Just a short drive from the center of Marrakech, along the Amizmiz road, the Royal Palm Marrakech has unveiled a new sanctuary of nature and culture, Le Jardin Ocre. Spanning five hectares, this lush haven blends landscape design, sustainability, and leisure into one immersive destination where visitors can reconnect with Morocco’s natural beauty.

A Living Garden in the “Red City”

Le Jardin Ocre is more than a botanical park; it’s a living museum of Moroccan biodiversity. The site gathers over 38,000 plants across 250 species, including a rose garden with more than 2,000 varieties and an organic vegetable patch covering 6,000 square meters.
A small educational farm completes the experience, with ponies, goats, and other gentle animals that make the visit ideal for families. Interactive installations (touch screens, augmented-reality kiosks, guided trails) help visitors learn about Morocco’s ecosystems and traditional agriculture.

Local media such as Luxe Infinity Maroc, Le Nouvelliste, and Infomédiaire describe it as “an oasis of knowledge and serenity,” where each path invites discovery and every scent tells a story.

Where Leisure Meets Learning

From Tuesday to Sunday, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., the garden opens its doors to locals and travelers seeking tranquility away from Marrakech’s busy souks. Entry costs around 80 MAD for Moroccan residents and 140 MAD for international visitors, with discounts for children.

Designed as a space of leisure and education, Le Jardin Ocre offers shaded promenades, play areas, climbing walls, fountains, and even pony rides. The goal is to make sustainability enjoyable — a place where learning blends naturally with fun and relaxation.

Taste and Tranquility

At the heart of the garden lies Marrakech Fine Food, a restaurant that celebrates seasonal, organic cuisine made with ingredients grown directly on-site. The concept promotes local sourcing and sustainability while providing visitors a refined culinary pause surrounded by nature.

Whether for a day trip, a family outing, or an after-spa stroll, Le Jardin Ocre offers a refreshing contrast to Marrakech’s vibrant urban rhythm, a place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.

A New Chapter for Marrakesh Tourism

Le Jardin Ocre adds a new dimension to the city’s tourism identity. It’s not a hotel, a museum, or an amusement park but something in between: a living, breathing landscape that celebrates Moroccan craftsmanship, environmental awareness, and the art of outdoor living.

For travelers looking to experience Marrakech beyond its walls, this garden marks a new stop on the city’s growing map of eco-friendly, family-friendly destinations.
