Luxury Atlas Mountains Holidays

The Atlas Mountains offer world class views, comprising snow capped peaks, magnificent valleys and deep gorges. This incredible mountain range spans over 1,200 miles across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and even offers the only ski resort in Africa. The area is also peppered with traditional Berber villages, home to the indigenous people of North Africa - a culture over 4,000 years old.

If you’re into hiking, the Atlas Mountains are the perfect location for you. Choose to scale Mount Toubkal, the highest point in Morocco, or tour the alpine valleys and gorges of the area with a local guide. Bustling Marrakech is only a 90 minute drive north too, so if you fancy a day exploring the markets and squares of this vibrant city, it’s right there waiting for you. Or, head an hour south to spend the day at Morocco’s number one seaside resort, Agadir, with its gorgeous golden sand.

For those looking for a truly luxurious stay in the Atlas Mountains, Sovereign recommends Kasbah Tamadot. Nestled right in the foothills, this hotel boasts magical views over the surrounding valleys.

There’s even an al fresco roof terrace, an infinity pool and open air cinema nights. It’s no surprise that Sir Richard Branson fell in love with the resort!
