After the noise of the medina, the Jardin Majorelle feels like stepping into a painting. French artist Jacques Majorelle began creating the garden in the 1920s around his studio, painted in the intense cobalt now known as Majorelle blue. Decades later, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé bought and restored it, saving it from development. Today it is the most visited site in Marrakech.

What you'll see

The garden: shaded paths wind between towering bamboo, palms, bougainvillea and an outstanding collection of cacti and succulents, with lily ponds, fountains and pots painted in bright yellow, green and blue.
The blue villa: Majorelle's Art Deco studio, the garden's showpiece and Marrakech's most photographed building.
The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts: inside the studio, a small but beautiful collection of jewellery, textiles and objects from Morocco's Amazigh (Berber) peoples. It needs a separate or combined ticket.
The Yves Saint Laurent memorial: a simple Roman column in the garden remembers the designer, whose ashes were scattered here.
Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech: a striking modern museum a short walk up the street, showing the designer's work and his love of Morocco.

Practical information

Tickets (2026): about 170 MAD for the garden, about 230 MAD with the Berber museum and about 330 MAD for the combined garden, Berber museum and YSL Museum ticket. International students and children aged 10 and over pay less, and under-10s are free with an adult. Check current prices on the official site.
Booking: tickets are sold online only, for a specific date and time slot, at tickets.jardinmajorelle.com, the only official seller. Tickets from unauthorised sites may not get you in. Morning slots can sell out days ahead in busy months.
Opening: daily from 8am, with last entry in the late afternoon or early evening depending on the season. The YSL Museum is closed on Wednesdays.
Getting there: the garden is in the Guéliz area of the new town, about 2km from Jemaa el-Fna. Agree a fare before you get into a petit taxi, or walk in around 30 minutes.

Book the 8am slot. By late morning the narrow paths fill with tour groups, and the famous blue walls are hard to photograph without a crowd.

There is a café in the garden and a well-stocked bookshop and boutique. Note that you need to scan your QR code at the entrance, so have your ticket downloaded before you leave Wi-Fi.

Combine the garden with lunch in Guéliz before heading back to the souks and Jemaa el-Fna. Our Morocco guide and our Marrakech first-timer's guide have more planning tips.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy Jardin Majorelle tickets at the gate?

No. There is no ticket office on site, so book online in advance through the official website.

Is Jardin Majorelle worth it?

Yes, as long as you go early. The garden is small, about an hour's visit, but the colours and planting are extraordinary.

Is the YSL Museum included in the Jardin Majorelle ticket?

Only with the combined ticket. The standard garden ticket covers the garden alone.
