MÊÙÊ Ê Marrakech
Amanjena Amanjena, or ‘peaceful paradise’, is the first Aman on the African con nent. The property is located just outside the ancient Moroccan city of Marrakech on the southern road to Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. The High Atlas Mountains claim the Marrakech horizon and the Atlan c coast is just two hours away. The 27-hole Aman property Championship Golf Course lies immediately alongside Amanjena, with two courses, the Royal Golf Course and the Al Maaden Golf Course, just minutes away. Known in Arabic as Al Medina al-Hamra, the ‘Red City’, due to its rosy-hued walls and structures, Marrakech was the inspira on for Amanjena’s design. The resort’s walls and Moroccan luxury villas echo the city’s old pisé (rammed earth) buildings as well as the Berber villages that cling to the High Atlas Mountains. Green is also a predominant colour in the oasis of Marrakech – the colour of Islam, paradise, royalty and abundance. The colour of nature gilds Amanjena, too: its lawns and vines, its emerald-clay roofs, Moroccan marble fountains and the dazzle of hand-cut, glazed les known as zellij.

Amankora Combining the Sanskrit word for ‘peace’ with kora or ‘circular pilgrimage’ in Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language, Amankora is a series of lodges across the central and western valleys of Bhutan. The sole surviving Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom, Bhutan is located between the Tibetan Plateau and India, making it one of the most remote and pris ne environments on earth. Descending from 7,000-metre high peaks in the north to the low-lying plains of the south, Bhutan’s rivers have forged deep valleys separated by high mountain passes. Historically isolated, each valley’s scenic beauty and topography affords visitors an opportunity for unique journeys of discovery between them. To best experience all that Bhutan has to offer, Amankora can tailor journeys that include a combina on of its lodges located in the valleys of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey and Bumthang.

Amansara Situated in Siem Reap, the cultural capital of Cambodia, just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amansara was once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk. Today the walled garden compound serves as a tranquil 24-suite Angkor Wat luxury resort with the ambience of a gracious home. Amansara is the ideal base for travellers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majes c ruins of Angkor. A variety of Cambodia temple excursions and cultural walks is available as part of the guest experience. Amansara derives its name from the twinning of the words ‘aman’ (Sanskrit for ‘peace’) and ‘apsara’, the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu texts. The apsaras, it is said, emerged from the primordial churning of the oceans with the power not only to change their form at will, but also to bestow luck on those they favoured. So all-embracing was their influence on Cambodian mythology and its numerous expressions, that delicate apsara basreliefs decorate prac cally every Angkor temple.

It is an all villa property located in the revered priestly village of Sanur where guests will discover the harmony of Balinese living. For centuries the Balinese have lived in family compounds throughout the island on parcels of land that are symbolic of their heritage and status within society. Tradi onal Balinese architecture implies that everything has a proper and propor onate space – a place to eat, a place to sleep and a place to relax. The gangsa has adapted this unique concept to create a series of private villas where the art of living is free from the complica ons of the outside world. The name ‘gangsa’ refers to the keyed instrument that plays the resonant melodies in a tradi onal Balinese orchestra. This choice of name is a conscious effort to preserve the island’s vibrant culture through tourism.
