Kasbah Tamadot Kasbah Tamadot

A purposeful sense of mystery surrounds this walled retreat in the Atlas mountains of Morocco. Kasbah Tamadot only reveals itself to the lucky few passing through its heavy wooden doors.

Golden hues amplify the fragrance of flowers and fresh herbs hanging in the air around Sir Richard Branson's Kasbah Tamadot hotel. Whether you choose to stay in the heart of the retreat, or follow the paths through the herb gardens to the ten luxury Berber Tented Suites, you will be delighted to discover traditional Moroccan furnishings and antiques as well as rare artifacts from all over the world adorning the walls.

Richard Branson’s mother Eve was the driving force behind his decision to purchase the property, boasting 42 individually decorated rooms and suites welcoming guests seeking relaxation and a break from the daily routine. Over 90% of the staff are from the local Berber villages, adding to the feeling of staying in a private home.

True to form, this Virgin Limited Edition property offers a balance of leisurely activities and more exciting endeavors that extend far beyond a dip in of the pool or a quick tennis match on the private courts. Everything from mule rides in the mountains to hiking in the Atlas mountains to hot air balloon rides over Marrakech is available to guests.

And of course, one would be remiss to visit North Africa and not experience a Hammam - a traditional Moroccan skin cleansing ritual.
