In the heart of the Marbella Club, where luxury and nature seamlessly blend, an environmental endeavour is quietly unfolding. The hotel proudly champions Aula Del Mar’s seahorse conservation project, weaving a mission of marine preservation into the fabric of the retreat, the narrative behind our exclusive print collaborations with this idyllic hotel.

The conservation initiative, in collaboration with Aula del Mar (Classroom of the Sea), is dedicated to repopulating seahorses and protecting their Mediterranean habitat. Within a specialised culture tank at the Kids Club, seahorses flourish in an environment meticulously crafted to mirror their natural one. Here, researchers delve into the mysteries of seahorse ecology and behaviour, fostering breeding efforts away from the dangers of habitat loss and fishing nets.

Eventually, the offspring of these seahorses will be released off the coast of Portugal, where a successful reintroduction program awaits. Meanwhile, Aula del Mar and Marbella Club volunteers have been researching seahorse populations and habitat conditions in the Costa del Sol region. Their goal is to restore seabed grasses and prairie land, creating a haven for seahorses in Spanish waters. The project also boosts seahorse conservation awareness through engaging talks, workshops, and training sessions for those in the education, tourism, fishing, and maritime sectors.
