Full Description

Experience the extraordinary beauty of André Heller’s ANIMA, a garden where nature and art come together in perfect harmony. Often described as a “symphony of smells, colors, and shapes,” this magical place offers visitors a chance to indulge their senses and find inspiration.

As you stroll along the shady paths, you’ll encounter a rich variety of trees, shrubs, flowers, and fragrant plants from all over the world. Nestled among this lush greenery are pavilions and sculptures by iconic artists, creating a unique blend of natural and artistic beauty. The garden also offers breathtaking views of the often snow-capped Atlas Mountains, including the majestic 4167-meter-high Mount Toubkal.

ANIMA is more than just a garden; it is a sanctuary of sensuality, wonder, contemplation, joy, healing, and inspiration. It is a paradise that offers a truly unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

Take a moment to enjoy refreshing smoothies, lemonades, and delicious dishes prepared with fresh ingredients harvested directly from the garden. ANIMA provides a peaceful retreat from the busy streets of Marrakech, allowing you to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Discover this sensational display of art and nature and let the magic of ANIMA captivate your heart and soul.
