Travellers' Choice
Kasbah du Toubkal is the number one property of choice for comfortable hotel accommodation in the village of Imlil and the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Just 90 minutes from Marrakech, the Kasbah (1820 m) is set on a hilltop in the Toubkal National Park below the towering flanks of Jbel Toubkal (4167 m), the highest mountain in North Africa. The region of Imlil is in striking contrast to the busyness of the city and is a place of peace and quiet surrounded by nature. The Kasbah is 100 metres above our reception in Imlil and is reached via a 15-minute walk (mules carry your luggage). The award-winning hotel offers fourteen comfortable en-suite rooms, three of which can be used as a private self-contained house. In addition, there are three family rooms. The delightful garden and large terraces offer unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains. Our friendly and knowledgeable local Berber team will make every effort to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as it can be.

The room was very comfortable and cosy, and the food was absolutely delicious. There wasn't a menu, so they bring out your food when you arrive, and both evenings it was excellent, all whilst on a beautiful terrace overlooking the stunning mountains. Perfect for a week long trekking trip or a couple of days in the mountains away from Marrakech.

Amazing atmosphere- pure clean air, fabulous views and friendly and attentive staff. The fire lighting service in the rooms as it gets cool in the evenings was a lovely touch. The massages were great, so relaxing with just birdcall and the river no irritating tinkly music. The food was lovely and the cookery class first rate. We will be back.

If you are in good shape and not daunted by climbing some steep and rocky paths, this remote lodge will give you an authentic Atlas mountain stay with incredible vistas and friendly staff. The rooms are clean but rustic, the food good but basic. This is where you’ll get a real feel for rural life in Morocco. My husband and I found the climb up and down from the Kasbah du Toubkal very challenging—it’s quite long and a good part is on very rough burro trails—but our stay was wonderful. Just be forewarned that if you have walking issues or trouble with climbing many stairs, this may not be the right choice for you.

What a spectacular week in Morocco. Our guide on our 5 day trek in the Atlas mountains was Omar. He was excellent and went out of his way to accommodate our wishes including my wife’s crazy desire to swim in the waterfalls. He was pleased to take time when we wished to soak up the atmosphere of one of the many amazing locations. Everyone we have met has been enthusiastic to share their wonderful country and are extremely welcoming. The trip was well organised by Discovery, which we will certainly be recommending to family and friends.

Kasbah du Toubkal was a true high point (figuratively and literally) of our visit to Morocco. Set in the High Atlas mountain range, the views are extraordinary. It's a hikers' paradise, with walks to falls through high-altitude villages set in lush fields and sculpted terraces. Our rooms were generous and well-appointed. Meals were mostly traditional Moroccan fare, nicely prepared, if not innovative. By chance, co-founder Chris McHugh was in from London during our stay. Chris is a splendid story-teller who shared stories of how he and his brother rescued what was a crumbling kasbah and turned it into this mountain gem. (Bonus: Chris is a hard core Dead Head.) Two small notes of caution. First, you leave your car at the base of the hill and hike 20 minutes up to the Kasbah. Local muleteers will port your bags for a small tip, and you can even arrange a ride if you need it. Second, the kasbah does not have a liquor license, so you're encouraged to bring your own. Kasbah du Toubkal is closely linked to the Education for All foundation, funding boarding schools that provide quality schooling and opportunities to open doors for local girls. They do impressive work. Overall, the vibe at Kasbah du Toubkal is casual, welcoming, and laid-back. If you love the mountains, "wow" vistas, and hassle-free local hospitality, this is a can't-miss stop on your Moroccan vacation.…

Kasbah Du Toubkal is a truly special place. Lahcen and the team arranged the entire of our 7 day holiday, starting with two nights at a beautiful riad in Marrakech and followed by five nights at the Kasbah itself. Everything was planned to perfection, which left us to relax and enjoy the holiday. The holiday itself ticked all the boxes. The food - fantastic and plentiful, the accommodation - clean, comfortable and truly unique, the hospitality - superb. The highlight was undoubtedly the hiking in the Atlas Mountains. The hikes were well planned, perfectly paced and were the best way to see the breathtakingly beautiful scenery. We were also treated to some unbelievable meals while out walking, which truly felt like hiking in style. We would also like to make a special mention for our guide, Abdul. From welcoming us on our first day in Imlil to our last day hiking back to the Kasbah, he helped to make the trip something that will live long in our memory. We were very grateful for his care and attention for our needs, in conjunction with a brilliant sense of humour and an encyclopedic knowledge of the area. We will miss his company immensely. …

In this hotel you can only arrive by foot, your lugguage is transported by a mule. After a 15 minute uphill walk you feel immediately at home in the cosy guestroom with several fireplaces and off course a welcoming tea with a little sweet snack. From here you walk to the Toubkal mountain or there are several other great hikes to make with local guides. After a hike you can use the Hamman for relaxiation of the muscles. The building is made from loam and stones which gives a very authentic feeling. They do a prefect job in avoiding the use of plastic water bottles by offering water from a purified mountain source which taste great. Their service and attention for the guests is very good.

We spent a wonderful three nights over Christmas at Kasbah du Toubkal. The situation is unsurpassed - authentic Berber architecture atop a hill above Imlil with superb views of Toubkal and the Atlas high range. Our lovely room was up steep stairs in the romantic tower building. Delicious Berber breakfasts and dinners are served inside the main building at traditional low tables. Lunch on the terrace upstairswith sweeping views. We engaged guide Hassan Ait Bounacer for two day treks. He was knowledgeable, delightful and sympathetic to our every need. Soaking in the hammam on site after trekking is one of the great experiences. Be prepared to walk up a steep path from the village with a mule bearing your luggage, once you have come to the end of the road allowing motor cars in the village!…

A great place to stay while trekking for the right guests. Trek guides were amazing, especially Abdul Azez, who guided by husband and daughter on a long trek. The wait staff was pleasant and both breakfast and dinner were good. The Kasbah is more rustic than places in the US, and can only be reached via a somewhat difficult trek, but do not be afraid to request a mule and ride up in style.

Off grid, low key, no frills - but fabulous setting, people, food. The perfect launchpad to spend time in the mountains, either for full on trekking or for a less taxing hike. We went after a few days in Marrakesh and loved it. Highly recommend.
