Marrakech’s Majorelle Garden Named World’s Second Most Beautiful, Study Finds

The Majorelle Garden in Marrakech ranks second behind the Gardens of the Bay in Singapore in the ranking of the five most beautiful gardens in the world established by the English-language site HouseFresh. Described as one of the most mysterious gardens in Morocco, the Majorelle Garden was designed in 1929 by a French painter Jacques Majorelle. It is a tourist botanical garden of around 300 species on nearly one hectare, an Art Deco villa labeled Maisons des Illustres since 2011, and a museum of Berber history, in Marrakech.

The Luxembourg Garden in Paris is in third place. The Bellagio Botanical Garden and Conservatory in Las Vegas and the Butchart Gardens in Canada complete the top 5.
