A Green Oasis in the Village
Gardens Beside the Monastery
Just steps away from the Royal Carthusian Monastery, the Jardins Rei Joan Carles provide one of Valldemossa’s most peaceful escapes. Created in honour of King Juan Carlos I, the gardens are a small but beautifully designed public space where visitors can pause after exploring the historic heart of the village.
Symmetry and Tranquillity
The gardens are laid out in a series of geometric paths and hedges, shaded by tall cypress and laurel trees. Benches line the walkways, making it an inviting spot to rest while surrounded by fountains, sculptures, and flowering plants. The symmetry and order of the design contrast beautifully with the rugged Tramuntana backdrop.
Art and Inspiration
Several sculptures and busts of famous figures associated with Valldemossa, including Frédéric Chopin and George Sand, are displayed throughout the gardens. This blend of greenery and art makes the Jardins Rei Joan Carles a place of inspiration, echoing the cultural heritage of the village itself.
A Peaceful Pause in Valldemossa
For travellers, the gardens are an ideal place to take a break from sightseeing, enjoy a quiet moment, or capture photographs of Valldemossa’s historic architecture framed by lush greenery. Free to enter and open daily, they offer a charming glimpse of how the village balances its cultural legacy with spaces of calm and beauty.
