You’ll be rockin’ your very own Kasbah in Richard Branson’s Moorish villa at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains outside of Marrakesh. And like Branson himself, the property is over the top. Set in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, this is as luxe and as private as it gets. The Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco is the perfect place to rent with your international party crew to make your own version of Moroccan nights.
Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco
When it comes to luxury travel experiences, Morocco is a destination that often jumps to the top of the list. With its stunning scenery and ancient architecture, there’s no shortage of jaw-dropping photo ops in this North African country. And Kasbah Tamadot is one of the most luxurious resorts in all of Morocco, offering guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stay in an authentic Moroccan kasbah.
This luxurious Moroccan retreat promises an unforgettable experience. Close to the chaos of Marrakech, yet another world away, the magnificent hilltop location offers stunning views of the mountains and the surrounding valley, as well as world-class amenities and personalized service.
Located in Asni, one of the Berber villages in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, Tamadot is isolated, yet refreshingly so.
The Vibe
Over the top luxury, yet elegant, maybe even decadent, and beautifully decorated in Moroccan style, Kasbah Tamadot is the place to stay in Morocco. Purchased by Sir Richard Branson on one of his ballooning expeditions, the Kasbah Tamadot has been voted the top hotel in North Africa and the Middle East by Travel & Leisure several years in a row.
The Rooms
Stay in one of the 28 rooms and suites that are scattered about the property, ensuring privacy. The rooms are individually decorated to reflect the beautiful architecture of the building and features antiques from all over the world. All suites have either a terrace or balcony, with nightly turn down service and it’s said the housekeeping staff is among the best in the world.
Or opt to stay in one of the Berber tents for a unique experience, all of which have private decks and some even have private hot tubs.
Either way, a stay at Kasbah Tamadot Morocco is luxury at its finest.
The Perks
If the stunning views and scenery of the Atlas Mountains aren’t enough, Kasbah Tamadot offers plenty of perks to make your stay incredible. Featuring two tennis courts, where you may even see Branson playing a game, gym facilities, an indoor lap pool, plus a heated outdoor pool, hot tub and rooftop terrace, there’s no excuse not to exercise. Then relax in the hot tub, enjoy the rooftop terrace and poolside lounges or covered cabanas.
Continue that relaxation at the onsite spa, which offers a range of skincare and body treatments. Asounfou Spa – the Berber word for relaxation – embodies that perfectly. The spa treatments are a perfect way to relax, or choose to indulge in a traditional hamman.
For the more adventurous, hiking and trekking opportunities are plentiful in the nearby hills, or choose from camel riding or paragliding experiences. Kasbah Tamadot is near Toubkal National Park, which has the highest mountain in North Africa and day trips there are possible.
When you’ve worked up an appetite, head to the Kanoun Restaurant, which serves delicious local and international cuisines. The stunning rooftop dining area offers spectacular views of the Atlas Mountains.
And since you’re in Morocco, why not try the Authentic Berber Experience? Enjoy a 1 hour mule trek, have tea in a local Berber house, visit the Eva Branson Foundation (yes, that’s Richard Branson’s mom), partake in a 1 hour Berber cooking lesson and try your hand at Berber bread baking.
More than just luxury, it’s also about the people, purpose, culture and soul – that’s the magic of Kasbah Tamadot.
