Amanay Home provides a unique and authentic Amazigh experience by offering simple, characterful rooms in a remote Amazigh village at the base of the Atlas Mountains. When you step behind the wooden door which welcomes you into the property, it almost feels like you’re stepping back in time. The property consists of three lovingly restored traditional houses designed in keeping with the architecture and ambiance of the area. This property is totally original and will give you the most authentic experience of a traditional, rural Moroccan home. Bedrooms are cosy and have been designed with earthy tones and traditional furnishings. Characterful and individual touches can be found in every nook and cranny of the property, such as the China vases set back in the bedroom walls, or the colorful rugs which adorn the terraces. The staff will welcome you like family and do whatever they can to make your stay as special as possible. The word “Amanay” means peaceful and peace is exactly what you’ll discover when you step into this traditional guesthouse in the mountains.

Each room at Amanay Home has been individually decorated in a tasteful, traditional style. Rooms are cosy but practical and come equipped with an ensuite bathroom with shower, towels and eco-friendly toiletries. Bedrooms do not have air conditioning, but are equipped with electric fans if the weather is hot. There is also a small seating area to relax in each room. The bedrooms are located across two floors and look out across the central courtyard complete with its orange trees to provide some shade and privacy. The charming courtyards and terraces provide plenty of space for enjoying the local setting and gorgeous views.

Location

Amanay Home is situated close to Ouraken Village at the base of the Atlas Mountains, roughly a one hour drive from Marrakesh. You’ll wake up to the sounds of donkeys, cockerels and rural freneticism as you really feel like you’re in the thick of the mountain communities here. Please be aware that due to the rural location of Amanay Home, electricity can be intermittent at times.
