The Beautiful Ionian Sea

Ionian Environment Foundation

At Mar-Bella Collection, our story begins and flows with the sea. The dazzling Ionian Sea isn’t just a beautiful backdrop to our hotels. It’s part of who we are. It connects us, inspires us and reminds us of our responsibility to protect the natural environment we are fortunate to call home. That’s why we’re proud to support the Ionian Environment Foundation (IEF) and are in open dialogue with the Foundation to identify meaningful ways we can support local conservation projects, including a donation to the Ionian Dolphin Project, supporting its ongoing work to protect dolphins and other marine mammals in the eastern Ionian Sea.

Funded through the Ionian Environment Foundation, we’re supporting Archelon’s first Sea Turtle Protection Programme in Corfu.

Founded in 2019, IEF is dedicated to protecting and preserving the natural beauty of the Ionian region. By supporting local initiatives, the Foundation helps them grow, succeed and create lasting impact, focusing on conservation projects where support can make the greatest difference. Our collaboration with IEF is an opportunity to turn our connection to the Ionian Sea into meaningful, long-term action.

And here’s how you can help.

By choosing to make a donation during your booking, you can support vital marine life projects across the Ionian. Simply include the Mar-Bella Collection hotel you stayed at in the comment section when donating so your generosity can be tracked and celebrated.

Together, let’s show the Ionian Sea some love and help keep its sparkle shining bright!
