Some of the largest accommodations are the newly built, stand-alone riads, which feature rooms decorated with local textiles, metalwork and ceramics. They also come with private pools or hot tubs.
When it reopened, the hotel also added a new restaurant under a massive canvas tent. Assays serves Moroccan and Western food, some nights offering a traditional Moroccan tasting menu accompanied by live Moroccan music. There’s also an outdoor patio restaurant overlooking the pool for lunch, where every meal begins with an array of Berber flatbreads.
Do leave time to explore the hotel: Indulge in a hammam treatment at the spa, play tennis on the clay courts, partake in a tagine cooking class and enjoy a glass of freshly prepared mint tea with Mohammad, an employee from Asni who has been working here since 2005. All of the employees at Kasbah Tamadot are Moroccan, so ask them for their local tips — they have many.

How to get there
The closest major airport to the Atlas Mountains is Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK), which is seeing an expansion of direct flights from the U.S. that are bookable on points and miles.
United direct flights to Marrakech
Last year, United Airlines launched seasonal direct flights between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to RAK. That route resumes Oct. 25, 2025, and runs through March 28, 2026.
If you use United MileagePlus miles to book this flight from EWR to RAK, one-way economy tickets start at 42,200 miles, and business-class tickets from 180,000 miles (taxes and fees are minimal at around $5.60). United prices its awards dynamically, so you may have to use more miles on peak dates, while even lower pricing may be available to United credit card holders and Premier elite members.
Delta direct flights to Marrakech
Delta Air Lines will launch its own direct seasonal service to Marrakech on October 25, 2025, from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). This service runs through the end of April 2026.
To book this ATL to RAK flight using Delta SkyMiles, expect one-way economy tickets to start at 48,000 miles, and Delta One tickets from 270,000 miles, with taxes and fees around $5.60. Delta awards are also dynamically priced, so expect to use more miles on peak dates. Delta credit card holders can expect discounts on redemptions.
