Kasbah Tamadot
Sir Richard Branson's kasbah at the foot of Toubkal — twenty-eight suites and Berber tents, pool with a view of the peaks.
Four-thousand-metre peaks, Berber villages, walnut groves and snow. A different Morocco — cooler, quieter, deeper.
The High Atlas is the spine of North Africa. Forty-five minutes from Marrakech, you cross into a country of cold water, walnut trees, mule paths and Berber villages that have not moved in nine hundred years.
Toubkal, at 4,167 metres, is the highest peak in North Africa. You do not need to climb it — the valleys around it, the Ourika, the Azzaden, the Imlil, are where the Maison composes its Atlas stays.
We work with a small circle of Berber mountain guides whose families have been walking these paths for generations. They are not employees; they are old friends of the Maison.

A Berber-owned lodge in the village of Imlil, reachable only on foot or by mule — a Maison favourite for serious mountain clients.
A hilltop hotel in the Ourika Valley, twenty minutes from Marrakech — the finest terraced gardens in the country.
A family farm in the Azzaden valley, opened to the Maison for entire-property stays — hammam, pool, Berber staff.
A day walking from Imlil to the Sidi Chamharouch shrine — Berber tea in village houses along the way, a trout lunch at a stream-side kitchen.
A 4×4 up the Ourika valley — the seven cascades of Setti Fatma, a walnut farm, a lunch by the water, a siesta in the shade.
A mule trek from Tacheddirt into the Azzaden valley, with a Berber lunch in a shepherd's home, and a return through juniper forests.
A day in the Ouirgane valley — an artisanal argan cooperative, a horseback ride along the Nfiss river, a long lunch on a farm.
A short brief from the Maison on the season, the rhythm and the essentials. Bespoke advice upon enquiry.
