The idea was driven by a desire to create an oasis of creative people that complement the pristine natural resources of the island with the fragrant Mediterranean forest of Babino Polje. We wanted to offer inspiration of a better life to ourself, our friends, and all of those who enjoy the scent of the sea and pine trees, the view of the horizon, and the warm sun rays with a pinch of culture and active life. Our enthusiasm was transformed into harmonious hands that designed and built a natural idyll on our own, at the crossroads of art, culture, science, and sustainable lifestyle.

Through its continuous growth and development, MARS will achieve recognition in encouraging and promoting culture, art and crafts, science, sustainable lifestyles, and protection of health, environment, and nature through the development and implementation of innovative workshops, lectures and ambient screenings, concerts, performances, and exhibitions.
