1. Le Paradis du Safran

This small saffron farm truly is a paradise, a relaxing and restorative break from the hustle of the cities, a destination worth the trip (45 minutes from Marrakech) for its beauty alone. Everything within this garden is lovingly cared for, which radiates through its blooming plants and healthy, happy animals. Christine and her staff provide a warm welcome with her stories and their tea with home-made traditional bread. It is worth your time in any season.

Nicely designed and maintained gardens, similar to those of Generalife in Granada, Spain. It’s a good place to recoup from the intensity of the market atmosphere.

Our family of 6, 8 years to 70 years, had a great late afternoon visit at these amazing beautifully restored gardens! You can see them as you drive in the New City, much botanical variety and color and water features and many places to sit and meditate. And walkways and spaces for families and young children to run and enjoy. It’s a cooling way to regenerate after the Medina. We loved it!!

If you want a respite on your way to and from Rabat or Kenitra, stop at these tropical gardens. Watch for the small road sign, which comes up abruptly. This garden created by Marcel Francois, a French horticulturalist, in the mid 20th century, is full of exotic plant life and water features. It is worth taking an hour to walk under the shade of its tall trees and to visit its different areas with plants from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Bring your own water and try to get there either early or late. In the middle of the day, the gardens are full of noisy, boisterous schoolchildren. The WC is clean and the entrance fee is $2.00 USD. If you are on the main road (N1) you might want to check out Medhya, a beach resort famous during the French protectorate and favored by American GI’s stationed at the now closed US beaches. A famous battle took place there during WWII between General Patton’s forces and those of Vichy France.

Beautiful! Hidden gem. We loved this tour, great place to spend time and take pics! You have to call and make an appointment to tour the gardens because they are often closed for private events and the have to make sure some one is available to show you around. Have your hotel call and set it up for you or send an email with notice. We learned a lot about the different types of cactus. The have 2 lil baby camels that were super cute. They are building a restaurant, so I would love to go back and eat once they’re done.

8. Le Jardin Secret
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,929 reviews
The riad-museum Le Jardin Secret is one of the largest and most ancient palaces of the medina of Marrakech. It is a place that has kept ancient structures intact that are of an extraordinary cultural value, linked to the art of gardens, architecture and Arab hydraulics. Popularly known as Riad Loukrissi, it has been the sumptuous residence of the Qaid U-Bihi who was the head of the Haha tribe. The riad rises up in the Mouassine quarter (on the main thoroughfare and but a few steps away from the Mouassine fountain and Mouassine Mosque), and comprises two large gardens and one of the highest towers of the medina. The museum provides you with a wealth of historical information about Marrakech's architecture, water, and gardens. You will also find a boutique, a bookshop and two cafes inside Le Jardin Secret. The cafes offer you up fresh, homemade products that you can eat in lush and peaceful settings.

After hours of walking and bartering your way through the Medina, The Secret Garden is just what you need to reinvigorate yourself before heading back out into the hustle and bustle of one of Morocco's Imperial Cities

André Heller's ANIMA is a magical place of surprising beauty that you wouldn't expect in the loud and crowded area of greater Marrakech. It's not only a garden: it's an impressive botanical staging. 250+ types of plants, from bamboo over palms and cacti, interact with pieces of art by Pablo Picasso, Keith Haring, undiscovered local talents and many more. Furthermore, two museum rooms present artists from around the world. Our own Café Paul Bowles offers meals made with spices and ingredients from the garden like saffron, mint, olives, etc. Enjoy fresh organic fruit juice, fine teas and delicious pastries...

This charity is amazing- doing great work in Marrakech for the abandoned & stray cats, dogs & other animals including stalks & peacocks, as well as the incredible work they’re doing for the working horses & donkeys. It’s a little off the beaten track but only cost 30 dirham in a taxi from the old town & we were given a tour by the really friendly & knowledgeable lady that works there. They provide a rehoming service, as well as a free hospital plus emergency care for the injured or neglected animals they come across. It’s great to know they are doing the best they can for the working horses & donkeys & she explained to us that all carriage horses have a band around their ankle which means the horse & owner are registered & the horse has to be bought in to be checked over & cleared for working. Any horse that is un-banded can be reported to them using the carriage number where you see the un-banded horse & actually after we left, we noticed some of these horses around the old square & reported the carriage numbers to them. They are trying to raise awareness of animal welfare in Marrakech & doing such great work, amazing to see. Please visit & donate!
