Description
Kasbah Tamadot is an authentically styled boutique property less than an hour from Marrakech. Dramatically set in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and with stunning views towards Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in north Africa, and a steep lush river valley below, the kasbah is a walled retreat with peaceful courtyards and landscaped gardens.
Within the kasbah’s walls, the eighteen individually styled rooms and suites, as well as the common areas, are decorated with an eclectic mix of Arabian, Indian and Far Eastern antiques and artefacts. These have been lovingly collected over time by the kasbah's former owner, a renowned interior designer and antiques dealer. Located in the gardens are six stunning and spacious Berber Tents, each with its own sun deck and private plunge pool.
Enjoy the chef's freshly prepared Moroccan and international dishes in one of the bars or in the stunning main restaurant, Kanoun or even on the kasbah's roof terrace. For romantics, private dining is possible at any of the secluded locations in the kasbah and its gardens. Ingredients are sourced locally and menus change according to the season. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service levels are as you would expect from one of Sir Richard Branson’s Limited Edition properties.
There is a full range of activities available from tennis to quad biking to trekking and hot air ballooning. During the school holidays the activities available for children are endless and include to treasure hunts, mule trekking, Moroccan tea parties, pool parties and getting to know the kasbah's menagerie of camels, mules and donkeys. For those seeking pampering and relaxation, the Asounfou Spa and Hammam await and offer a genuine world-class retreat with a full range of holistic treatments available for both men and women. There are also two swimming pools - an outdoor horizon pool overlooking the mountains and a stunning indoor oasis of calm.
