A Mountain Retreat with a Local Story

Kasbah Tamadot, near the village of Asni in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains, is part of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Limited Edition collection. Originally a historic residence, the property was acquired by Branson in 1998 and subsequently developed into a luxury retreat overlooking the surrounding valleys.

A Kasbah with a History

The property combines individually decorated rooms and suites with luxury Amazigh-style tents and private riads. Its interiors incorporate Moroccan antiques, traditional furnishings and textiles made by local artisans.

Following the 2023 earthquake in the High Atlas, Kasbah Tamadot underwent an extensive restoration. Six new three-bedroom riads were introduced, each with private outdoor space and a swimming pool.

The Connection with Local Communities

Kasbah Tamadot has a long-standing relationship with the surrounding Amazigh villages. The Eve Branson Foundation, established by Richard Branson's mother, supports local initiatives in education, embroidery, weaving and woodworking.

The hotel employs a Moroccan team, with many staff members coming from neighbouring communities. Guests can also arrange visits to local craft programmes and learn more about the region's traditional skills.

Staying in the Atlas Mountains

The property offers mountain walks, Moroccan cooking experiences, a hammam and spa facilities. Its restaurant Asayss serves Moroccan and international dishes using local produce, including ingredients from the hotel's kitchen garden.

Located approximately one hour from Marrakech, Kasbah Tamadot can be combined with a city stay while introducing a different part of Morocco.
