About the Location

Set above the pretty village of Imlil in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, the Kasbah du Toubkal combines comfort, tranquility and a profound respect for the High Atlas Mountains’ terrain and history. This nature-focused guest house is perfect for adventurous mountain hikes, learning about Berber culture and escaping external stresses.

Highlights & Activities

Hike through historic mountains

Take in the immaculate sights and sounds of Morocco's High Atlas Mountains during a hike. Marvel at impressive rock colors and terrain, providing complete silence while you explore the majestic mountains.

Relax in the soothing hammam

Soak aching muscles in the reviving hammam with wood-fired steam and warm mountain water. A far cry from the demands of busy urban life, the Kasbah’s hammam experience allows you to cleanse and restore a tired mind and body.

Shop artisans and Berber rug makers

Support the local community and discover local makers in the Imlil valley such as rug makers from the High Atlas Mountains and a women's cooperative making Argan oil.

Summit North Africa’s highest peak

The base camp of north Africa's highest mountain, the 4,167m Jbel Toubkal, is a day’s walk away so the Kasbah du Toubkal is an ideal starting point for a challenging yet magical ascent. The summit can be achieved in two days and the Kasbah can take care of all logistics.

Founded in harmony with the High Atlas Mountains and its surrounding terrains, the Kasbah du Toubkal strives to preserve and honor the landscapes and culture of its local Berber community.

The guest house’s rooms were designed using natural materials to blend in thoughtfully with its surrounding mountain landscape. The rooms were renovated in keeping with Berber architecture and artisan craft.

Fully aware of the importance of honoring the Indigenous culture of a place, guests are always asked to wash hands before entering the dining area and the on-site bar does not sell alcohol (guests can respectfully bring their own if they wish). Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the team with rose water splashed on their hands and are served a date, often dipped in milk, to restore energy.

The Kasbah du Toubkal founded the Moroccan charity Education For All to build boarding houses in the local Imlil area to provide girls between the ages of twelve and seventeen with key education and materials that they would otherwise be denied in their rural villages.

The Kasbah du Toubkal only works with local Berber guides to provide them with sustainable employment opportunities and supports Berber women in showcasing and selling their foods such as locally made bread. 80% of staff members are able to walk to work at the Kasbah from their homes, meaning they don’t need to leave the local Imlil area in search of employment opportunities.

Pioneering in Pokhara, Nepal: The Story of Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge

Historically a commercial hub connecting India and Tibet, Pokhara evolved to be a metropolitan city with far more to offer than just trade. Tucked into the Himalayas and sitting on the picturesque Phewa Lake, Pokhara let nature lead the way. The name for Nepal’s second largest city comes from the Nepali word “Pokhari” meaning “pond” so it’s no surprise that natural formations are Pokhara’s greatest protagonist.

Key Lessons from 3 Caribbean Hotels Leading the Way in Regenerative Practices

We explore leading examples of regenerative tourism practices being implemented by three Caribbean hotels such as Hamanasi Resort in Belize, Jade Mountain in Saint Lucia and Rockhouse Hotel in Jamaica at our panel discussion hosted by Davines in Brooklyn, New York. These organizations are not only adopting regenerative practices, but they are also helping to educate people on the importance of sustainability and creating programs to put regulations in place.
