Should you be wondering which kasbah caught the eye of a billionaire on a hot air balloon flight over Morocco, Tamadot did just that and was quickly transformed into a luxury hideaway in the Atlas Mountains. Previously owned by a world-renowned antiquarian, it's brimming with stunning oil paintings and ornate tapestries and antiques from across the world. Lose track of time while exploring the rose-scented gardens, or with a deep tissue massage in the spa tent amongst the fruit trees. And the cuisine? It's (almost) too good to eat, with specialities including spiced lamb tagine, local favourite, pigeon pastilla, and roasted pears with mascarpone for dessert.

To put it plainly, the rooms are gorgeous. Ornate antiques and glossy silks, velvet couches, and generous paintings under mosaic ceilings fill the rooms with colour. Handmade for the hotel, the King-sized beds are cushy and wonderful, and most rooms have a lounge area and terrace. The suites are stunning with grand arches, plush furnishings and a fireplace. Further down the garden, the Master Suite is a mini kasbah with three bedrooms, huge Moroccan bathtubs, a private pool and rooftop terrace. Kasbah Tamadot also has six luxury riads.
If you can, book to stay in one of the opulent Berber-style tents for a dash of luxury safari - there are heated rugs, sun decks and private hot tubs!
For an extra special foray into Moroccan cuisine, try it all on the chef's tasting menu or push the boat out with a traditional Berber feast.
If you're a family or looking for an adults-only hideaway, kids are only allowed to stay during school holidays. Choose wisely!
