NOTES

This interior part of Morocco can be cold especially during the winter months.  For any guests who wish to leave the property, car hire would be required.  As is the norm, appropriate dress may be required to enter any religious buildings.

Kasbah Tamadot, Sir Richard Branson’s renowned retreat nestled in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, offers an exceptional blend of traditional Berber charm and luxurious comfort. Situated at the top of a tranquil valley with commanding views of Mount Toubkal, the property lives up to its name—meaning "soft breeze" in Berber—by offering a serene and captivating escape in one of North Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes.

Comprising 42 individually designed rooms, suites, luxury Berber tents, and newly built riads, the property seamlessly combines authentic Moroccan aesthetics with high-end refinement. Furnishings include antiques and traditional décor pieces, many sourced from the collection of previous owner Luciano Tempo. The newly introduced three-bedroom riads each feature a deluxe room, pool suite, and rooftop tented suite, adorned with handcrafted textiles made in partnership with the Eve Branson Foundation. For those seeking a more adventurous stay, the Berber tents offer sweeping mountain views and private terraces, while the rooms and suites in the main building provide garden, pool, or courtyard outlooks, some with private balconies.

Kasbah Tamadot’s dining options highlight the richness of Moroccan cuisine fused with international influences. With a strong focus on fresh, seasonal produce—much of it sourced from the on-site kitchen garden—meals become an integral part of the experience. The elegant Kanoun Restaurant, located in the heart of the property, serves refined dishes that balance local flavour with global inspiration. Meanwhile, the recently opened Asayss restaurant offers a relaxed setting beside the Berber tents and gardens, with communal seating, fireplaces, and a bar, ideal for casual drinks or leisurely meals.

Guests can start the day with a mountain-view breakfast, enjoy poolside lunches, and end with starlit dinners served in their private tent or on one of the rooftop terraces. Each dining space is designed to reflect the region’s warmth, culture, and culinary depth.

Activities at Kasbah Tamadot are as varied as the landscape itself. Guests can relax by the pool, unwind with a spa treatment inspired by Berber rituals, or get active on the two floodlit tennis courts. A fully equipped fitness centre and nearby golf courses provide additional opportunities for physical activity. The hiking and cycling routes around the Atlas Mountains cater to all levels—from gentle scenic walks to adrenaline-pumping rides through rugged terrain. Day trips include visits to the historic Tin Mal Mosque, drives along the dramatic Tizi n’Test Pass, and excursions to traditional villages such as Ouirgane, Tadmamte, and the Ourika Valley.

For those drawn to wellness, the Asounfou spa offers hammam rituals, aromatic massages, and treatments using local ingredients, all within a peaceful mountain setting. Cooking lessons allow guests to delve into Moroccan culinary traditions, crafting a three-course meal with guidance from expert chefs. Open-air cinema nights add a magical touch, with Moroccan-themed films screened under the stars.

Kasbah Tamadot also emphasises community engagement. Through the Eve Branson Foundation, guests are invited to visit nearby villages and meet artisans at local craft centres, where traditional woodwork and weaving techniques are preserved and taught to the next generation. These experiences highlight the cultural richness of the region and the hotel’s commitment to sustainable tourism.

Families are warmly welcomed, with tailored experiences for younger guests. There’s no rigid programme; instead, personalised adventures are crafted based on each child's interests, ranging from nature exploration to creative arts.

Whether seeking tranquillity, adventure, or cultural immersion, Kasbah Tamadot offers a distinctive Moroccan experience marked by beauty, warmth, and authentic hospitality.
