Kasbah Tamadot: Three MICHELIN Keys and Restoration

Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas, which opened in 2023, was honoured with One MICHELIN Key, recognising it as ‘a very special stay with character, personality, and service that goes the extra mile to create unforgettable experiences’.


Kasbah Tamadot, located in the foothills of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, re-opened one year ago having undergone major restoration works and expansion to include six riads and a second restaurant, following the devastating earthquake that occurred in the region in September 2023. 


With the local community at its heart and 100% of employees hailing from Morocco, the hotel offers guests not only exceptional accommodation but a true Berber experience, celebrating local tradition while supporting and uplifting the surrounding communities in partnership with its charitable arm, The Eve Branson Foundation. 


The magical retreat features individually designed suites, Berber Tents and three-bedroom Riads with private pools and breathtaking views of Mount Toubkal. The hotel’s spa offers a traditional hamman experience and locally inspired treatments for both adult guests and children aged four upwards, while its two restaurants offer dining experiences that blend authentic Moroccan cuisine with international flavours.

Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas: A New Retreat Honoured


Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas
is set on an 810-acre estate within a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mallorca’s Tramuntana Mountain region. The 16th century Finca building at the heart of the estate has been beautifully restored to combine traditional Mallorcan charm with modern luxury.
