A Majorelle visit sounds easy until you realise that the garden, the Berber museum, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, and the Villa Oasis private garden do not all follow the same weekly rhythm. The most common mistake is assuming you can buy at the entrance or that every site works on the same Wednesday schedule.
The official pages make the practical rule clear. Buy only through the Fondation Jardin Majorelle ticket site, then build your day around which place matters most. As of April 22, 2026, the garden and Berber museum stay open on Wednesday, but the YSL museum and the Villa Oasis private garden do not.
What to know first
- The Jardin Majorelle site says tickets can only be purchased online and that tickets.jardinmajorelle.com is the only official ticket website.
- A Fondation Jardin Majorelle press release says that from January 30, 2023, online reservation became the only way to obtain tickets and the on-site ticket offices stopped operating.
- The Jardin Majorelle is open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with last entry at 6:00 p.m.
- The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts is open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with last entry at 5:30 p.m.
- The Private Garden of the Villa Oasis is open every day except Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with last entry at 5:00 p.m.
- The current official YSL museum press release for the exhibition running from January 30, 2026 to January 5, 2027 lists the museum open every day except Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with last admission at 5:30 p.m.
- The Jardin Majorelle site says the garden and museums are accessible to disabled persons.

Start with the ticket rule, not the queue outside
If you still plan to buy at the gate, you are planning with the wrong policy. Fondation Jardin Majorelle moved to online-only sales in January 2023, and its press release says the entrance ticket offices are no longer in operation.
That matters because the official sites also warn that non-authorized websites may sell tickets that do not grant access. The safe rule is simple: only use the official Jardin Majorelle ticket platform and keep the QR code ready on your phone before you arrive.
Wednesday is the real planning split
Wednesday is not a universal closure day across the whole Majorelle and YSL complex. The official Jardin Majorelle page shows the main garden open every day, and it also lists the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts open every day.
The two places that matter for Wednesday planning are the Villa Oasis private garden and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech. Both are currently listed as closed on Wednesday. So if fashion or the YSL museum is your priority, Wednesday is the wrong day. If your priority is the garden itself and the Berber museum, Wednesday still works.
Build the visit around last entry, not just opening time
Late arrivals lose more time here than many travellers expect. The garden closes later than the museums, and the final admissions are not all the same. That means a day that looks flexible on paper can shrink quickly if you arrive in the late afternoon.
In practice, the easiest order is to decide your must-see first. If the YSL museum is essential, protect the non-Wednesday museum window first. If the garden is the only priority, you have the widest operating range. If you want the Berber museum as well, keep its 5:30 p.m. last entry in mind rather than the garden's 6:00 p.m. cutoff.
Simple visit choices
This is why the best Majorelle strategy is not to ask which site opens first. The better question is which place you cannot miss, then which last-entry rule controls the rest of your afternoon.
- Garden-focused half day: book the official online ticket and plan around the garden's 6:00 p.m. last entry.
- Garden plus Berber museum: choose any day of the week, but reach the Berber museum before its 5:30 p.m. last entry.
- Garden plus YSL museum: avoid Wednesday and use the YSL museum's 5:30 p.m. last admission as the stricter time anchor.
- Villa Oasis interest: treat it as its own Wednesday-sensitive stop because it is also closed on Wednesday and has a 5:00 p.m. last entry.
Small details that save trouble
The official Jardin Majorelle page also says the garden and museums are accessible to disabled persons, which is useful if accessibility affects how you structure the day. And because every valid ticket now starts online, it is worth saving the QR code locally before leaving your hotel rather than assuming you will want to solve it in the queue outside.
One limit matters: the YSL museum hours cited above are the hours currently published for the exhibition period from January 30, 2026 to January 5, 2027. If you are travelling outside that window, recheck the museum's official page or current press release before locking the day.
