Majorelle Garden
Majorelle Garden is a stunning botanical sanctuary in Marrakech, created by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and lovingly restored by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. Wander winding paths through over 300 plant species—from towering date palms and rare cacti to bamboo groves—set against the iconic cobalt-blue villas, Moorish-inspired fountains, tranquil lily ponds and the onsite Islamic Art Museum.

YSL Museum
Designed by Studio KO, the adjacent Yves Saint Laurent Museum showcases Saint Laurent’s haute-couture legacy in a contemporary, light-filled space.
