Created by French painter Jacques Majorelle between the 1920s and 1940s, the garden was laid out on a lush palm grove he acquired in 1923. He designed a remarkable studio and an Art Deco-inspired villa, transforming the park into a sumptuous botanical haven. "Majorelle Blue," a vibrant and intense ultramarine hue he used extensively, has become the garden's visual signature.

A Sanctuary of Exotic Plants
Spanning approximately 1 hectare (10,000 m²), the garden is a maze of shaded paths, tranquil water features, and exotic vegetation. It is home to over 300 species from around the world: cacti, yuccas, palms, bamboo, banana trees, jasmine, bougainvillea, aquatic plants such as water lilies and lotuses, as well as coconut and date palms.
