"St Lucia is beautiful, but not in a pastel-chattel-house-sandy-beach way; it's a luxury Caribbean holiday with a difference. Driving on the (slightly unloved) island roads, it is near impossible not to stop to photograph the sheer magnificence of the jungle valleys and soaring Pitons before me"

(Maxine Roberts, Carrier's Head of Marketing)

Sir Richard Branson's Moroccan retreat, Kasbah Tamadot, is set within a lush valley surrounded by the undulating landscape of the Atlas Mountains. Views extend up to Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, and over traditional Berber villages. The property itself, a tapestry of tiled courtyards, bright gardens, authentic décor and tasteful touches, is like an undiscovered secret - perfectly wrapped up in nature's arms. Guests will find panoramic vistas are there to be discovered at every turn. The sublime landscape can be enjoyed in the simplest of ways; read a book by the outdoor infinity pool or become acquainted with the resident mules, Peppermint, Peanut and Paprika, who are ever obliging to show you around. Make sure you also sample delicious dishes al fresco on the rooftop terrace at Kanoun Restaurant - we recommend the tasting menus and local wines.
