Kasbah Tamadot * * * * *
A destination in its own right and the pride and joy of Sir Richard Branson. This luxurious hideaway attracts many discerning guests who wish to relax, stroll in the jasmine scented grounds and be pampered in one of the two luxurious spas. This top-drawer establishment cannot fail to impress but those who wish to be in on the action may not be amused.

All is enhanced by well-cultivated grounds featuring scented shrubs, cypress trees and a number of vantage terraces placed down the hill.
