Nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Sir Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. The boutique hotel mixes traditional Moroccan décor with antiques from around the world, and each of the 28 rooms are individually decorated. You can stay in one of the bedrooms in the main house or one of the ten ultra-luxe Berber Tent Suites. And though the interiors are stunning, the real showstopper is the scenery – from the serene courtyards to the sweeping views of the mountains, valleys, and a traditional Berber village.
The peaceful setting. Kasbah Tamadot is only 45 minutes from energetic Marrakech but feels worlds away. The name itself means “soft breeze” in Berber, and the property embodies that tranquil sentiment. During your stay, you can find your inner calm at the spa, wandering through gardens, gazing at the stunning scenery, or sipping on a glass of wine under the stars.
Don’t leave without indulging in the spa. The Asounfou Spa has a traditional Moroccan Mammam experience as well as other treatments that will leave you relaxed and rejuvenated.
If you want to see authentic Morocco, don’t miss the Berber experience that Kasbah Tamadot offers. You can ride mules, visit a local Berber house, have a cooking lesson, and see one of the craft centers.
Kasbah Tamadot has one restaurant, Kanoun, where you can enjoy local and international cuisine fireside. In warm weather, the hotel also sets up dining spots on the rooftop or in the pristine grounds.
