Character and identity
An hour's drive from Marrakech, this 24-key kasbah sits walled in gardens above a verdant Atlas valley with Mount Toubkal rising behind. The 1920s fortress was rescued by Richard Branson in 2000, restored again after the 2023 earthquake, and remains a showcase for antiquarian Luciano Tempo's collection of North African, Indian and Asian treasures: bronze chests on staircases, Rajput warriors at doorways, painted ceilings and stucco fireplaces. Accommodation splits between kasbah rooms, Berber tents in the gardens and newer riad suites. Two restaurants, an Asounfou spa with traditional hammam, two pools. Service runs warm and familial, drawn largely from local Berber villages.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples drawn to atmosphere, antiques and mountain quiet; families (the property runs bread-baking, cooking classes, open-air cinema, peacocks and turtles on the lawns); and design-literate travellers who want a properly anchored sense of place rather than a generic resort. Trekkers and anyone using it as a serene counterweight to Marrakech.
Should look elsewhere:
Guests who want beach, urban buzz on the doorstep, or step-free access throughout: the historic kasbah's staircases rule out parts of the old building for those with mobility needs. Anyone after sleek contemporary minimalism will find the maximalist antique layering too much.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is atmosphere: the Tempo collection, the Berber staff who genuinely own the welcome, and a setting that reframes the Atlas as something intimate. Couples should book a kasbah room for the antique-laden character; families are better in a riad suite or tent with terrace. Asayss is the dinner to plan around, and trekking season (spring and autumn) rewards the journey most.
