NATURE’S SYMPHONY: SENSATIONAL WORLD GARDENS

 

JARDIN MAJORELLE | MARRAKESH, MOROCCO

Created over the course of 40 years, Jardin Majorelle is one of the most enchanting and mysterious gardens in Morocco. Enclosed by outer walls, this garden consists of a labyrinth of crisscrossing alleyways on several levels. Boldly colored buildings blend both Art Deco and Moorish influences, and the exotic botanicals came from the farthest corners of the world.

Where to stay: Royal Mansour Marrakech

 

GARDENS BY THE BAY | SINGAPORE

Singapore’s premier horticultural destination, Gardens by the Bay is a showpiece of garden artistry that presents plants seldom seen in this part of the world. Species range from those in cool, temperate climates to tropical forests and habitats. Be sure to stop by the Cloud Forest, home to one of the world’s tallest indoor waterfalls and a lush mountain clad.

Where to stay: Capella Singapore

 

THE GARDENS AT PALACE OF VERSAILLES | VERSAILLES, FRANCE

A visit to the Gardens of Versailles combines history, art and natural beauty — a glimpse into the sophistication and extravagance of the French monarchy. Work on the Gardens of Versailles began in circa 1661, when Louis XIV entrusted André Le Nôtre with the creation, considered just as important as the Palace. Travelers find a geometric flowerbed, ornate fountain or serene pathway at every turn.

Where to stay: Airelles Chateau de Versailles

 

KEUKENHOF | AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

Often considered the most beautiful spring garden in the world, Keukenhof is about a 45-minute transfer from Amsterdam. History here dates to the 15th century, when the area served as the kitchen garden for Countess Jacoba van Beieren’s castle. Today, the garden is best known for its annual Tulip Festival, which typically runs from mid-March to mid-May; ask me about 2025 guided tours.

Where to stay: Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam

 

RYŌAN-JI GARDEN | KYOTO, JAPAN

Japanese rock gardens are designed to evoke a sense of calm and serenity. The most popular rock garden in Kyoto, Ryōan-ji, consists of a rectangular plot of pebbles surrounded by low earthen walls; 15 rocks are laid out in small groups on patches of moss. The garden’s meaning has not been made explicit, so it’s up to viewers to find their own meaning. I’d love to hear your theories.
