Kasbah Tamadot is Sir Richard Branson’s retreat at the top of a valley near the Berber village of Asni, about an hour from Marrakech in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, with views of Mount Toubkal, its name meaning soft breeze in Berber. It has 37 rooms, riads, suites and Berber tents, all individually decorated with traditional Moroccan furnishings and antiques.
Dining is at the refined Kanoun restaurant, using on-site organic garden produce with mountain views, and the relaxed Asayss restaurant beside the Berber tents, plus poolside Berber feasts, rooftop dinners and cooking lessons. There is a spa, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Experiences run from Atlas Mountains hiking to a Kasbah Kids club and weddings. Part of Virgin Limited Edition and awarded three Michelin Keys, it suits couples, families and groups who want a characterful mountain retreat within easy reach of Marrakech.
