Kasbah d’If : An escape into luxury and stillness near Marrakesh
Just beyond the hum of Marrakesh, where the sand plains of the Agafay Desert rise toward the snow-dusted Atlas Mountains, Kasbah d’If emerges like a mirage rooted in history. Perched on a hill along the road to Amizmiz, the property commands sweeping views of desert and mountains alike, often prompting passing travelers to slow down, stop, and take it in.
Built from local stone, earth, and wood, Kasbah d’If is the result of a painstaking restoration from its owners, guided by ancestral Moroccan craftsmanship. Artisans from across the country—stone masons, carpenters, weavers, metalworkers, and gardeners—were brought together to revive the structure with a clear philosophy: preserve authenticity while introducing discreet modern comfort. The result is a rare balance of raw beauty and refined simplicity, where tradition is not staged but lived.
The kasbah was in fact discovered almost by chance, a serendipitous encounter that led to a long-term commitment to restore its soul rather than reinvent it. Interiors favor natural textures, muted desert tones, handwoven textiles, and custom-made furniture, allowing the surrounding landscape to remain the true focal point. Silence, space, and light define the experience.
Today, Kasbah d’If positions itself as more than a hotel—it is a destination in its own right where luxury matches the discovery of Morocco culture and spirit. The property features 37 spacious suites, with rates starting from €527, designed to offer privacy and uninterrupted views.
Five distinct dining venues explore Moroccan and Mediterranean influences or international cuisine, emphasizing seasonal ingredients and slow, thoughtful cuisine. Every restaurant and bar within the Kasbah has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the beauty of its surroundings and the rich culinary heritage of the region.
A wellness and spa center completes the experience, with treatments inspired by local rituals such as hammam, black soap exfoliation and massages, performed with botanical-infused oils providing a tailored approach.
Located next to Marrakesh but far enough to avoid crowds, Kasbah d’If chooses restraint. It appeals to travelers seeking distance from the city without disconnecting from Moroccan culture – the true luxury of this hotel.
