LOCATION :
The latest creation of Meryanne Loum-Martin, Jnane Tamsna comprises three houses - Jnane House, Moussafir House and Dar Ylane - with a total of 17 bedrooms within a walled garden. The property is located in a protected palm grove with spectacular views of the High Atlas mountains to the south, and the smaller Jbilet range to the north. Pounded earth walls enclose the entire estate. The houses blend the traditional Medina architecture of interior courtyards and fountains with the space, light and vegetation typical of the Palmeraie. Jnane Tamsa offers a romantic way to discover Marrakech and understand why it has become a legend. Aromatherapy and massage - as well as a poolside area for reading, meditation and yoga - lend a relaxing mood to the estate. Blended fruit juices are served in the courtyards or verandas, and special light meals are available. You may eat in the oriental way, reclining on pillows on the roof terrace, dine by candlelight on the veranda, or gather around a table in a secluded corner in the garden.
ACCOMMODATION : All rooms have central heating and are en suite. All beds can be turned into twin beds except the four poster bed of Celadon room. There are two pools and one clay surface tennis court. Jnane House is next to the large pool in a spacious private garden. Moussafir house has easy access to a smaller lap pool and a private garden, and each of the suites has its own television, DVD player and stereo. Guests can enjoy all gardens and both pools, except when one of the houses is rented in exclusivity.
All designed objects in the house - art, china, crafts, furniture, sculptured frames and textiles - may be purchased by guests. In addition, selected culinary and health products used at Jnane Tamsna, from argan oil to bath essences, are available. Ongoing investments in ecologically appropriate landscaping and technology ensure that the Jnane Tamsna estate is environmentally friendly. Planting of arid zone and Mediterranean species minimizes the need for irrigation. All waste water is treated on site and used for ornamental gardens. Jnane Tamsna is committed to using a percentage of its profits to improve the landscaping and environmental technology on the estate. This will include planting of additional water efficient gardens, composting of organic refuse and investment in solar water pumps, among other measures.
