Reopening on 15 October 2020, Amanjena is a verdant oasis of palm and olive trees and lies just outside the fabled red city of Marrakech. The resort’s rose-hued architecture is inspired by ancient Moorish heritage, and its pisé-de-terre walls, vaulted ceilings and decorative arches echo the style of a sultan’s palace.

Designed around an emerald reflective basin that immediately conjures up sentiments of zen-like calm, the resort provides the space, peace and discretion of a private haven, away from the energetic bustle of the nearby city, with only 40 standalone guest pavilions and maisons.

Also reopening are on weekends from October 1st are Amangalla and Amanwella in Sri Lanka. The properties offer an escape for those seeking a little luxury closer to home, with both properties offering the unique blend of space, privacy and peace that makes Aman properties so sought after.

Resting on tree-lined Church Street, Amangalla opened in 2004 after a sensitive restoration conceptualised by Kerry Hill. Today its historic veranda and magnificent Great Hall, or ‘Zaal’ as it was known in Dutch times, welcome guests much as they did from 1683 as part of what was then the New Oriental Hotel.

Further along Sri Lanka’s sun-drenched south coast, about 75km from Galle, a winding track through lush jungle finally reveals Amanwella and its incomparable coastal setting. Perched above a private golden sand beach that stretches the length of the bay, this tranquil retreat opened in 2005 as the perfect rural complement to Amangalla – as ideal for families looking to reconnect with nature, as for honeymooners in search of romance.

Residents of Sri Lanka are being extended a special invitation, with both resorts offering exclusive rates for their ‘Closer to Home’ program which includes stays on a half board basis, alongside special reductions on spa experiences and dining across each resort’s restaurants to ensure that guests enjoy their weekend stays to the full.
