Kasbah Tamadot
Situated in the spectacular Atlas Mountains in Morocco, the award-winning Kasbah Tamadot was bought by Sir Richard Branson during one of his famous ballooning expeditions. Each of the 29 rooms and suites has been individually decorated to reflect the beautiful architecture of the building and features antiques from all over the world. Six brand new two-bedroom Riads will be available for stays from September 2024.
Morocco stole my heart ever since my late Mum stumbled upon an incredible kasbah while visiting the High Atlas Mountains back in 1998.
That kasbah was Kasbah Tamadot and wasn’t the only thing my parents and I fell in love with, it was the tremendous warmth and hospitality of the Berber people. And even today, in the face of a devastating earthquake that hit Morocco on 8th September, the resilience of the Berber communities is truly heartwarming. Incredibly, all of our team and guests were safe, but they continue to remain our primary concern, along with our communities as we help them to start rebuilding their homes and villages.
Tourism in the Atlas Mountains plays a critical role in the livelihoods of the Berber villages, and we have already set to work rebuilding our beloved Kasbah Tamadot.
In the meantime, we’re so thankful that our beautiful Berber Tents were unharmed, and it is very much our intention to open up a number of these on 16th October with a limited operation, while renovation is ongoing. They will be available to book for those coming into the Atlas Mountains to support the recovery, or for those who are happy to have a more simplified experience in what is still a stunningly beautiful destination. Our team will still be offering wonderful authentic Moroccan food and the tennis courts, hot tub and swimming pool will still be available. By June of next year our beautiful new Riads should be open too.
My thanks as always for your continued support, and of course to our incredible people. Be assured that the truly inspirational Berber communities in the High Atlas Mountains will rise from these devastating circumstances, as will our beautiful Kasbah Tamadot. I can’t wait to be back, and I very much hope to see you visiting our wonderful Berber family very soon too.
Very best,
