- A signature hammam treatment available for all guests of the resort

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Kasbah Tamadot is one of Sir Richard Branson’s very own hideaways. Coming across the private property of antiques collector and interior designer Luciano Tempo during his around the globe hot air balloon journey, Sir Richard was so amazed by the Kasbah (fortress) that he acquired it and opened its doors to guests in 2005.
The resort features 28 luxurious rooms, suites and tents, some with astonishing views over the beautiful valley and the majestic mountains. Each one has been individually decorated to reproduce the striking architecture of the facility and showcase antiques from all over the world.
With a warm fireside bar for pre-dinner drinks and a spectacular dining area complete with magnificent views, Kanoun Restaurant offers tasty local and international gastronomy marrying local produce and flavours. A signature hammam session in the Asounfou Spa is not to be missed, and for those wanting to discover the neighbouring area, there are a variety of trips available; ranging from short walks to the local village to a trek up Morocco’s highest mountain, Mount Toubkal.

About the location
The Atlas Mountains are a 2,000 kilometre long range that career through North Africa. This near-mystical region is a blend of stuck in time Amazigh villages and boutique hotels with celeb credentials. And it’s all surrounded by spectacular scenery of snow dusted crests, river valleys, juniper woods and green and dusty gorges.
Mount Toubkal is situated in the Great Atlas Mountains and is the highest point in Morocco. It is well known as one of very few ski stations in Africa. During summer time, explorers of the Atlas Mountains can hike up to alpine meadows. A local guide will show you the best spots to enjoy a traditional picnic of lamb tagine and apricot salad between heavenly waterfalls.
And while the Atlas Mountains might seem a world away from civilisation, the magical souks and squares of Marrakech are only a 90-minute drive north.
Transfer time
Kasbah Tamadot is one hour drive from Marrakech Airport.

3:1 staff to guests, and it feels like it. This is a beautiful, intimate resort in one of the most stunning settings you'll find. We were lucky enough to be there over the New Year celebration, and it was a rare New Year that wasn't a let down! Amazing fireworks, great food, great service. And after it all a quiet and comfortable room to crash in. Having gone to the resort after a stay in the Medina of Marrakesh, my first reaction was that it didn't feel "Moroccan enough", but by the end, we saw another side of the country: the countryside, the Berber villages, and the mountains. A great end to our stay.

Set in the Atlas Mountains and surrounded by Berber Villages the terrain and views were breathtakingly beautiful. The people were just delightful and so friendly. There are only 20 rooms and 8 Berber tents. Their attention to detail and service is just beyond expectations. The food was just wonderful along with the presentaion. We spent 4 nights there and are looking so forward to returning.

We spent a day at Richard Branson's resort in The Atlas Mountains.
After arriving, we enjoyed drinks and then chose one of two hike from the property.
The resort itself is a secluded bit of heaven among beautiful mountains and simple Moroccan villages.
We had a delicious lunch outdoors and it was delicious! The breads were the best we had during the trip. Everything is locally grown and the staff are local people.
Truly a wonderful day!
