12 Best Boutique + Luxury Hotels in Marrakech, Morocco - AFAR
"Just over a year after the devastating 2023 earthquake that hit the Atlas Mountains, the 43-room Kasbah Tamadot is reopening in October 2024 with six new three-bedroom riads, a new restaurant, and a refreshed look and feel across the hotel’s rooms, suites, and Berber tents. Sir Richard Branson’s Moroccan mountain hideaway, located an hour outside the city, has always been a hit with those looking for a leisurely hike in the hills around the hotel, a challenging mountain bike ride in the Ouirgane Valley, or an even more challenging excursion in the High Atlas. But the Kasbah offers plenty of ways to relax, too, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a spa for Moroccan massages and hammam treatments. Through the work of the Eve Branson Foundation, Kasbah Tamadot fosters connections with the local communities, and supports its neighboring villages through projects that focus on economic and social transformation, as well as supporting those affected by the earthquake." - Nicola Chilton
