About Le Jardin Secret

Le Jardin Secret occupies a historic complex in Marrakech’s Mouassine district whose origins reach back to the Saadian period. The property was rebuilt in the 19th century and later fell into decline before a major restoration returned its architecture and gardens to public view. Today visitors can explore traditional riad spaces, an Islamic garden, an exotic garden and a tower that offers views over the medina.
