Talk with the artist - The garden is an absolute must when visiting Marrakech! Art, nature, oases of peace are perfectly combined! André Heller has created something great! The highlight was a short relaxed conversation with the artist and his partner!

Auguste Rodin sends his regards, Keith Haring ... - ... sends his regards and of course the master André Heller himself, namely in the form of his own garden Eden. An oasis of peace, full of natural beauty and exquisite taste. Behind every bend, a new surprise awaits. Moving through a wonderfully fragrant, green environment, you can’t wait to discover every detail this wonderful place has to offer. The two to three hours pass like a flight – actually far too short before the shuttle bus leaves again. Personally, I could have easily spent the whole day there. Perhaps it is even a blessing that this beautiful place is located just outside Marrakech. This keeps the number of visitors pleasantly manageable and the garden is never crowded. Luckily, you don’t have to book slots here just to avoid the crowds. And the photo motifs are self-evident in this magnificent garden. You often don't even know where to pull out the camera or mobile phone first. Everywhere new perspectives open up, and you can let your imagination run wild when designing the shots. There is also a nicely designed cafe-restaurant with absolutely fair prices. There you can enjoy typical Moroccan food. However, I only had one coffee myself, as ordering a meal would probably have taken too long – and I couldn’t risk missing the last shuttle bus at 5:30 p.m. The small shuttle bus, which unfortunately can only carry about 20 people each, requires timely online registration – ideally one to two days in advance. Departure point is the parking lot behind the Koutoubia Mosque. Travel time: approx. 40 minutes. The entrance ticket is not a requirement for using the shuttle. You can easily purchase it after arrival on site at the cash desk and also pay cash. Go there, you'll love this place.

Luscious green garden with view of mountains from the cafe’s upper level - I took a taxi for 200 MAD (about £16 as of feb 26) to the gardens which is about a 20 minute drive from Marrakesh. The garden is lovely with waist high paths here and there with soft lavender and rosemary that you can brush your hands along releasing the aromas, nooks and cranny’s with hammmocks or sculptures or art installations. The birds were singing and it was a quiet restful place. There is a small water area, cacti patch, bamboo and other sections. The gardeners are very dedicated! If you look carefully you find the resident tortoise! At the small cafe with cushions and benches, on the upper level you have a gorgeous view of the mountains encased in snow! There is also a little shop with brightly coloured home made items. Suggest to bring local cash for entry, 150 if I remember correctly. I booked a taxi to collect me but there is a bus but it’s first come first serve…recommend.

A relaxing moment - After a good morning to visit and walk in the medina, a relaxing moment in the afternoon in this garden free shuttle (but don’t forget to book in advance) with its areas of shade, freshness, seats, hammocks, picturesque works.Don’t come to learn the name of plants, know the meaning of sculptures, just come to stroll. Rooftop with nice view of the Atlas.

Highly recommend - Highly recommend, great place to go to escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. This tranquil place is a wonderful heaven of surprises as you walk around. Beautiful garden ! Fantastic views of the Atlas mountains, and not many people around which makes it highly enjoyable. Don’t miss out the caffe at the end of your visit: an amazing place to enjoy a mint tea or a salad (great quality food) overlooking the gardens or on the roof top terrace for breathtaking views. This is 25km away from Marrakesh so you would have to organise transport but it’s easily done. There are free shuttles going there or you can book a ‘Grand Taxi’ for 400 MAR return with your driver waiting for you there. Totally worth it !

A pleasant and peaceful few hours - The free shuttle service is a great idea. We booked it on the Anima website just before purchasing our tickets... so as to make sure we could get there, as we had no hire car on this occasion. It was a 40 minute journey there, and on a hot day the gardens provided a welcome shady retreat. Nice cafe there for a late lunch. Impressive views of the Atlas mountains from the cafe roof terrace. And the art and sculptures in the garden were very pleasing. The shuttle bus took us back to Marrakesh right on time

Charming garden - So when I say that as an Austrian, it's almost self-praise. But what Andre Heller has created here is really great! An enchanting garden with funny, whimsical, beautiful artworks, overlooking the Atlas, which offers a magnificent backdrop in February snow and white. Unfortunately, not having everything on the menu in the coffee, but what was there was good. A great trip out of Marrakech into peace!
