Amanjena is located just outside the ancient African city of Marrakech. Subject to final development approvals, 22 villas available for sale are planned immediately adjacent to the resort. For avid golfers, seven of these villas border the fairways of the Amelkis Golf Club with the beautiful Royal Golf of Marrakech less than a five-minute car ride away.

All villas will be built in the architectural style of Amanjena and for the mutual protection of all villa owners, development restrictions will be in place to ensure the continued architectural integrity of the resort. Villa lots range from 3,600sq m – 5,600sq m. Each villa come with four to six - bedrooms, a private courtyard, swimming pool, living room, dining room, gym or hammam, jacuzzi and a kitchen. Owners can work with the architect to shape a villa that suits their lifestyle, within the architectural standards of the development. For enquiries on purchasing a villa at Amanjena, contact
