that was provided by 50 Cent. David Beckham also famously hired it out for his 40th birthday.
