Mr & Mrs Smith

Kasbah Tamadot has to rank among the world's very best hotels. We were just blown away by the natural setting and by the property itself. A highlight for us was trekking in the mountains with a Berber guide and a mule handler-- we did the 6-hour Ouarhir hike, which was one stunning view after another plus the chance to wander through several local villages. If six hours seems too cumbersome, then there are always shorter options... either way, you can dive into the infinity pool as a reward at the end of a long day! One more not-to-miss activity is star gazing at night. The sky is just so clear there in the mountains, with no light or industrial pollution anywhere. We pushed the chairs on our balcony together and curled up under a duvet... could have stayed there for hours. Utterly fabulous.

Take the time to arrange a private dining experience – the chef will come and discuss the menu with you and tailor it to your preferences, and the staff go to extraordinary lengths to ensure a private and romantic experience. If possible request a room in the separate part of the hotel (rooms 42–45) which have astounding views over the valley.

I recommend that you don't leave the Kasbah Tamadot for your whole stay - only a fool would! I highly recommend a private meal at a location of your choice anywhere in the hotel.
