Botanicactus

Botanicactus is a botanical garden near Ses Salines that spreads across a large area with over 1,600 plant species. The garden divides into three distinct zones, each representing different environments where cacti and other plants grow together.

The garden was founded in 1989 and became the first botanical garden in the Balearic Islands focused on drought-tolerant plants. This specialization emerged from the need to showcase and study the plant life of dry Mediterranean regions.

The garden blends traditional Mallorcan features like windmills and stone walls throughout its layout. These elements sit alongside the plant collections and shape how visitors move through the space.

The garden is open daily and features pathways that allow you to walk through all three zones at your own pace. Plan for a leisurely visit and be prepared for some uneven ground in certain areas of the grounds.

A large artificial lake sits at the heart of the tropical wetland zone, creating a surprising water feature in an otherwise drought-focused garden. This water body contrasts with the surrounding dry-climate plants and draws many visitors to explore the zone.
