I was pretty disappointed with Marrakech's famous gardens so I decided to make the journey to Anima in hope of a better experience and I was very impressed by it! There is a free shuttle bus you can take twice a day to and from the garden, the details are on the garden's website. The garden is lush, full of winding paths, hidden artwork, much welcomed shade and even has hammocks for relaxing and a cafe. It was one of the favorite things I saw in Marrakech!

A must visit if you are in Marrakesh! It is a 40mins drive by car from the Medina, which was totally worth it. The drive is not boring since there are camels and a nice view of the mountains. The Garden itself is amazingly constructed and very well maintained. The price pp is 14€. There is a nice restaurant inside also. It was not crowded when we went so we could sit and enjoy and take pictures. I think you can also get free shuttle (check their website).

Truly wonderful gardens to stroll around, chill on the grass, and have a drink with some food at the beautiful cafe. We spent a couple of hours here before flying back home, and it was a great way of unwinding from the busyness of Marrakech.

What a gorgeous garden! A must visit, beautiful, well-kept plants/trees, various art sculptures, and different types of plants/trees! Very clever ideas and well use of space here. I could easily spend hours here. Also, lots of birds here come and go. Great for birder. Thank you for being here and to all the staff for keeping up this place 🙏

Really lovely place to visit. Beautiful (and happy) gardens. A 45 minute tour bus ride from Central Marrakech. Allow around 2hrs + to walk around and enjoy the lovely surroundings, and a stop in the cafe. This really is a great place, and very tranquil. A happy place, lovingly cared for and a real treat. Unfortunately the mountains were very faint in the background today, but hopefully the attached photos will still do it justice.
