The Kasbah’s surroundings are road free, meaning guests travel the last kilometre from the Berber village of Imlil by mule or on foot. During those first minutes approaching the hotel, life perceptibly slows down. There is time to admire the glorious views, savour the mountain air, and realise more to life than travelling in the fast lane.
There are eight very comfortable guestrooms at Kasbah du Toubkal, several rooftop towers and others around the inner courtyard with private balconies or terraces and en-suite bathrooms. The height of indulgence is the Garden House, with 3 en-suite bedrooms, a sitting room and a private terrace. However, the point of the Kasbah is not the interiors. It is all about the sublime views from every room and vantage point over the surrounding mountainscapes.
The most magnificent, however, is the 360-degree panorama from the carpeted and cushion-piled roof terrace. In conjunction with unobtrusive yet charming staff performing mint tea rituals and offering warm almonds, there can be few more beautiful and uplifting places in the world.
