Dream Destination: Kasbah Tamadot

Owner Richard Branson “discovered” this magical hideaway near Marrakesh while he was circumnavigating the globe in a hot-air balloon. Explore the rose-filled, dusty-pink courtyards connected by weaving pathways, with tangled gardens in secret corners and magnificent views of the Atlas Mountains. Kasbah Tamadot (meaning “soft breeze” in the Berber language) includes 28 rooms, suites and romantic Berber tents. There’s a stunning pool, hammam spa, tennis courts and cooking classes to keep you entertained. Beyond the resort, guests can trek the high peaks, visit ancient mosques or ride a mule.
