Anima (André Heller Garden)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A magical escape just outside Marrakesh! Anima is an absolutely stunning place — a true oasis of art, nature, and tranquility. Created by André Heller, this garden is a masterpiece that beautifully combines lush greenery, colorful flowers, sculptures, and inspiring installations. Every corner feels like a new discovery, full of creativity and harmony. The atmosphere is peaceful and refreshing — a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. You can wander for hours, take in the beauty, and simply let your mind unwind. The views of the Atlas Mountains in the background make it even more breathtaking. The café is also lovely — great coffee, delicious snacks, and a relaxing terrace surrounded by nature. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the experience. Anima is not just a garden, it’s an experience — a must-visit for anyone who loves art, culture, and beauty.

I recently visited this garden and was absolutely enchanted! It was so pretty, with unique decor that made every corner a delight. The rosemary scent wafted through the air, adding to the charm. I also spotted some gorgeous kittens—such cuties! Please take good care of them. Highly recommend visiting this gem!

Beautiful! Go here instead of Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech - it is less busy and you can walk almost alone through the beautiful garden. It is not very expensive and a perfect stop if you head into the Ourika Valley.

Great park to visit, which is like an art exhibition. It is about a 45min drive away from Marrakech but there is a free shuttle service available that needs to be booked on the website. Would definitely recommend a visit, although you won't be spending more than 2 hours there. It's best to book an excursion to Ourika Valley with this along the way to make the best of it.

What a stunning garden! We booked the free shuttle which was about a 30-40 mins journey. Upon arriving we felt like we had been transported into a serene wonderland. Well designed for meandering around but I would recommend going around a second time as there are so many hidden objects! Delicious homemade orange cake, warm and tasty!

A wonderful morning wandering around the beautiful gardens and enjoying the cooler air, shady seating areas and nature. A delicious lunch from the café finished off our visit nicely.

Don't miss the animals garden when in marrakesh! A oasis of peace,beautiful nature and stunning sculptures and only 40 minutes with a free shuttle bus!

Stepping into Anima Garden is like discovering a secret oasis just outside the bustling city of Marrakech. Created by the artist André Heller, this isn't just a garden—it's a vibrant, living work of art. The moment you arrive, you're transported to a world of lush greenery and captivating sculptures that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape. The garden is full of delightful surprises around every corner, from monumental works by renowned artists like Picasso and Keith Haring to playful installations that make you smile. The paths meander through different botanical worlds, from a tranquil bamboo grove to a serene cacti garden, all framed by breathtaking, often snow-capped, views of the Atlas Mountains. It's the perfect place to slow down, wander, and simply let your senses guide you. The on-site Café Paul Bowles is a fantastic spot to take a break and enjoy a refreshing drink or a meal made with ingredients from the garden itself. The food is wonderful, and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing. What truly makes Anima Garden special is its ability to offer a peaceful, contemplative escape from the city’s energy. It’s a truly magical and inspiring experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech.
