ATLAS MOUNTAINS & BEYOND
A visit to the Atlas Mountains is easily combined with a stay in Marrakech. Spectacular landscapes, remote villages and the warm hospitality of the Berber people make the Atlas Mountains a rich and rewarding region for trekking and walking.
KASBAH TAMADOT – NEAR ASNI
Kasbah Tamadot, part of the Virgin Limited Edition Portfolio, is set on the
side of the rolling hills of the Atlas Mountains. The views in every direction
are simply stunning while inside the protective walls guests will discover
beautiful gardens and an extensive and inviting complex of staircases and
courtyards. There are eighteen bedrooms and suites all individually designed
using traditional Moroccan furnishings and antiques with a hint of the contemporary.
In the beautifully tended gardens, a grand staircase leads down to an infinity-edge
pool affording spectacular views and two tennis courts. Inside you will find
an indoor pool with a spa, a traditional hammam, salon and one of the finest
restaurants in Morocco ‘Kanoun’.
BAB OURIKA – OURIKA
Bab Ourika perches majestically on a hilltop at the apex of the Ourika Valley,
guarding the gateway to the snow–capped Atlas Mountains – yet it is only 35 minutes
from Marrakech’s International airport. With 360 degree panoramic views, this
innovative new hotel receives warm sunlight all day, ending in spectacular sunsets.
From its unique eyrie–like position it offers a birds eye view of the Atlas, of
traditional Berber villages and of the lush river valley below.
KASBAH DU TOUBKAL – IMLIL
This rustic mountain retreat is spectacularly situated in the shadow of Jbel
Toubkal, North Africa’s highest mountain and the Kasbah can only be
reached from the village by a twenty minute walk or mule ride up a rocky path.
There are a wide range of trekking options, from short guided walks through
local villages to more demanding multi-day treks with further details on request.
