Shopping in Marrakech doesn’t come much more luxurious than the three boutiques at the Amanjena hotel, all selling wonderful designer clothes, fabrics, jewellery and candles by the likes of Valerie Barkowski (of Mia Zia fame), Bridgette Perkins. It’s a long way to go, but you might also like to visit the hotel’s spa, lunch at the poolside Thai restaurant or simply admire the opulent architecture. Booking ahead for the spa and restaurant is essential.
