The Enchanting Majorelle Garden

Majorelle Garden Blue Villa

In the heart of the modern city of Marrakech lies a tranquil oasis of color and nature: the Majorelle Garden (Jardin Majorelle). Created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, it is one of the most visited sites in Morocco.

A Symphony of Blue and Green

The garden is famous for its distinctive shade of bold cobalt blue, known as "Majorelle Blue," which is used on the villa, fountains, and planters throughout the property. This vibrant color contrasts beautifully with the lush greenery of the exotic plants.

Botanical Wonders

Spread over two and a half acres, the garden hosts a vast collection of plants from five continents. You'll find towering bamboo groves, rare cacti, palms, and aquatic plants floating in lily ponds. It is a living work of art, designed to be a "cathedral of shapes and colors."

The Berber Museum

Housed in the former studio of Jacques Majorelle, the Berber Museum showcases a rich collection of Berber artifacts, including jewelry, costumes, and tools. It offers a fascinating insight into the indigenous culture of North Africa.

Yves Saint Laurent Museum

Just next door is the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, dedicated to the life and work of the legendary fashion designer. It features a permanent exhibition of his couture creations, sketches, and photographs.

A visit to the Majorelle Garden is a peaceful retreat from the busy streets of Marrakech, offering artistic inspiration and natural beauty at every turn.
