Thrilled to reopen Kasbah Tamadot, our spectacular Moroccan boutique hotel in the Atlas Mountains. It has been partially closed for the past year after the region was hit by an earthquake. I visited just days after the earthquake, and even in the face of adversity, it was inspiring to see the hospitality and the warmth of the Berber people, even when many of them had lost family members and homes. I was so proud to see Kasbah Tamadot’s team and the Berber communities come together to support relief efforts alongside The Eve Branson Foundation, raising more than £1 million in its Earthquake Emergency Relief Fund. While the rebuild happened, all of Kasbah’s staff continued to be employed and the Berber Tents remained open to support tourism and relief efforts in the surrounding areas. We always said we would bring back Kasbah Tamadot better than ever and I’m incredibly thankful to all the wonderful people that have made that happen. It's been great spending time with them and welcoming new guests. Tourism is so important for Morocco’s people. If you are thinking of visiting in the future, I’d urge you to do so as it is quite magical: https://virg.in/4e9sTmE Virgin Limited Edition

I was lucky enough to go visit Kasbah Tamadot some 15 years back and it just left me speechless - amazing energy which equal the views and the staff “ VIRGIN” which is for me a top exclusive standard of service which seems to seemlessly happen - you don’t feel anyone over eager to make you do anything but the way things are presented to you - you just can’t resist. It’s nestled up in the mountains a little way off from the centre but there is NO DOUBT that it’s worth it! The TENTS are to die for … it brings the best mixture to me - of the top safari Southern Africa luxury tents mixed with all the Morrocan touches 🔥A must when travelling to Marrakech … I would mix a couple of nights at Virgin’s Riad for all the hustle and bustle of shopping and local culture and then how many nights you can at the Kasbahh Tamadot. Sorry to hear the earthquake hit hard your way but so happy to hear you have reopened 🫶🏼

It’s truly heartwarming to see Kasbah Tamadot reopen after such a challenging time for the region. The resilience of the Berber communities and the dedication of your team are remarkable, especially in the face of such adversity. It’s wonderful to hear how the efforts of The Eve Branson Foundation and the Earthquake Emergency Relief Fund have made a tangible impact. Tourism plays such a vital role in supporting local communities, and I’m sure Kasbah Tamadot will continue to be a beacon of hope and hospitality in the Atlas Mountains. Congratulations to all involved in the rebuild!

Beautiful, Can't wait to visit one day. I stayed at the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas and was amazed by it. Congratulations and keep up the good work sir. Do you have plans on opening any property in Tunisia? I wonder 🤔 Best. Imen

Can only imagine what the team spirit would be like after being looked after through such a difficult time! I would also imagine the knock on effect would be an amazing stay for guests

Richard, you should come and revisit us in Gran Canaria. Seeing as you're so close. Interestingly, the original inhabitants of the Canary Islands, before the Spanish conquest, were Berbers. Archaeologists theorize that they were exiled slaves from landlocked regions. This explains why there was no inter-island travel. They simply had no knowledge of boatbuilding.

It's beautiful there, I would seriously consider taking a vacation there to get some rest and relaxation.
