Jardin de Balata

The starting point for your visit is the Maison Créole, a traditional home of Creole culture.
During your stroll, you'll see rare exotic species: anthuriums, hibiscus, water lilies, porcelain roses, heliconias, pandanus, dracenas and balisiers. Every turn is a discovery, with palm-shaded alleys and bamboo cathedrals reaching for the sky. Ponds here and there invite you to take a contemplative break in the midst of this garden designed by talented landscape artists.

An exceptional panoramic view
As you explore the garden, you'll have the chance to soar to new heights! From the top of the suspension bridges, you'll discover the canopy and admire an exceptional panorama: the bay of Fort-de-France, the Pitons du Carbet and the green expanse of the garden unfolding before your eyes.
An activity for all the family
The Jardin de Balata has set up a play area for children aged 3 to 8, with slides, wooden walkways and huts... a fun experience in the heart of nature.

The Story of a Passionate Artist and Gardener
This marvellous garden is the work of Jean-Philippe Thoze, a passionate horticulturist and landscape gardener.It was in 1982, back in the Creole home of his childhood, that he rediscovered Balata, a magical place that would awaken his love of botany. During his travels, he collected rare and exotic plants, which he incorporated into the garden to create a veritable work of natural art. Today, the Jardin de Balata is a reflection of his talent and unique vision of nature, paying tribute to his memory after his death in 2017.
