Kasbah Tamadot
About Kasbah Tamadot
Kasbah Tamadot is Sir Richard Branson's extraordinary mountain retreat, perched high in the Atlas Mountains near the village of Asni, just an hour from Marrakech. Originally purchased by Branson's mother Eve during a balloon expedition, the property has been transformed into one of Morocco's most exclusive and enchanting boutique hotels.
The kasbah blends traditional Berber architecture with Branson's signature eclectic style. Each of the 28 rooms and suites is individually designed, featuring antiques collected from around the world alongside local Moroccan craftsmanship. The infinity pool appears to float above the dramatic valley below, framed by snow-capped peaks and terraced orchards.
Guests can embark on guided treks through Berber villages, ride mules to remote mountain hamlets, take cooking classes in traditional Berber cuisine, or simply relax in the world-class spa while gazing at the ever-changing mountain panorama. The hotel also supports the local community through the Eve Branson Foundation.
