DOING OUR PART TO PROTECT
THE DESTINATIONS
WE KNOW & LOVE

We have always been committed to championing initiatives that protect and conserve the environment. While each villa team manages their own impact and systems directly, Villa Collective is dedicated to building a sustainable future and we lead by example.

ALBANIA OVERBOARD

Our Founder, Nick, is the proud co-creator of Albania Overboard, an annual charity swimming race from Albania to Corfu that raises funds for local marine conservation.

The Villa Collective team organises, sponsors and manages the event, often monitoring up to 100 swimmers in the water. To date, we have raised over 200,000 EUR for key Ionian conservation projects, from protecting Posidonia seagrass meadows to monitoring bottlenose dolphins.
