the hidden magic of the jardin majorelle
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main square in Marrakech stands the luscious grounds of the Jardin Majorelle. Designed by French artist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s, the villa consists of a two-and-a-half acre botanical jardin and a cubist villa in striking tones of electric blue and sunny yellow, adorned with giant green cacti. Majorelle had grown the garden from plants sourced from all over the world, set against the vibrant blue of the villa, aptly named “Majorelle Bleu”. Upon decades of pouring his heart and soul into its creation, fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge bought and restored the gardens in 1980 some years after Majorelle passed away and the gardens had been abandoned. Saint Laurent famously praised the Jardin Majorelle as a great source of artistic inspiration.
Nowadays the garden is visited by thousands from around the world, a labyrinth maze of vibrant colours, water lily ponds, blooming flowers and sweeping trees — a beautiful testament to the artists who grew and loved it.
