As the northern hemisphere autumn fast approaches, there’s never been a better time to escape to Morocco and unwind in the Atlas Mountains by booking to stay at Kasbah Tamadot, Sir Richard Branson’s award-winning luxury retreat.

Kasbah Tamadot

For arrivals from November 1 until December 1, 2010, when you book to stay for four nights or more, the final night is free.

Guests can choose from a luxurious Berber Tented suite, with its own private plunge pool or a Moroccan-inspired Kasbah Tamadot room or suite. Rates start from EUR 395 (AUD $545) per room per night based on double occupancy, including breakfast.

Kasbah Tamadot is set at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains located in Asni, approximately 45 minutes drive from Marrakech in Morocco.

For those who like the idea of being adventurous during their stay why not try a mule ride and trekking in the Atlas Mountains; or for those who wish to seriously relax they can treat themselves to a traditional Hammam in the luxurious Asounfou spa.

There is also a gym, heated outdoor infinity pool and heated indoor pool, tennis courts and a library complete with a fireplace, books and much more.
