12 acres of botanical gardens, a bright landscape and unique species, The Majorelle Gardens certainly is a gardener’s bliss. The botanical gardens are located in majestic Marrakech, Morocco and were created by the brilliant Jacques Majorelle.Majorelle was a famous French painter who took his passion for creating unique spaces and paintings and so during the 20’s and 30’s put all of his energy into developing this most enchanted place.
As you walk through the shady paths to explore the exotic plants, flowers and trees you’ll fall into a botanical paradise like never before. One of the things that makes these botanical gardens so unique is the fact that the garden is composed and colored like a painting. It’s as though you’re walking through a colossally surreal garden painting. Channels of water pool into lily-filled ponds and etched in fountains allow you to get back to nature.
Stroll through the park and you’ll fall into a harmonious path. There are predefined paths that reveal bright colors through a vibrant villa-studio of a museum, dwarf palms, a cactus garden and rows upon rows of pink geraniums. It’s not everyday that you can sit back, relax and get back to the magic of the land. But here, in The Majorelle Gardens, now owned by the legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, the spot is bursting at the seams with magic all around. Get lost through the acres of botanical brilliance here, you’ll surely fall in love with the tranquility of the place and may just never want to leave.
