Kasbah Tamadot - Virgin Limited Edition !

Hidden in a mystical part of Morocco is a small valley. Half way up to the mountain pass lays a Kasbah, a kind of a fortified Moroccan palace. It was in 1998, during preparations for his round-the-world balloon launch, that Sir Richard Branson's mother Eve first came across this crenellated Kasbah, perched dramatically on a hilltop and surrounded by the peaks of the High Atlas. At that time it belonged to an Italian antiques dealer, who had filled it with treasures from India and Morocco and opened it to his friends on an informal basis. When she introduced this place to Sir Richard, the Tamadot project was born. Seven years later, in February 2005, it was ready. With the extensive gardens carefully landscaped with rose, fruit and cactus plants, the indoor pool and courtyards remodelled to find space for a 5-star spa, and the suites redecorated to combine contemporary design with colourful Moroccan antiques – and let's not forget the small addition of an infinity pool, sundecks and a separate mini-kasbah for families – the Kasbah Tamadot opened its carved and inlaid gates to guests seeking the ultimate in luxury in the heart of Morocco's most spectacular mountains. It is a magical and spectacular place!
