- Sir Richard Branson’s privately owned hotel, located in the heart of the Great Atlas Mountains
- 28 deluxe rooms, suites and Bedouin tents to choose from
- A signature hammam treatment available for all guests of the resort
- Suitable for both couples and families with children
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.

Location in the Atlas Mountains is great and gives plenty of opportunity to explore the Berber way of life. Less than an hour from Marrakech. Hotel decor and facilities are exceptional. The room we had was so comfy; we wanted for nothing. Views over the mountains at breakfast, lunch and dinner, especially with the sunset, are beautiful. Service is second to none and staff are all friendly and helpful and can???t do enough for you. We visited during Ramadan and 40+ temperatures and still service was superb all day. Food is first class. So relaxing by the pool and wandering in the grounds. What a place to chill. Do visit the Eve Branson Foundation. Well done Sir Richard and Virgin.

This is Richard Branson's "hideaway" outside of Marrakech. I wanted to check it out as I'm a fan of Mr. Branson and it seemed like a fun thing to do and a great way to escape the Marrakech heat. I'd read that the food was excellent, and various other positive things.
Though I enjoyed myself there, I did not find that the food was special at all. I also felt like the service was strange in that they seemed more interested in my happiness for potential tips than for any other reason. It was subtle but palpable. I was taken on a tour of the grounds and rooms, which I appreciated, but, again, I felt that pressure whereas at first it just felt like a kind thing for them to do.
I'
The decor is "interesting"... Some of the details were pretty but others were downright tacky.
I'm not sorry I went, as I would have otherwise been extremely curious, but I've been to so many gorgeous properties in Morocco, and eaten such amazing food... This just wasn't all that exceptional.
