Villa Oasis, the private Marrakech retreat nestled within Jardin Majorelle, has quietly transitioned from legend to lived experience, opening its doors to visitors for the first time in a meaningful way. Long celebrated as Yves Saint Laurent\u2019s sanctuary, the house now offers a rare, controlled glimpse into the intimate world that fed some of his most influential collections.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

A designer\u2019s private refuge<\/b><\/h3>\n

Saint Laurent and Pierre Berg\u00e9 bought Jardin Majorelle in <\/span>1980<\/span><\/a>, saving it from development and renaming the former painter\u2019s residence Villa Oasis, which became their home in Morocco. For decades, the villa functioned as a private refuge where Saint Laurent read, sketched, and recovered from the pace of Paris, while only the surrounding gardens welcomed the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside Villa Oasis<\/b><\/h3>\n

The interiors are known for saturated color, intricate tilework, and densely layered rooms that mix Moroccan craft with European antiques. Visitors now encounter mosaic floors, painted cedarwood, patterned textiles, and personal objects that maintain the feeling of an inhabited home rather than a staged museum set.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

A new layer to Majorelle<\/b><\/h3>\n

Jardin Majorelle is one of Morocco\u2019s most visited attractions, drawing close to <\/span>900,000<\/span><\/a> visitors a year in recent seasons. Opening Villa Oasis, even partially and often by timed or limited access, adds a deeper narrative to the site, connecting the famous blue garden directly to Saint Laurent\u2019s working and resting life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Access and visiting<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Jardin Majorelle is open daily, with the Private Garden of Villa Oasis accessible on specific days and hours, and closed on Wednesdays. This approach reflects a managed, preservation-led approach rather than allowing mass entry. Prospective visitors are encouraged to check official Jardin Majorelle and Fondation Jardin Majorelle channels for the latest on booking, schedules, and any small-group interior tours.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Villa Oasis, the private Marrakech retreat nestled within Jardin Majorelle, has quietly transitioned from legend to lived
