Majorelle Garden and Villa — Morocco

One of the world’s most recognizable villa settings is in Marrakech. French painter Jacques Majorelle spent decades creating the property and its extraordinary garden.

The intense cobalt-blue architecture—now famously associated with “Majorelle blue”—creates a striking contrast with palms, cacti, bamboo, and other exotic plants. The property later became closely associated with fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé.
