Kasbah Tamadot is nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, near the village of Asni. It’s approximately a 1-hour drive from Marrakech and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Most guests arrive via private transfer from Marrakech, which can be arranged through the hotel. Alternatively, you can hire a car or take a taxi from the city.

The nearest airport is Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK).

Morocco is served by direct flights from the UK and other major European hubs, with flight times to Marrakech between 3 and 4 hours. Guests travelling from the US can connect either in Casablanca or via a European hub.

Kasbah Tamadot is located one hour’s drive from Marrakech. The hotel is located near Asni, a small Berber village and bustling marketplace in the foothills of Morocco’s spectacular Atlas Mountains.

You can find out more here.

Yes, we can arrange airport transfers and a VIP Airport Service.

The VIP Airport service will quickly speed you through immigration, where you’ll be met off the plane and guided to a separate arrivals lounge stocked with a range of drinks, magazines and WiFi. An official will collect your passports to be stamped and return them to you shortly after. Once cleared through immigration, you will be taken to baggage reclaim and then escorted through the terminal. If you have booked our transfer service, a driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals area of the terminal. The same service is also available when departing Marrakech, and starts from the moment you arrive.

Driving in Morocco can be a bit of a daunting experience, but don’t be put off by the first leg of your journey, as it’s a lot less hectic just outside the city centre. A few tips:

• Drive on the right-hand side of the road.
• The speed limit in built-up areas is 60kph and it is 100kph outside the city.
• There are a lot of speed cameras around the 60kph areas so do be careful. It can also be deceiving because the dual highways leading out of the city have a limit of 60kph, whilst the single-lane roads feeding them are 100kph.
• If possible avoid driving at night. If you do have to drive at night watch out for unlit bikes and motorbikes and be careful as the roads do not have markings like at home.
• When a traffic light starts flashing green, it is the equivalent of an amber light at home and you should stop.

Visa requirements depend on where you are travelling from into Morocco so make sure to check with the Moroccan embassy or your travel professional before setting off.

The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). Dirhams are not available outside Morocco; ATMs are at the airport and in central Marrakech.

Hotels cannot exchange Dirhams; only airports can with a Bureau de Change receipt.

Most restaurants and some market stalls accept credit cards and Euros, but change is usually in Dirhams. In smaller areas, Dirhams are necessary.

Declare 10,000 Dirhams (€900) or more at Customs upon arrival.

If you are staying with us in the summer, pack plenty of lightweight clothes, a sun hat, sunglasses, a swimsuit, and comfortable shoes for walking.

Autumnal temperatures still allow for plenty of outdoor swims, so don’t put away your swimsuit or shorts just yet!

We’d recommend packing a light jacket and sweater too for chillier autumnal or spring evenings, and extra layers when staying in the winter.

Spring days are pleasantly warm with just a small amount of rainfall. In April, the temperatures can range from 12°C to 24°C, with the temperature dropping at night. 

As we enter July, the heat during the day continues to increase,e and by August, we are very much a ‘hot sun’ destination, but a pleasant 10°C cooler than the high temperatures in Marrakech. 

In the autumn months, the evenings start to cool, and the days become a little less intense heat-wise. Towards the end of September, the snow on the tops of the Atlas Mountains starts to return.

December, January and February are the coolest months of the year to visit. With the average temperature at 13°C and the sun still shining, our heated pools are comfortable at 28°C, so a midday swim is still the norm! 

Insurance is always the guest’s responsibility. Make sure you have valid travel insurance that covers your trip.

The atmosphere at Kasbah Tamadot is casual and informal; however, you may choose to wear ‘smart- casual’ attire to dinner. A jacket and tie are never necessary, but feel free to dress up if you wish! Although Morocco is a Muslim country, men and women are welcome to wear shorts, t-shirts and swimwear around the pool area and so on.

When visiting areas outside of our hotel, it is helpful to be mindful of local customs. Morocco is a liberal Muslim country, and locals are used to seeing tourists and are known for their welcoming and friendly attitude toward visitors to their country. We do, however, recommend dressing on the more conservative side in order to respect the local culture.

If you wish to go walking, don’t forget to pack a good pair of trainers (sneakers), sunhat, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen.

Should any of our guests have health concerns, we have first aid equipment and medically trained staff. If necessary, we can arrange for a doctor to come to the property or transport to the medical centre. The nearest hospital is a 1-hour drive away.
