Kasbah Tamadot, Virgin wilderness

Only an hour away from the agitation of Marrakech, Sir Richard Branson’s mother fell in love with a beautiful castle nestled in the wild surroundings at the foot of the Atlas mountains. The British billionaire bought it and, five years later, it is still one of Morocco’s treasures.

 

A peaceful retreat

Now a member of the prestigious Limited Edition by Virgin, including hotels such as Moskito Island and The Roof Gardens in London, The Kasbah Tamabot with its 27 bedrooms and suites overhangs the dry Moroccan valley. All   rooms are individually decorated using traditional Moroccan furnishings and antiques, as well as items from the vast collection of Luciano Tempo, Kasbah Tamadot's former owner. For a total immersion, nine luxurious Berber Tents with their own private deck and plunge pool, offer a breathtaking views of the Atlas mountains. During the hotness of the day, the Asounfou Spa offers a full range of treatments and of course the inevitable Moroccan hammam, the ultimate steam bath. The swimming pool with overflow is probably one of the most exciting sites the hotel has to offer. You can easily understand why Sir Richard Branson fell in love with this place and made it his North African retreat. You might just do the same...
